Bills need to cash in on the buzz that's developing around them. Lose to URI and they're seen as a flash in the pan, win and the buzz increases. Huge game for SLU.

I'm nervous about waking up the powers that be about this, but there are ways to get the Bills radio broadcasts over the net. Search around and you can find links. That's all I'm saying about that.

Not so sure we want Andy Katz being our cheerleader. I follow Wake closely here in NC and he's been on their bandwagon for the past few years, only to look foolish as the Deacons flame out in one post season after another. We need Katz to put the whammy on someone else, Temple maybe,? so his bad mojo doesn't hurt the Billikens.

1. Kwamain has cut down on turnovers and has heated up from the three pt. arc. 2. Cassity and Salecich have increased their three point percentage as well. Cassity's defense has been outstanding over the last half of the season. 3. Ellis has been steady, providing another three point threat, and giving us some size underneath to help out Willie. 4. Willie has steadily improved, able to step out and hit a jumper out to 12-14' on occasion. 5. Over the past three games, Justin Jordan has come on, playing excellent D and knocking down some shots, after quite a slump from Fordham through about

Latest NIT-ology has SLU as a four seed. If that holds, we get a first round home game. Glad to see the one bid conferences holding serve today. I think St. Mary's might have gotten an at large anyway. They smoked Gonzaga. Still about 10 more one bid leagues to determine conference champs. No way all those one seeds will win. Figure three to four will lose in the tourney championship. Bills need to take care of business on Friday.

I love listening to Rammer and Earl call the games. They are so into it although Rammer goes a little overboard on the "homer" stuff on occasion. I love it when it sounds like he increases his volume so the refs can hear what he says. I mean he's so close to the court, and you can really tell when he ramps up the volume. He cracks me up when he does that. Sometimes, I wonder if he'll get thrown out by some rabbit eared ref.

Clemson is not that good. Saw them last night vs. Wake and they're overrated. That shouldn't really be counted as a "good win" any more. People got excited about them early on because they waxed UNC, but then everyone starting beating down the woeful Tar Heels(For a guy who lives in NC, that's a fun thing to say.) Illinois does not belong.

Illinois doesn't deserve a bid. Any at-large team with 13, soon to be 14 losses should automatically be out of the tourney. Ought to be a rule or something. Really hoping for home games for the Bills in the NIT. Even with a loss on Friday, I can't believe they wouldn't make it.

True that! BTW, I'm new to the Billiken board so be gentle. Thanks!

Bills need at least one win to have a good shot an NIT home game. Two wins secures it.
