kshoe Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Read up on this team, Billikids: http://slubillikens.cstv.com/sports/m-bask.../030900aaa.html As we entered this tourney I couldn't help but think that once before we had played an opening round 8/9 game against a team that had just beaten us in the regular season finale, played the top seed from Cinci, played a team that started with T in the 3rd round and played a team that started with D and that we had split with during the regular season in the tourney finale.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 There is hope. There is precedent for SLU. Let's get it done. Beat Xavier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That run was something else. I just hope if they get passed Xavier they dont follow it up with a dud. I dont think I could handle the ups and downs emotionally of beating Xavier then coming out flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Read up on this team, Billikids: http://slubillikens.cstv.com/sports/m-bask.../030900aaa.html Your Moniker fits- remember that John Redden really stepped up for SLU in the 2000 Miracle of Memphis. Who steps up this time? I hope and want to believe it was big that Tommie Liddell scored that big layup to tie the game at 60 today. I still say than no one in this A-10 can guard the good Tommie one on one. He used to be able to drive to the hoop, go up strong and score. I'm hoping there will be a carryover from his big basket today. Liddell had 9 points today. SLU needs more options, more threats on offense. And I still think that some of those options are on this team. And note that SLU was 11 for 11 at the free throw line. Coach Majerus has noted the free throw problems lately, and free throws saved SLU today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 were you at this game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAOVObydMM I was at that game. I ate like 12 power bars over the whole tournament (they were free and i was severely underemployed at the time). I was sitting in the first row of the upper deck and I remember everybody rooting against Cincy and commiserating with me. I had a few at the Harp later and things were OK.
