Forget being the Zags of the Midwest. I want SLU to do what they've failed to do twice on this stage.

Zaga is in trouble.

Yeah. If it’s not that then it’ll be something else. The Billikens live for drama.

I'm thrilled, but I've seen this movie before. I hope they live up to the hype.

Yes. They not only passed over him, but Mussleman, Tinkle, and Kelvin Sampson for Cuonzo.

A Billiken fan would never say this.

Then what’s the point in following the program if they decide to aim low ? SLU is a different mid major. In that they sit in fertile territory of serious talent and have the facilities and resources to get one or two high recruits. If they were a pre 1999 Gonzaga, Duquesne, or a Davidson, then I would agree. Recruiting is the only thing Travis Ford is good at IMO. If he loses that, then it’s time to part ways.

And Mizzou had him in their own backyard and ran him off. They can't do ANYTHING right.

Agreed. I would love to see these worn at least 3 times a year.

No question. Ford mishandled this big time.

The NCAA, ladies and gentlemen. NCAA kicks Oregon State Beavers out of hotel in the middle of the night after Elite 8 loss (yahoo.com)

Even Pat Maroon was interested in purchasing a jersey. SLU will never get it.

No one cares about any other program but SLU. As it should be.

I take comfort in the fact that (knock on wood) the Blues broke Boston sports and they’ll be reeling for awhile.

Pathetic. Journalism is dead.

Hush

Nah because they won’t get top flight guys out of Chicago. They will end up being like Belmont. There’s too much competition for the city they’re in. All of the B1G and Illinois schools go there. Plus you get teams from Big 12 and AAC going in there as well as Big East. They will be a good team but won’t be huge, just because they aren’t national recruiters. If you have offers from Illinois Michigan Michigan St Northwestern DePaul Creighton Butler Cincy You’re not going to Loyola. Gonzaga went international and didn’t have the competition locally Loyola has. Loyola is like Tulsa in the Nolan years. The Valley is a league of runs. One school will run it then disappear.

Too good for that, remember ? Just like we were too good to consider Moser for the HC job.

Loyola is everything SLU should've been. I'm not ashamed to admit my jealousy.

Now you're getting it.

Well said.

They may be a feel good story, but St. Louisans should never root for a team from Chicago.

I sure as hell would. He would've had this team dancing even with the COVID hit.

Or maybe the “Billiken haters” don’t care about the NIT.
