Is someone injured???

According to https://barttorvik.com/team-history.php?team=Saint+Louis, Loe and Okoro's overall statistical rank is similar. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. A reasonable argument could be made either way.

I would probably bet all my money that if Gibson isn't injured, he starts.

Jon Rothstein lists us as one of his 5 teams on the rise. https://collegehoopstoday.com/index.php/rothstein-files/5-teams-on-the-rise-entering-the-2022-23-season/

I would guess 2 teams will have a chance at winning the finals...

Possible for sure. But if I was a betting man, I'd sell. So many things can go wrong... PLUS... not a single media outlet has predicted us to be a top 16 team and about half aren't even predicting us to win the A-10...

I'm pretty sure that they poorly cropped TEAM BLUE off the top and bottom of this image.

Honestly, I believe live streaming/TV broadcasts of games is one of the biggest reasons why attendance has been trending down. People can stay home and watch the game with analysis from home. Remember, 25-40% of the population are introverts (per quick google search lol).

I honestly do not think we are that far apart. I honestly respect your opinion and know that you are one of the biggest and best billikens fans and one of the most knowledgeable fans. I believe we can agree to disagree though. I believe this comes down to viewpoint. My viewpoint: - #TeamBlue appears to be Ford's expression for his team culture. - Using this for marketing is obviously not unique and may not appeal to casual sports fans. - However, marketing is important in two aspects: #1 attracting fans & #2 attracting recruits. - Although it is obviously not exclusively due to the #TeamBlue marketing, recruiting (essentially marketing SLU to recruits) is at an all time high since we started using #TeamBlue. I believe that this is due to the culture Ford is creating and if using the slogan #TeamBlue works for Ford, I say roll with it. Also, recruiting at an all time high is good for marketing to casual sports fans. Is it cool? How would I know... I was never cool... Is it unique... no but I think it is working. I personally dont love the phrase #TeamBlue, but this would not be the hill I would die on. Also... I think it's a bit extreme to not listen to an entire podcast because they use the phrase #TeamBlue. I also think it's inappropriate to say "get the f off my lawn," which is why I posted bad post. (In hindsight, get the f off my lawn may have been sarcasm and if so i apologize for my use of bad post) I do not disagree with the part of the post comparing it to generic colleges in movies like State or Tech. I have no intention of arguing with anyone.

Welcome to #TeamBlue!

Deleted post.

Don't get mad at the prodigal son. Throw him a party and cue the Pitbull!

Here's to hoping the last regular OOC game is Vanderbilt (that Ford offhandedly mentioned on the radio once...)

Smart to try to monopolize SLU as the city's team prior to Lindenwood's entry to D1. I know they are in a lesser conference (and most of you probably don't consider them a legit threat), but they have a brand of good athletics (for their level of competition) for all sports and they have skyrocketed upward in terms of level of competition (NAIA to D2 to now D1) recently.

And there was a lot of talk about how good Andre Lorentson would be...

Rhode Island #133 https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/20723

Aren't those seats like $5,000 each for a year? ("Donation" of course!)

Any word on whether Vanderbilt is actually on the schedule. I know Coach Ford off handedly mentioned it on the radio once but haven't heard any more since that time.

Kellan Grady (Formerly Davidson) signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Denver Nuggets. Lucas Williamson (Loyola) signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

7 A10 teams in the top 100 of home court advantage. (6 out the 7 are between #50 and #94) Next best A10 team is St. Bonaventure at #50 (based on last 60 home and road conf. games)

I just bought a Kenpom account. Per Kenpom, as of the end of last season SLU had the #13 best home court advantage overall in NCAA per advanced statistics. I found that interesting and thought I'd share.

I know Perkins and Ford. Who are the other two players featured in these photos? Sincere Parker maybe? and Forrester?

I wonder if this had anything to do with Yuri looking elsewhere...
