  1. We were only 312 in 3pt % defense? It sure seems we were worse than that…
  2. Sycamores are good looking trees, plant a hundred of them around campus if that’s what it takes to get our new coach…
  3. SLU travels to Central Arkansas to take on the Sugar Bears (yes, that’s the team name) Thursday, March 21st, 6:30pm, game is on ESPN+. Winner gets to go play at Northern Iowa, time and date TBD. I couldn’t find any common opponents in their schedule, they play in the ASUN, 21-11, and 14-0 at home.
  4. One or the other. It will be interesting to see if TV viewership supports all the games.
  5. The WBIT is a new tournament not under NCAA control that starts play this year, the WNIT continues. Teams can decide to play or not, (Miami declined to be a #1 in the WBIT, and isn’t playing in either). Between the NCAA (68 teams), WBIT (32 teams) and WNIT (48 teams), there’s 148 women’s teams competing in postseason play. From the A10, Richmond is in the NCAA, VCU, St Joseph’s, and George Mason in the WBIT, and St Louis and Duquesne in the WNIT). It will be interesting to see if all the tournaments survive in coming years.
  6. Look up womensnit.com. The field is 48 this year, first games start March 20-22. You and Pete put your podcast out too early this week!
  7. Or, cheer on the SLU WBB team as they play in the Women’s NIT this tear instead of arguing over the men’s team. Final Brackets come out today, the ladies are in though.
  8. It was actually a very hard non-conference. Coach Tillett has scheduled as tough of a non-conference as she can both her years here. Still, this is a shock to me. I;ll take it though.
  9. A10 only got 2 because Dayton stumbled in the tourney. If Dayton won the A10 tourney, it would have been a one bid league. If Duq was the team that shoved ISU out, as potentially pointed out by @The Wiz’s computer, then could Dayton winning the A10 tournament have gotten ISU in? The real truth for both leagues is that Dayton was the only team in both leagues good enough to lose their conference tournament and still make it in. That was the margin of difference between the MVC and the A10. Not a very large difference.
  10. Dukies travel better than I would have thought, congratulations to them.
  11. Exactly, recruiting doesn’t mean much if you can’t develop a player. This is not the only example, and has to be a major reason why Travis Ford is no longer our coach.
  12. Slaten is a doofus who just spouts stupidity non-stop. Why anyone with a brain would give him a radio show I have no idea.
  13. They are still giving Kevin Slaten a show, so standards for hosting a radio show are obviously non-existent. Listened to the segment, the hosts argument was basically his opinion was right, and everyone else’s was wrong. Hard to argue with that. @Pistol gets my admiration for keeping his cool and not laughing at that idiot.
  14. I’d rather let my dog’s turds lie there instead of letting Slaten on my property.
  15. I’ve been ignoring Cusumano for years myself. I really don’t feel I’ve been missing much
  16. TV wanted the preliminary games earlier in the week to fill in for regular season games that aren’t happening as teams rest, and wanted the championship on Sunday. All hail the undenied ruler of everyone’s schedule, TV.
  17. Dayton blew it, Dukes advance, hopefully Dayton still gets an at large bid, but might find themselves sweating it out on Sunday.
  18. Only 1 incoming freshman for us to worry about, right?
  19. Honestly, I don’t think there are any rules anymore
  20. He could play on the same team as Dalger, while working on family problems…
  21. @Pistol might need to actually do his job to keep getting paid, or Mrs @Pistol will not be happy….
