Lasalle was the most recent A10 team to reach the sweet 16 and Fordham has the best media market. I agree that both of these teams are currently horrid, but I doubt the A10 will drop them anytime soon.

Thanks!

I can't find the game on my fox sports go app. Anyone else having this problem?

I wanted to bring this thread back to life. Great job by Ford and staff adding the NC State game. Ford's in game coaching and adjustments at half and throughout the game last night against NC State shows that he can be a good in game coach with the right personnel. Coach Ford gets an A+ for his time at SLU. Not many coaches could have turned SLU around as Ford has done.

I think Ford and co have done a great job of consistently scheduling power 5 teams that are beatable. Remember not many A10 teams can schedule and consistently win against power 5 teams like we have for the past 4 years: 2020: LSU 2019: Boston College & Kansas State 2018: Seton Hall & Butler 2017: Virginia Tech I think more important than just scheduling good games is scheduling good winnable games. This year we can beat anyone, but overall I think Ford gets an A+ for scheduling.

Thanks again Steve for all you do!

Another thought... Could I just start a twitter account and follow a similar list of tweeters? If so, who should I follow in addition to: @SaintLouisMBB, @CoachTFord5, @studurando, @ChapleyMedia, @RichChaifetz, @WestPineBills, @HouseRickBuilt, @SLU_Billikens, @SLUnaticsSTL

I really liked the twitter feed that Steve had on the billikens.com home page. I'll be honest that I am no twitter expert. Is there anyway to access this twitter list while the homepage is down? Just wondering. Thanks!

Donated via venmo. Thanks for all you do!

I am no statistician, but a worst case scenario of 21-5 in a strong A-10 seems overly optimistic. However, I trust the Wiz as statistics are the best way we have of predicting the future.

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...
