That's a pretty neat interview. Thanks for the report. My 2 cents is that Isabell is going to have to carry a rather large load the rest of the way. He won't need to score 30+ but he will need to be a dominate force. Bess' three point shot is gone (15% last 5 games), so we need to turn to Isabell to go hero ball as much as he can.
It was neat, I was shocked to hear substantive billiken news on 101 ESPN outside of game time and scheduled weekly Ford interviews. I stayed in my car for 10 min after getting home to listen. I really felt for Javon on everyone of those missed 3's the other night. Really seems out of sort, maybe he can get it back via adrenaline come tourney time. He has a way of showing up when we really need him, but we really didn't need his 3 point shot wed. night thanks to Izzy. Bess' drive and pull up game seems more intact, though still not what it was before. Maybe he can rely on that more.

Isabell was on ESPN 101 yesterday around 4pm talking about his Wed. night game. Gave a really great interview.
Emphasized the team effort it takes to have a night like that, and how the team needs to recognize a guy is in the zone and make the opportunities for him. Mentioned he was more concerned about winning the game, but in the last 3 seconds thought, "It's senior night, my whole family is here, maybe I'll just take it"
Gave a shout out to Williams' abilities, very mature.
Also spoke about how he would have liked to be at SLU for 4-5 years, knowing what he does now.
He also mentioned that Ford told him from day 1 that it would take until Feb-March for him to really click with the offense, the last few games have seen that come to fruition. Said he was really losing confidence in the beginning of the season but Ford always maintained confidence in him.
My own thoughts: He sounded really grateful for his time on team blue. And despite the heat he gets on this forum, he's a great billiken. Always trying to get the offense going. If he(and the rest of the crew) can take that confidence into the tourney, we've got a real shot to cut the nets.

Question for Wiz. My gut tells me that home teams do better on senior night than other home games. Do you know if that is true?
I'm sure Wiz will have a better response. and this is a little anecdotal, but look at Mason / VCU. It can go both ways.

Is that where students go these days?
Are there any SLU bars?
On your typical Saturday where do most students go?
(Not asking so I can show up and be a creep just curious)
*As a recent Grad* To start the night we primarily went outside of MidTown to places like Soulard. However, at 12:38am(and not a minute sooner) Lannex is where everyone goes. Including the MBB team when they are in town. It is(was?) one of the few spots left for billikens to go near campus.

Did uber deliver the killing blow to the slu bar scene? Much easier for kids to go out in Soulard, the Grove, Downtown, etc.
Nothing to do with Uber(though it doesn't help). Bars could survive in the area, but I think SLU makes life very hard for local bar owners

There is a rumor running around SLU that the Spring Street lofts is considering entering into a cooperative lease agreement with SLU, and The Library Annex would be closing as a result. Seems SLU has it out for the MidTown bar scene. Hump's, Diablito's, Lannex, Laclede's.

Just now, Slu let the dogs out? said:
I have the same question. Did Ford or someone on the staff say he was medically cleared to play again or are we just assuming he is?
Ford said it on one of the radio shows last week

We do. March 6th
Thanks for pointing that out, I guess I was only seeing games through February. I'll chalk that up as a botched first post on my part.
Thinking the Billikens will be out for blood in that one, especially after the "overrated" chants during last nights game. Hopefully we're heathier by then.
RIP HUMPS indeed.

Not sure what all the chicken talk is about but looking at the standings we are in a virtual tie with 3 other teams for 1st place all with 1 loss. Mason leads by a 1/2 game because they have played 1 more game then everyone else. We have just finished a 5-1 stretch in conference......there are 12 games left...If we have 2 more 5-1 stretches then we finish at 15-3....and according to the original post puts us in a good position to Dance.
In the original post , there was the disclaimer . that there still are a lot of games to go and that many of them will be close and that if something goes wrong you can lose. Tonight was a good example ....23 TOs and 10% from the 3P line...it doesn't go much more wrong than that ...yet we lost by only 4 with a number of chances to catch Duq. at the end. So when you have one of your worst nights and lose by 4 , there is hope.
Also a key to the rest of the season is parity....the chance to win every game remaining...I am not saying we are going to win every game...just that we have the chance to win every game...we should be favored in most of the remaining games and the ones we are not favored will be close. There are no automatic losses.
The rest of the season will be a long and winding road with little room for error..... but it is far from over.
Exactly ! It's amazing how quickly everyone is to call it. Bills lost one conference game, on the road.(albeit in hard-to-swallow fashion) There is plenty of play to go, and we have our biggest conference games ahead of us. I could see The Billikens winning every remaining home game, and dropping 1-2 more road games. We'd be in okay shape if we make a decent run in the tourney on top of that.
Too bad we don't host The Dukes in Chaifetz later in the season, THAT would be a fun game.

I think if Javon nails one or two early in a game we could see him get hot and make up for those misses pretty quickly. Thatch is quickly becoming the most exciting billiken for me. I feel more confident with him on the floor.
