Ah, now I understand. The one who has the most high school ** stars is the winner. You should have explained it that way. I was talking about college, and you were talking about high school. I checked, Carter's college stats this year aren't all that great: 4.3 ppg, 2.1 rpg, and 3.6 apg. That is pretty weak for a high school superstar. If you want, you can supply his high school stats, since that is what is important. So, Wojo is the potato as he couldn't coach Carter. Hmmm.

My question was what is your fixation, your connection, on Marquette? Your two 'recommendations' that SLU pick up were from Marquette. It was meant to be a friendly inquiry. Assuming both Eagles are/were 4*, [I'm too lazy to look it up], they haven't been killin' it in Milwaukee. So does that make Wojo or Ford a potato? I fail to see your connection on that one. Why is Traci Carter better than Foreman, Henriquez, or Bess? I never said we were 'too good' for anyone.

PD said announced attendance was 12,409. Gym seats what 20-22K?

What's it with you and the Marquette rejects?

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/18325059/2016-2017-college-basketball-transfer-list Wow, already a lengthy list of mid season transfers. Sorry GloryDays, Cohen is headed to Horizon league powerhouse Green Bay. SMU's big 6'11" Aussie center is there for the pickings. There would be another big stiff for Soderballs to hate.

Johnson and Cooks will play pretty much the full game. Both seem to be getting a one or two minute break per half. If we sit back in our packed zone, these two will kill us. Both have no hesitation of firing up the three. Johnson is another one of those quick, 5'7" small guards that seem to give us trouble. He put 38 on the board against the Illini. Cooks is just the opposite, a 6'8" SF, from Australia, that can stroke it from inside and outside. (Think Cody Ellis). And as Wiz stated, Johnson doesn't miss from the line, currently hitting 92% from the FT. As a team the Eagles are at 74%, compared to SLU's 62%.

Wow, this article is by a former Antler. Shows how far the program has fallen.

Just to clarify the record, also with 6 blocks in one game are the Big Chill and Al Matiim. Willie R never hit the magic 6, but bracketed 6 with 5 blocks (twice) and 7(once). The overall record is 9 by Kelvin Henderson aganist Siena in 1979

Are you sure they just aren't getting out of this weather? Ft. Myers, tough gig.

Well, what player wouldn't benefit from a pure, legitimate point guard? We all know you don't like Welmer, but even poor little Elliott would benefit from getting the ball in a better position in the paint.

Unfortunately after the upcoming Illini beat down of Mizzou in the "Beggers Right" game, Groce will be 10-3. Even a sub .500 Big Ten record of 8-10 would give him an 18-13 record and likely save his job. He would have to really tank the conference to get canned.

The same analysis could be done on Harris versus his replacement, which would be very difficult for you to track. Who took his minutes and how did he perform? It could have been more than one player. Your statistical analysis, which I agree with, shows a +2 for this game with Hines. So we factor out (or in depending n your viewpoint) Harris' 13 points, but what is put in as his replacement? But I also agree, Hines had maybe his best game as a Billiken.

Welmer ties Big Chill and Remekun for single game blocks with 6 swats tonight. Hines has a very solid game at PG, 37 minutes, with 3 assists and only one TO. His 8 points were a nice add on. Of course, some MBM's say assists don't mean much. This team cannot shoot FT's. They are on pace to be the second worst SLU FT team in the past 20 years. Who would have thought that Welmer is turning out to be one of our better FT shooters on the team. Attendance was the lowest ever at Chaifetz.

So 12 TO in a half is okay by you. Got it

Fletcher Flop.

Where are these inbound plays?

12 TO in first half is good?

This zone has way too many holes in it. And very little ball pressure.

Austin!!

We need Bishop in there

Fat Bottom Betty!! Oh yeah.

How many traveling calls so far. At least three

Bad D for Johnson. Second foul.

So you were all over Fletcher two years ago?
