No one can possibly have any complaints about all that you do to give us the best fan site in all of college sports. Thank you so much.

Remind me when and why we played at the St. Charles Family Arena.

Pittsburgh is very cool if you stay in the downtown area between the rivers. Duquesne is easy to get to from there.

My list (I count 17): 1. Kiel Auditorium 2. TWA Dome 3. St. Louis Arena 4. Kiel/Savvis/Scottrade/Enterprise 5. Chaifetz 6. Sprint Center (KC) 7. Nationwide Arena (Columbus) 8. Hinkle Fieldhouse (Butler) 9. Dayton Arena 10. Siegel Center (VCU) 11. Rose Hill Gymnasium (Fordham) 12. Belk Arena (Davidson) 13. Hagan Arena (St. Joe) 14. UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse (Duquesne) 15. Gentile Arena (Loyola Chicago) 16. Barclay's Center (A-10 Tournament) 17. The Pyramid in Memphis EDIT: Sorry, I keep remembering more

It had no air conditioning during the time it was broken down. If the bus isn't running, neither is the air conditioning. I seriously doubt they had a bus that had no AC at all.

I spoke with him at the Billiken Golf Classic. He told me that he is done with basketball, despite the fact that he would definitely have opportunities if he want to keep playing. He plans on staying in the St. Louis area and its interviewing with companies now.

It was a shot at SLU. Journalists do this all the time. They will use someone else's words to convey a message that the journalist wants to make so that they can say that were just reporting facts. This was an article about a new business going into a building and the writer of the article interjected someone else's quote to make the point the writer wanted to make. Whether we agree or disagree about the sentiment, or not, it was an intentional shot at SLU by the writer.

I'm not saying that you would be wrong, but are you saying that teams like Dayton and SLU do not have legit shot at a national title?

That's who we will probably get

I cannot disagree with anything you listed. However, I really hope that the playing time next season is based upon merit and not other factors. If one of the freshmen is worthy of time, he should get it. If one of the guys we thought would be a starter isn't cutting it, I hope he sees more of the bench.

Key phrase from the announcement: "The event will take place between Nov. 25-28 and feature different pods and matchups, which are still TBD." Sounded good at first, but now seeming less and less likely we will get a power conference team. EDIT: looks like last year it was a combination of four team mini tournaments over two days and single game individual matchups. It lasts several days, but the participants don't stay any more than two days. It's a lot of teams that are in and out playing either one or two games.

The Sharma signing reminds me a lot of Javon Bess. Both are about the same size. Both were at bigger programs that would have utilized them more had they stayed. In 32 GP at his final season at Michigan State Bess had 31 FGs. Sharma had 30 FGs in 29 GP in his season at Virginia. Sharma was actually a much better 3PT and FT shooter than Bess in the final big program years. I'm hoping Sharma does the same stuff for us that Bess did.

Welcome to the Billikens, Ishan. Glad to have you on board.

Thank you for taking the time to come on and give us your take on our newest player.

At this point, I am hoping that the money we have already spent on these lower level guys moving up is part of the Casey, Dotzler, Hughes, Johnson money from last year. I'm really hoping that all of the Jimerson and Swope money is still there for us to make a bigger splash.
