Perfect timing for me being back in St Louis this weekend

Refs had a couple bad calls against VCU in the last few minutes which did not help but their offense burned my eyes to watch

One thing I don’t think I’ve seen people mention is that Yuri had his 3rd and 4th fingers on his right hand taped up pretty good in the Murray State game, may have explained him not having the best shooting night. Hopefully it was minor and will heal be healed up before Memphis

Interesting, I checked on the St. Joes guys I was thinking of and Langston Galloway, DeAndre Bembry, and Charlie Brown Jr were all on teams for parts of last year but are currently free agents.

Actually, the Spurs signed signed Hall to a 1 year non-guaranteed deal after they had waived him and his 2 way contract in August. He got re-signed because they needed help after injuries and the waiving of Josh Primo after his exposure incident. What a wild way to find yourself getting NBA minutes. Also made me wonder, does St. Joes have the most A-10 players in the NBA currently?

Not a ton in here we don’t already know about the changing landscape with NIL but I did find it interesting that SBUs big 3 all said they were coming back and were set to get NIL $ but then were still lured away last minute by the big boys

They have said that in past years as well but screenshots have still worked.

good write up on the Bills coming in at 22 in 247sports rankings https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-basketball-rankings-Saint-Louis-claims-No-22-spot-in-247Sports-countdown-195326273/Amp/

Don't know if he is attending classes but he has posted some of him shooting at chaifetz and at the Cardinal's game last night (billiken night at the ballpark) so I would assume he is at classes

And people were getting on Ford for not practicing FTs enough....at least French was shooting 30%

Thanks to all for the first hand accounts. From an out of towner’s perspective the ESPN+ broadcast did a good job. Only small gripe was I wished they would show the time next to the score on the display. Any update on Simon’s injury? I think I saw someone on crutches in one of the highlight videos

The internet rumor is that he smoked laced weed and has had psychological problems from it and possibly been diagnosed as schizophrenic. Again just the internet rumor that is going around

I think this is a the unfortunate new reality for mid majors that want good games. You aren't always going to get great home and home matchups like we do with Memphis and Auburn. Look at Dayton's home schedule, theirs is much worse than ours. The big teams don't want to play on the road at good mid majors but will play them in neutral events.

I think he’s saying they don’t have much at home

Strong start for the women! When is slaughter rule applied?

It doesn't really matter since they still took it haha
