Crappy foul call on Davell. Lead at 6.

Trashy play continues. Lead at 6. Timeout Travis.

This Sr. class is the winningest Sr. class in program history. From Coach Stone's description of the incoming signees, they might break that record.

Two of the greatest college games I've ever seen were, first, the '74 Notre Dame - UCLA game where ND broke UCLA's 88-game winning streak. One of the weirdest last four mins of a game you'll ever see. UCLA was clearly the better team, leading the whole way and up by 11 with 4 mins. to go. ND ended the game on a 12-0 run where the Bruins misfired on everything, even layups and tip-ins, and ND made everything they looked at. It was a shocking ending which sent me and my friends into fits of great joy. The second was the '74 National Semifinals game against NC State, played at the Greensboro Coliseum. I grew up in ACC country and you can count on the fact that the team we all hated with a passion was UCLA. UNC fans would pull for Duke to beat them and Duke fans would pull for UNC. That's how much the hate consumed us about UCLA. Anyway, State, led by the great David Thompson, came back twice, once in regulation, then from 7 down in double OT to win. Greatest finish I've ever seen. As an aside, my Mom was a Red Cross nurse who often provided medical care for the Coliseum during special events. She got the plum assignment of the National Semifinals, and following the State UCLA game, John Wooden's wife fell ill. They took her to the First Aid room and my Mom provided her with care. A short time later, Coach Wooden came in to check on her and my mom gave him the rundown on what had taken place. Eventually, she was sent to the ER and spent a night in the local hospital. What a cool spot to be in for a lady who knew more about sports in that era than about any 10 ladies you could find anywhere else.

“The acid was so good, it was unbelievable. I could smell colors, I could see people’s thoughts as they were thinking them.”

Believe this or not, but my son, a UNC Greensboro grad, was at their home game tonight and started hearing people behind him referencing the Billikens. After 35 years of me following the Billikens, he's become a fan over the past 5 years or so, and loves listening to Rammer and Earl. After a minute or two, he said he turned around and asked them how they're associated with the Billikens. Turns out it was none other than Ty Graves' Dad sitting behind him. Said they chatted during some timeouts and the situation is apparently as crazy as we've been led to believe. SLU is trying hard to save face with Goodwin but cast off the others as they have no ties to the community. Said he didn't pick up any info on why Bishop is still practicing, not playing, but enrolled. Haven't been able to get a full report on what was said as he called when the game was at halftime. Is that a crazy coincidence or what?

Couldn't get playing time behind the stud center at Seton Hall. Can't recall his name. Wanted the chance to play, Coach felt he needed some big bodies, or at least tall ones, so he transferred here. Not sure it worked into as much playing time as he hoped but he has contributed, maybe more than he would with another year at the Hall.

On that note, I'm wondering why I didn't get to hear the post game show. Online, 101 went on an endless loop of commercials, about half in Spanish, the other half in English. I reclicked the link a few times but it went right back into the extended commercial loop. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks for the clarification. Would help if I clicked the right link.

Was listening to the postgame interview here: https://www.pscp.tv/SLU_Billikens/1OwGWMAaLdZxQ and was wondering who coach was referring to at a couple of points. The first starts at 9:43 and the second at 11:24. Anyone know?

Billikens smite the lowly Rams!!! Two games over .500? Is that allowed?

I think the A-10 isn't considered for the CIT. I'd take a bid to the CBI.

Don't think so. It was Demery.

Neither team deserved to win, but we deserved it less. Still, a W is a W and it keeps our hopes alive for a winning season. Time to move JJ back into the starting lineup.

Rammer says, "The Billikens win in one of the ugliest messes ever seen!"

JJ!!!

And 17 that didn't have a chance to go in.

We cannot score. Need to get fouled and make FTs to win. Absolutely miserable showing tonight.

What a BS call on the blocked three pt. shot. Joke.

Roby 1-12.

Don't look now but Roby 1-11 from the floor, 1-7 from three.

Roby, brick, brick, brick....

It's even worse, it really, really, really, really sucks.

Miserable half of basketball. Win percentage favoring the Joeys at this point.
