You can be wildly supportive of the basketball program and still profess a strong opinion against the Title IX office and SLU administration. These aren’t mutually exclusive viewpoints. In fact, I’d guess that’s the sentiment of about 95% of the board.

http://chipolaathletics.com/sports/mbkb/2017-18/bios/mahan_brandon_jtyq Are these shooting stats real? Sounds good to me. Seems to take a lot of shots for just under 3 minutes of playing time

I know there is little to no transparency in these Title IX cases, but is the Title IX office required to explain their punishment to those being punished? Or is it really a case of: ”You’ve been suspended for 18 months” ”Why?” ”No comment. “

I get your point, I just don’t think supporting women’s rights activities indicates a bias?

Let’s stop pretending that retweeting women’s march material is any kind of indication of her ability to remain impartial. Supporting women’s rights and being a hearing officer in this case is not the contradictory golden goose we want it to be.

Bess leaving would screw SLU basketball for half a decade?

That’s not how it works

The stat layout on the video boards is terrible.

Are you suggesting Baylor came out unscathed...?

Jeez. There's sexual assault cases every year in division 1 athletics. This will likely mirror more of a 2013 Ohio State football case than the Baylor scandal. This year's team will be highly impacted, and the players involved may not be around for future seasons. But the reason any of us are excited for this season is because of Ford's ability to get recruits. Until I hear Gordon has decomitted because of this, I'm still optimistic for our future.

WAT IS HAPPENING TO THESE THREADS

Gabe DeArmond is reporting that Martin is expected to hire Walker from Illinois as an assistant.

Seems like the consensus is that Travis Ford will take another coaching job if he wants to and will not if he wants to stay at SLU.

He hasn't been doing himself any favors all season, although I think it's fair to say his injury has had an impact. For D1 players with over 100 3-point attempts this year, Crawford has the 13th worst 3-point percentage.

I thought SLU had always owned the Diablitos building? And the reason for turnover was (in addition to mostly unappealing restaurants) was because SLU would charge a difficult rent to occupy it. This was all heresay, though. The guy who bought Humphreys is the worst.

I also do not understand the debate between Hines and Bishop. I thought the consensus was that Goodwin would be the primary PG, at least until Graves become eligible. I think Bishop would be a better two guard than Hines, obviously, but he'd compete for time against Roby and Henriquez. My gut says that neither of them will play much next year, barring any injuries.

I'm not saying he's faking his injury. More saying that he might not see the benefit of coming back this year because he can save a year of eligibility. After looking for an admittedly short time, it seems like the cut-off for medical redshirt is 30% of your team's games. At only 9 games played, it looks like he would meet at least that requirement.

Disregarding, literally, everything else. I have also speculated that Bishop might have decided to transfer. However, this is based on some ignorance, I'm not sure how critical his injury has really been and I'm not sure the rules on the medical red shirt. Anyone think I'm insane?

I don't plug my blog too often because it normally contains emotionally negative rants with bad hot takes, but I thought this one my interest you guys. It's a look at who the most out of place teams are as they relate to their conference. It's all predictable, but it's interesting to see how SLU racks up against all the other bottom of the conference teams: https://billibuckets.com/2016/12/08/ever-feel-like-you-dont-belong/
