I'm not used to having things go our way. Something bad is going to happen, right?
Give it time.

Well I’ll be a son of a Beach. The Fighting Lassina Traores are dancing!! Fired Dan Monson on Monday then go and punch their ticket!!

Lassina Traore with 23 and 9 as Beach is up 6 on UC-Davis with 3 to go. He’s a stud, too bad SLU wasn’t the right fit for him.

N.C. State takes out Virginia, can they pull it off ??
Shades of Jimmy V?
Not likely but would love to see it. Maybe Keatts keeps his job even if they lose after this ACC Tourney run?

I’m already getting buckets of popcorn to munch on while watching the free for all on this board when SLU hires Ahearn. It’s 100% a SLU move.

Every time Curcic got on the court we took the lead. I want him around.
I could see him being a third guard getting 15-20 mpg who can make threes in rapid succession. Davidson always seems to have a player or players like that. Be nice if we had one.

I’d keep Medley hoping to get an upgrade in the portal and he can be the backup as he was intended to be this year. SVB can stay because you always need a banger and the 5 extra fouls that comes with it. You can count on SVB to give 100% effort at all times. Which brings us to Eziwero because I’m not sure you’ll get the same thing. Just from observation, it looks like an adjustment to the attitude is in order.
I like Curcic’s fire and shooting but can’t see him being a starter at any point. Zhang is playing at the wrong level. He’s a low D-1 player, if that, more like D-2. Has a few post moves but just way too weak.
Definitely hope Thames and Hughes stay. Parker, too, if he wants to but that appears to be in serious doubt.

What was the final shot? Down 1 with 3.4 to play (after being up 15 at one point) NBA range 3… AIRBALL. Woof.
A10 Basketball remains undefeated.
That was awful. What were they thinking?

3 games, 3 upsets so far. The Dukes might make it 4.

A few Missouri State players have hit the portal. Nesbitt back in the portal (what a weird kid). And a URI bench warmer already declared just a day after getting bounced by us. There will be a flood of players next week. Let the fun begin!
Nesbitt was highly overrated out of high school. Can’t imagine there will be much interest in him. His stats at Hampton were atrocious and he seems to be a massive head case.

The Wiz, thanks for all the great analysis and prognostications on the Bills’ games. When it’s gameday and there’s no The Wiz breakdown yet, I’m like what’s going on with The Wiz?
Is it really 8 months until we get ‘24-25 pre-season forecast? Counting down the days.

May is going no where. Let's be real.
Baseball is 15-1 currently.
Softball is 12-8 (good, not great)
Men's tennis is 9-2
Women's tennis is 10-0
Volleyball has a new viach that seems universally well liked.
Women's basketball went to the NCAA tournament for the first time ever under a new May hire.
Men's soccer underperformed this year but is meeting or exceeding expectations overall.
Women's soccer is in a golden age and continues to improve.
Men's basketball stunk this year but won 20+ games from 2018-2023 - excluding covid year (not great but well above mediocre)
Also the Champions Center is an impressive feat.
To me it would seem dumb to fire May
No room for logic or reason here. It’s all about the hate.

Let’s go Bills! Jimerson makes some threes and we might steal it.

I'm with you. I just don't see why people care so much about how I feel about the final few games of the season. Me getting a Twitter message from a poster on this board telling me that my kids look like "retards" so they must get it from me since I don't even "support SLU" and that maybe they "should f.u.ck up my life" for my posts yesterday seems like people care a little too much about me wanting the season to end.
I have no problem with those wanting to support the team and coaches until the very end. That's probably the best approach. But I simply don't. I'm ready to put a dying dog to rest. But it's fine.
There are still posters on this board who think it was just a down or unlucky year. There are posters who think we are close to turning a corner. Those posters need to stop messaging me on Twitter. First of all you're wrong. Second of all it's not personal.
To be clear, that was NOT billikenbill sending that message. Very uncool to do that.

Jimerson also was named All Academic. How can you miss mentioning that?
Didn’t read down that far before I posted.

What's Parker's status?
Didn’t make the trip. Dislocated shoulder. Generally, the only way to fix that problem permanently is surgery.

Zhang is a still, tall turnover. SVB has shown promise as at least a back up Power Four or five.
Yes he has.

SVB was huge in the second half and Medley was terrific. If Jimmer makes some threes we kick their a$$.
Didn’t get to watch the Duq. game and chose not to listen to the replay, but I suspect we don’t have much of a chance, but Go Damn Bills!!
