Below is what I have compiled for the 2020 nonconference schedule: 11/25: Northern Iowa cancelled 11/26 or 11/27: Golden Window MTE opponent (Nebraska, W. Kentucky, San Francisco, or Nevada) 11/28: LSU 12/8: Central Arkansas (source: https://ucasports.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball) 12/12: Evansville (https://gopurpleaces.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule/2020-21) 12/15: Indiana State (source: https://gosycamores.com/news/2020/9/28/sycamore-basketball-adds-saint-louis-to-2020-21-slate-lose-dayton-due-to-covid-19-changes.aspx) 12/20: Minnesota (https://gophersports.com/news/2020/11/18/mens-basketball-gopher-basketball-announces-2020-21-schedule.aspx) Date unknown: UMKC That leaves us with 1-2 possible additional games to fill for the nonconference schedule. Anyone have any insights into the remaining schedule?

The students are an important part of the game day environment and they should also be given priority (at least for a certain number of seats).

Jordan Nesbitt now has a prediction on 247sports for Memphis. This just confirms that no one really knows, even though everyone thinks they know where he will go...

Rivals just updated their top 150 list and Nesbitt is up 12 spots to number 46. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2021/jordan-nesbitt-232302

SLU just got a 6th crystal ball prediction for Jordan Nesbitt at 247. I'm not sure why I ever thought it was a good idea to look at the Illini board...

Over at the illini board, they sure seem confident.... Sure hope they are wrong... "The staff hasn’t gotten to Piper yet. You think just because Piper says that they are a “text” or a call away that they automatically answer DP every time he texts? Piper has no clue what’s going on here, his hand is being forced because of the National Snow article. And Snow has no idea either just like he didn’t with Jones up until the last minute The staff is in a good position here and the Nesbitt’s are keeping things close to the chest, which is good. Things have not changed in a couple weeks, this announcement is only on the heels of one momentum shift... and that’s when the Nesbitt’s made Illinois their leader and decided THAT was the best option. Nothing since then has changed... The National punditS here just don’t know it yet because everything has been so SLU heavy up to this point."

Andre Lorentsson is enrolled at SLU. See evidence below:

I enjoyed reading this quote: “It’s kind of close to home. I know they had a lot of St. Louis guys go there and have success. They know how to coach.” I know the perfect school for him!

Unfortunately, the whole team might have to redshirt if the COVID pandemic doesn't change for the better quickly...

Coach Ford was just talking about Fred Thatch on Rothstein's podcast on Monday. I doubt Fred is leaving.

#9) Big X now features Javon Bess!

By the way, the MAC is projected to be horrible next year. See the image below from https://www.barttorvik.com/ (A website similar to kenpom.com) For reference, the A10 is shown below... Switching would 100% ruin our strength of schedule. No thanks! **** The MAC has 1 team projected to be one spot better than Fordham. The rest of the teams are projected to be worse than Fordham... That's really bad!!

A single 6 seed from your conference is not super impressive to our fan base. Remember your audience.... SLU was a 4 seed in 2013 and was a 5 seed in 2014...

If you are looking for teams to root for in this year's TBT (The Basketball Tournament), check out: #21) Stillwater Stars features former SLU grad manager Phil Forte #7) The Money Team features Willie Reed And because we all love the A10: #8) Red Scare is a Dayton alumni team and features a former VCU player as well...

I assume this all occurred the year after Travis Ford left Oklahoma State, correct?

I thought this deadline had been pushed back. However, I have not seen anything specific. Does anyone know if June 3rd is still the deadline? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/29171708/ncaa-extends-nba-draft-withdrawal-deadline-awaits-league-pre-draft-line (P.S. I 100% trust Pistol... so I assume June 3rd is the deadline...but... for some reason thought the deadline was pushed back.)

Done.

I think I've posted this once before, but I don't care how much talent you recruit, you can't do what Ford has done without at least being a decent game/bench coach. See below:

I wish Madani the best.

I'm hoping we tap into a European pipeline (Andre Lorentsson, Marten Linssen, Ingvi Gudmundsson) in addition to our local/BBE pipeline (Goodwin, Thatch, Collins, Hargrove, Gordon, Okoro, Perkins). I'm not opposed to opening other pipelines as long as we continue to make local Saint Louis recruiting a priority.

Side note: I think it is awesome that Conklin has a check mark after his twitter.

post deleted.

Coach Ford is great. Hard to argue with this:

I think Mooney should get consideration for COY. Going from #FireMooney billboards at the end of last year to 2nd place this year is honestly pretty impressive IMO.

You mean our stretch 4 who hasn't hit a single 3 all season (I know, I'm being too harsh.... he is injured and has a very small sample size for this season..) But even if he was healthy, I wouldn't count on KC fixing our problems...
