bhayes520 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sportscenter is about to go to the top plays of the weekend after these commercials I think. Edit: Just kidding...KL didn't make the top 10 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just kidding...KL didn't make the top 10 anymore. Guess it's easier to get a picture on Sportscenter than on the front page of our sports page Great and great game Bills!! Our time will come.

cheeseman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Guess it's easier to get a picture on Sportscenter than on the front page of our sports page Great and great game Bills!! Our time will come. Same thought occurred to me - IL gets the top headline and 3 pictures from their game with MO getting a picture to go along with their article about the upcoming game with Kansas. Some how we get no picture, small headline, and TT even gets the score of the Richmond game in StL wrong. At least those who saw the game know how great it was.

billiken_roy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 what is sad, is that i bet you ask the post decision makers you will get the standard "no one cares about slu" answer. yet i was at two functions yesterday late afternoon and evening and at both, all anyone wanted to talk about and claimed to watch was the billikens. no illini talkers. and i was in the midst of illini country believe me. the post screwed up (again) on this one. i will say that frank and renee knot led with the billikens on sports plus last night though.

The Associated Press didn't shoot the game, which would explain not having a picture in the paper. There was a staff photographer at the Illinois game, so they would obviously use pictures from that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the front page of the paper. I was just pointing out that the AP didn't shoot the game, which would make it tough to have a photo.

RB2.0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Bad news folks. Lisch got removed from the Top 10. I just watched the entire 11am eastern sportscenter and the buzzer beater was nowhere to be found. Not sure what everyone else saw but if you can, post the video.

The story was on the front page of sports, above the fold. It was played exactly as it should have been -- and Nate's explanation of why there isn't a picture is accurate, and reflects simple economics.

The 11am SC did the top ten plays of the weekend. Since KL's 3 was number 9 for yesterday coughbullshitcough he wouldn't have made it on the weekends top plays.

RB2.0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 No matter; it's top 10 Billiken all time.that is your opinion but I have to disagree. a top 10 alltime win should have a combination of at least two of the following three items. 1. a win over a big time opponent (see marquee over #2 louisville) 2. a big win in a "win or go home" type scenario, i.e. NCAA tournament or, given it is SLU, the NIT (see Drejaj). 3. incredible individual effort that really jumps off the page (see larry hughes era or for davidson, see stephen curry.) lisch covered number 3 but the other two points were absent. a great game and fantastic effort by the entire team though. big time win and one of the few exciting wins we've had in the past couple of years.

RB2.0 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 How many games do we have that fit even 2 of those 3 critera?do you really consider a win over a sub 500 team a top 10 win all time? its a great win but lets drop the pipe and look at this rationally. we've been playing basketball for a long time at slu. i'm sure we have games that meet this criterea. without doing any research, here are a few off the top of my head. 1. marquee over louisville 2. slu beating iowa in the NIT 3. SLU beating UC and making the run to make the 2000 tourny 4. slu marquette game a few years back where we had to phsyically hold back students from rushing the court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add beating #1 Kansas in Spoons last year. The Richmond game was important because it went into 3 OTs, something that never happened before. Heck, we beat Richmond last year in Richmond and no one remembers that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB, Major Majerus was talking about the one play (Lisch's buzzer-beating three at the end of 2OT), not the whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
