    I'm 200% sure you are wrong, but if it somehow came out that it was correct, I'd be done as a fan. I couldn't actually root for that team. 

    If skipping this game was the difference between making the tournament and not, I’m 200% sure you would be cheering for them in the first round

    We flew to Virginia on a private plane and stayed a night in a hotel. If the committee seriously thinks we were “ducking” Richmond, they probably shouldn’t be on the committee anymore. Everybody is aware what is going on with Covid, SLU is not the only team dealing with it. There is a zero percent chance the committee goes back and says, “I would’ve voted to put the Billikens in the field...but we never really got a satisfactory explanation for why they didn’t play Richmond.” 

    I’m a season ticket holder and think we are ducking them. We are not back to where Ford wants them and going 0-2 in conference puts them in serious trouble of making the tourney with so few games played. Med staff raised a concern and they ran with it to not play is my guess. Better than the risk of losing. Now they have time to get back to where is needed. No doubt in my mind if they beat Dayton they would be playing now

    Man the Daddy Porter contract is going to rank right up there with Pujols as one of the worst in sports history.

    Not even close. An assistant coach wouldn’t be in the top 100 bad college basketball hires. Got better recruits, not Porters, from it too.

    Cant coach and getting paid a lot but nothing close to worst

    That's the million dollar question right there.  It's a completely different story when you go to city's like Omaha or Cincinnati where the people in the region, as well as the media, love their local basketball teams. Part of it has to do with SLU's inconsistent history, but I think another part of it is that the Post has traditionally hired a lot of Mizzery graduates to write their sports columns. The Bills need a true fan  to be covering them. Stu Durando just seems so low energy about the program...

    You don't need a cheerleader covering them. That's silly and would be one sided. Let's leave that will our broadcasters. We need to get back to being relevant and the coverage will follow. I did enjoy Tom Timmerman when he covered them 

  5. Good players can make up for coaching shortfalls, especially in non-major conferences. I think Crews was an ok X/O guy, except that stupid not filling the lane thing on free throws, but couldn't get needed players. When he had the guys Majerus got/developed, things were great still but I could have probably coached that team. Ford should be able to win a lot in the A10 from getting good players and Tate should help him. I like it a lot.

    I think either type of coach can win a lot of games at SLU. Romar is an elite recruiter but has trouble coaching. If Ford can recruit at Romar's level and coach a bit better the future is very bright, and that is what I am envisioning. You get away with a little more in the A10 than PAC whatever number now and ACC.

    I can't believe people on this board are questioning WR's ability.  He went head to head with Hassan Whiteside in college, and looked as good or better.  He has manhandled people in the NBA.  I have never once questioned his talent.  He is 6'10" and can jump through the roof.  He is surprisingly strong.  He has a nose for scoring and defense.  

    Just don't put him in a situation where he has to make a life decision when emotions are involved.

    Manhandled people in the NBA? That is a stretch, a long stretch. He could be a decent backup/shot blocker/rebounder playing 10 mins a game but not much more than that.

    His personal reasons for leaving an NBA team mid season tell me he is still very immature and wont get much money but I hope for the best.

  7. He has the money, good for him to buy nice things. 

    SLU fans should be more concerned with Pestello making SLU overpay for his residence in the CWE. Or the fact that he added his wife and daughter to the payroll. And his out of town son as a full time student. I would like for him to keep the budget in check and hope Travis Ford does whatever he wants with his cash.

  8. Our coach didn't run the right offense/plays for our veterans. This was not n Milik but the play calls and leaving Hines at PG all game

    You are a stupid if you think Ash is back next year

    I love how Crawford scores 1 point all night, Bishop scores zero, and somehow it's all Milik's fault we lose. If our "veteran" leaders don't a) foul out or B) ###### the bed, we win the game without Milik having to take the clutch 3 in OT. Without Ash and Milik next year, we suck even worse. As Al Gore says, an inconvenient truth.
