Bad beginning, good end. We won by 10, nice.
I liked our answer to our previous "4th Qtr" scoring woes. Especially, with Parker out.

Putting up 80 with Gibby being a no show is wild. In a good way
Good way to disprove the strategy, Shut Down Gibson and Win!

Ok. That was funny.

Up 7, with 3 minutes left. We can do it!

We are up 9. Can't complain.

Hughes seems off today. Sick/injured/offday?

Parker. I thought it was ankle roll the way he limped off the court. Didn't look significant either, hoping it's just your standard ankle roll - ice tape elevation and fine by tomorrow. Throw a brace on there.
I think I roll my ankle every time I play basketball. I'm still walking.I think you're right. Need an appointment with Dr. Feelgoid tonight.

Parker goes down, doesn’t look good.
Cramp in the calf, it looked like.

A bunch of Robys is not good.
Being scrappy means you play hard but have no talent.
What?
Being scrappy means you overcome your deficiencies with hard-nosed effort. Which language is your native one? It's clearly not English

These Bills are scrappy. Love that! Like a bunch of Robys. This is the style I foolishly envisioned with Travis as coach just with a higher talent level.
-
Our team looks like the typical #6-10 seed team in the A10.
Could be worse. Probably need some eligibility issues to work in our favor to get higher this year.

Let Duke give him a job. Tatum is a Duke name now. No thanks.
Yeah. Great take. Remember when the Tarheels disowned the Jordan family because Marcus Jordan played for UCF? Me neither.

Tatum wasn't even 3 when Justin quit playing for SLU. Justin was no fan of SLU when he left or much of the time he played here. I don't know about this timeline.
Dude, Jayson was a toddler but he was always there at the Savvis Center.
Can't say the same for most of the students at the time.

Again, I was hardly criticizing Vice, just defending SLU fans who shouldn't have to apologize for poking a little fun at him. Why would we want him to do well at his next stop? Just to make Ford look bad? You almost seem disappointed that Vice is redshirting and not making an impact as a freshman.
Kids backing out of commitments is very common these days. It should not be considered a knock on our "coach/program" in this instance. Why did it happen? Seems pretty simple. An assistant left for another job - again VERY commonplace. On the flip side, our own Mike Meadows changed his mind two different times before committing to SLU - from Loyola Marymount to Cal (where he was even on their campus on working out this past summer) to SLU all in one recruiting cycle.
I agree there is no reason for Billiken fans to root for players that spurned our program. But I don't get the schadenfreude with watching those players fail elsewhere (special exceptions like Gordon, I do understand).
I really didn't care for Jayson Tatum getting animosity for going to Duke. He did the best thing for his career. He would not have improved playing 1 year for Jim Crews. His competition in practice at Duke was the best it could be anywhere. Playing Gillman and Knollmeyer in practice, or whoever was 2nd string back them would have held him back.
Jayson was at almost every game his dad played in at home. He's a true blue Billiken fan even if he didn't attend here.
The other guys don't matter to me whether they do well or not.

Agree. And Goodwin wasn’t good at it either, nor is Jimerson to this point. I do believe Parker has it in him.
In my four years as a student, we didn't ever have a problem getting scoring late. We had Larry Hughes, Justin Love, Justin Love, and Mo Jeffers in those 4 years that would handle that roll. If anything, our closing problems then amounted to getting stops.
But it does seem to be an issue getting late points ever since Jett graduated.

So the major conspiracy is over, five days after it happened. Now we can get back to whether or not there was a second shooter in Dallas in 1963.
Second shooter, third shooter, and the actual first shooter.

I don't really like the guy, but lumping in Alford with Crews and Isiah Thomas is harsh. Alford flamed out at UCLA (as have a bunch of other pretty good coaches), had middling results at Iowa, but was really successful at New Mexico. He got Nevada to the NCAA last season, but jury is still out on him there.
Alford left Iowa a dumpster fire. If you think Situation 1 and 2 at SLU were embarrassing, you might be surprised at the off court happenings of the Alford era in Iowa City. Yes, he didn't ruin every program he took over, he absolutely gets credit for ruining the Hawkeyes.

As a Billikens fan his memory will be tarnished because of his protege, Jim Crews' performance as our head coach.
Yeah, Knight had some former players that built programs--like Coach K. And he had some that wrecked programs--like Crews, Steve Alford, and Isaiah Thomas.

Jordan with some quality play in the last 5 minutes of the 1st. A 3 and two floaters for 7 quick points.

-amazing as when I looked at a box score with the game in the second quarter he -7
That was mostly due to KD chucking up high degree of difficulty shots while his teammates were on the perimeter giving the Suns no chance of rebounding his bricks.

Wow, he did the Sean Archer move from Face Off!

Good drive by Dalger to draw a shooting foul.
