    Billikens.com is really a collection of carefully selected sports savants. We are living in a simulation, and this group was specifically chosen to correct all wrongs in the sports world. 

    I feel so much more important than when I woke up after reading that.

    SLU and Maryland have only played each other once in history, in the First Round of the 1994 NCAA Tournament at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita, KS.  SLU was the 7 Seed and wore the home white uniforms.  Maryland, the 10 Seed, led by freshman Joe Smith, won 74-66.

    That was the Charlie Spoonhour SLU renaissance season, 23-5, began 14-0, with even President Bill Clinton commenting about the team.  That was Erwin Claggett and Scott Highmark's Junior year.

    This span of a few years was when I became a Billikens fan Lifer!

    Perkins will be fine, a lot of factors added up to what we saw last night. Working his way back to full strength against a Memphis team that was playing defense with the strategy to constantly foul and make the officials decide where they were going to draw the line. Very Shaka/Havoc eque. Memphis is also incredibly athletic and quick, maybe not the best situation for a player who could be lacking explosiveness.

    This was an important step in his road back. He got knocked around, challenged at the rim and sent to the floor. He learned that his body is still resilient, that every time he lands awkwardly isn't going to send him back to the injured list. If nothing else he re-gained some confidence in his repaired leg.

    Great post- out of likes- which is shocking after a Memphis win.

    For those at the game, what was your take on Perkins? Hard to tell from TV because you can't see him except for when eh has the ball.

    He definitely is still not there. It’s slight when he doesn’t play much but he’s definitely not putting it all on that leg.

    What I love most is I don’t have a favorite or even five favorites in my billiken fandom-( over thirty years 😜) 

    we have had so many phenomenal memorable players that I just can’t replace when a new amazing player comes in… I could never remove rob loe, or Brian Conklin, or kwamain, French, claggett, Hughes, kevin lisch, Liddell, jett, highmark, Goodwin, Donnie Dobbs, Bonner- so many more that i could spend all day thinking and reminiscing on.

    AND many of them are just great people on and off the court and I love it. 

    BUT- every one of them had their faults that would really ruin a game or two during their SLU career- and people on the board would want to bench them, reduce play time- belch and moan about them-

    and I can’t say I specifically remember any of those bad games as much I remember the great ones. 
    calm down- enjoy the ride- truth be told they are (more than likely) doing a better job than most of us MBMs could do. It’s a W- you could lose sleep over much worse things. 
    Can’t wait for TUESDAY!
