DirtyRican Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 National TV! Nice. Need to hook up the entire coaching staff with checkered pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 MB is already predicting a 30 point Duke win. I don't like the fact it is a buy game, but the fact that is on nationally on CBS lessens the blow a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strozier Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 That is huge. Nationally televised too...CBS. Too bad we probably won't get Verne, but maybe we'll get Gus Johnson. Mitchell rises and fires... I can see it now! Go Bills! Beat Dook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShoe Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Certainly can't see we're not upgrading our schedule this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strozier Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 This is Gigantic...LETS START THE DANG SEASON! The lead game into Army-Navy is awesome. Maybe Staubach swings by Durham on his way to Philly and gives us a pep talk. So Conklin will be going up against another Oregonian in Singler. Wonder if they ever played each other in high school.

Archy McNally Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 That should raise the SOS. CBS. I have never seen a game in Durham. Love to see the Bills there. Might make the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kshoe and I toured Cameron Indoor a few months ago and it's eerily similar to West Pine Gym. The layout of the court, concourses, entrance, etc. are nearly identical. It's just about twice the size.

bonwich Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Roy and I are going to carpool. I'll bring a cooler full of Scottradebasa in honor of their coach and our former home. I also hear SignGuy is making one for Roy to carry that says "Laettner Should Have Been Ejected!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Great news. You have to take an opportunity like this. It's interesting though since it's right in the middle of finals week... Usually Majerus tries to not have games (or have an easy one i.e. Rockhurst) during finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Honestly, I not sure why everybody is so excited. We just signed a deal to be a buy game and probably get our brains beat in on national TV. When we went down there the last time we at least got a game with them here. Unless we beat them our RPI is not going to get a big bump - our SOS will - so I guess there is something positive there. I hope this not what PDiddy was talking about - I was hoping for a two game contract with a home and home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this not what PDiddy was talking about - I was hoping for a two game contract with a home and home. I'd rather lose to Duke on the road than some low to mid major. It may not help our RPI but it won't hurt it either. 77 in a row non conference at home... sounds like they're due for an upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know. I'm pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for sure: if we pull this game off, the national attention would be huge and the world will know that SLU has arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerFilibuster Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I hope Willie and Loe are conditioning. We'll need big time minutes out of them against the Brothers Plumlee and Ryan Kelly. And I'm not sure who we'll have guard Singler. I'm less worried about Curry, Irving and Nolan Smith, considering they aren't over-sized for the guard positions.

This could also be a situation where we come in with a very good record and are beginning to generate significant excitement in St. Louis. Getting the rest of the city behind the team for this game, even if we lose, could be a boon for the rest of the season in terms of attracting the average bball fan.

Usually Majerus tries to not have games (or have an easy one i.e. Rockhurst) during finals. This is a Saturday game. Did you mean they would be preparing for the game during finals? Or do finals run into the next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game against Duke would also be a good gauge of how our beloved Bills stack up against the top competition in the NCAAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We effectively shut Curry down two years ago (albeit, it was 2 years ago when he was a freshman on a not-so-good team) but he led the nation in freshman scoring that year. I would guess we'll rotate several players on him. KC will get some time on him, as will CE assuming his defense has improved from last season. Depending his D, I could see putting DE on him too. Singler is not overly athletic, but he is very talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
