    By the end of the game, the TV announcers were stunned by the futility of our defense.  

    Now they see things from our perspective. Defense is so much about effort and communication. Let's just say those two elements are lacking a bit.

    Lisch was absolutely a better athlete than Hughes II and Meadows. Hughes is not a great athlete. He's been over-rated on this board because his dad is rightfully a beloved figure in SLU history.

    Also, Lisch came to SLU as a very fundamentally sound player. It's not like Sodie magically transformed him into that.

    The biggest problem is that it's a poorly constructed roster lacking talent. Not enough good basketball players - it's that simple.

    Agree with this all the way. I'm really not sure how many D1 guys we have.

    Things are happening.  If the choice to move on from Ford is made (assuming it hasn't already) it will be made before the team leaves for the A10 tourney.

    SLU basically fired Crews right off the floor of the A-10 tournament.

    I think anything outside the SEC, Big 12, Big 10, Big East, ACC is a much harder sell than it was even 12 months ago. I am fine with SLU being a springboard for a bigger job for candidates though (would maybe apply to Schertz but not Mack). And as backwards as it sounds, the contract given to Ford should appeal to candidates. To get that kind of money/years/security after one NCAA run should make us more marketable. Ford had some other solid years in there but if you aren't dancing and still getting that kind of security, it's pretty impressive. To be the highest paid coach in A10 history having never won the league is pretty appealing. And I'm guessing the next coach will be pretty well paid too unless SLU is going to budget shop. 

    I agree with this quite a bit. I don't think SLU is all that attractive right now. Horrible AD and a 200ish NET team will probably hurt quite a bit. On the plus side, SLU has very strong facilities, money to make improvements, and a galling lack of accountability for performance.
