Good luck to him and I hope he doesn't hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 http://heardthisblog.com/?p=732 This is great news for SLU. Remember when Ian played for Greece over the summer? He came back a beast and had a terrific year for us. And this was after two years of where we all thought he was too soft for D1 hoops. My guess is that on these national teams the players eat, sleep, and drink hoops almost 24-7. Also going up against tough older guys every day should improve his toughness. Great news.

After Canada and now playing in this competition, RL should be about as ready as he's going to be come practice in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise_08 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The first few weeks are all about getting the syllabus and making sure you don't skip exam days. More importantly, knowing when the last day to drop for the semester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have his individual results, final scores from the games, anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have his individual results, final scores from the games, anything? New Zealand lost 3 straight games to Australia. Loe didn't get many minutes.
