There have been some great teams over the past 30 years, with some outstanding players and coaches, but I am as excited for the future of the program as I ever have been. I knew Ford could recruit, but this season has proved me wrong on his coaching ability. I refuse to worry about losing Travis to a better job offer. A lot of people believe this was just a spot for him to regroup after the firing at Oklahoma St, but the A10 is a good basketball conference and he is in a good recruiting area so I won't worry until it happens. If he puts together a good run here and he leaves, then the fans get to enjoy it. He may find that he can routinely build a top 15 team and get a contract he is happy with and stay for a long time. Either way, it's really nice to have some fun after being down. Go Bills!

When you see the effort the players are giving every single game, digging down deep to pull off this unbelievable run with a depleted roster, it makes it that much sweeter. These guys are playing 30-38 minutes a game giving max effort, and CG could barely walk up the floor when he was in the games...just saying. He was a talented recruit that I would have loved to have kept had he been a team player and actually contributed, but the offense had to wait on him for about 10 seconds to catch up with the other 4 guys in the offensive zone. He clearly didn't have the heart to put in the work. This may make some people mad, but this is a public forum and this is my view. He clearly was a cancer on this team just like he has been almost everywhere he has played. I hope the kid has sleepless nights over the decisions he has made recently. It may actually wake him up, but I seriously doubt anything will. I don't care if he ever earns a dime at the pro level. He looks like he is on downward path and that's shame...but I hope not.

The reason I feel like talking about this kid is because it contributed to what this team and coaching staff had to go through because of his selfish actions. I don't feel the NEED to talk about it, it was just a question. I wouldn't think too hard about things brianstl.

Am I the only one who would love to know what Carte’Are Gordon is thinking right now? Wow, the guys you were supposed to have gone to battle with, had their backs, and had a brotherhood with just made the tournament after you bailed on them after 13 games. leaving them to scramble to regain their footing. What you saw there Carte’Are was something I hope you someday can figure out. That was desire, will, determination, teamwork, unselfishness, and character. What it lead to was a chance to do what every NCAA player dreams of, which is playing in the NCAA Tournament. It was another step in the growth of these young men. Enjoy your decision, because in a strange way you may have actually helped this team come together by leaving.

Man I sure miss Spoon, and Rammer with his H-bomb calls (and he certainly took HIS guys there)...that being said, Travis has been masterful over the past few games, and this win has to help in recruiting despite what some people believe. It may be next year, it could be a transfer, it could be a 15 year old we don't know about yet, but the exposure and success of a program is nothing but a win. I doubt there is a Paul O'Liney sitting at home on the couch and saw this game and makes a decision to come to SLU, but you never know what the benefits of this win and trip to the dance will do for the program. Martin is a decent coach at Mizzou, and hopefully Brad Underwood can turn things around for Illinois, but with both Illinois and Missouri both fighting for many of the same kids that SLU is, this can't hurt! I mean wouldn't you want a coach who is animated on the sidelines and decides to take a leap into a pile of humanity in celebration of the biggest win in years?? Think how loud home games could be next season! I remember the days when we were 7th in the nation in attendance under Spoon!
