Defense could be an issue.

GAME ON !!!

Giving up 39 pts in first half to Ky Wesleyan?’!!! …Season over!

Your cynicism makes me sad. Your the one who is delusional if you think more than half of the Billikens think they will play in the NBA or more than half of Mizzou’s football team thinks they will play in the NFL. While some college athletes don’t care about the education, I disagree that most don’t care. In fact, whether they like it or not, most of the D1 college athletes in revenue sports that play 4 years end up getting a pretty good education. Most get a degree, and 4 yrs playing D1 football or basketball looks a lot better on a resume than my summer job painting houses during college. Athletic Scholarship students are forced to go to class and study hall with access to tutors. Not to mention the discipline and team work, etc. that they learn from playing on the team. In my opinion, most D1 college athletes in revenue sports get a far better education than they would if they didn’t have an athletic scholarship.

I'll be there.

The fact that Yuri wouldn't have been the starting point guard at Tennessee probably had a lot to do with it. Also, I highly doubt Tennessee would pay a sub $250k.

Yeah, I was being facetious. If Yuri had of transferred to TN last season, he would have been a sub.

Yeah, Tennessee is still looking for somebody to back up Zakai Zeigler.

The guy is a class act! Just passed Jordair Jett as my favorite Billiken of all time.

Mrs King and I are in.

Not me.

Hey Menace, I'm pretty sure that Conklin summers are illegal in Communist China. But, since he's stateside, from seeing the videos, BZhang needs to hit the weight room.

Agree. I just hope that Billie Gillespie is still available this time next year.

I agree with BBF on this point. If anything, recruiting is even more important with NIL. NIL and the Portal means players will be coming and going a lot more than in the past.

...and get to the Sweet 16 at least once before I die!

There is no way that Tennessee was going to give Yuri Collins $200k to be their back up point guard. Also, I’m sure SLU matched whatever Tennessee did offer.

As a 9 seed, they lost to the 8 seed by 2 pts. Looks like the seeding was dead on. Fordham and their 132 NET would have been blown off the court.

LOL! You just lost a lot of credibility

Calm down Menace. 7 footers from France are notoriously soft.

I guess you could say that Fordham used the Mizzou Model? They played 10 non-conference Quad 3 or 4 games compared to Mizzou's 7. Fordham beat 8 of these teams by double digits compared to Mizzou's 4 double digit wins. Fordham finished 25-8 with a NET of 134. Billikens finished 21-12 with a NET of 99. So much for the "Mizzou Model".

The “Mizzou Model”? Mizzou played 15 Quad 1 games, and 13 Quad 3 or 4 games. Billikens played a tougher than average non conference schedule and still only played 6 Quad 1 games, and 19 Quad 3 or 4 games. It is impossible for the Bilikens to follow the “Mizzou Model” because the A 10 will never offer the Billikens the opportunity to play 14 Quad 1 conference games, like Mizzou did this season in the SEC. It’s pretty clear what the Billikens need to do to make the NCAA Tournament; win more games, and by bigger margins.

That finding, alone, is overwhelming proof that RPI is completely F’d up, and should not be considered when determining the NCAA Tournament seedings.

Thank God TFord was able to sign Cian Medley before this negative comment was posted!
