ACE Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Was last week the biggest week in SLU bball history (not including postseaon play)? To beat two ranked teams and climb into the Top 25 this late into the season... I can't think of a bigger week during a regular seaon.

We probably beat a couple ramked teams in a row back in the Spoon days. The thing is, I don't ever remember us getting the netional pub like we just have.

Cowboy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 -if not, certainly in a long time -can't look past the Hawks or the GW's, need to keep this going, grow the bandwagon, grow the media love, keep the momentum, get a higher seed, see you in Atlanta!!!

NextYearBill Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 if you think about we also beat Charlotte in the span of 7 days. HUGE WEEK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Easy Ed's teams probably had some bigger weeks, but that's awhile ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShoe Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It's not regular season, but the Miracle in Memphis is still probably tops for all time great weeks. 4 wins in 4 days, including wins over #1 Cincy and a top 25 Depaul team in the final.

MB73 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Too early to celebrate the season, but we DO deserve the 18 & 19th rankings, and we are hot as hell, 9 wins in a row, 8 were wire to wire strong or even blowout wins, the other, beating Butler at Butler is a damn good win. The way we are playing now, this is probably the best team we have had since the Easy Ed era, and as another poster pointed out, that is impossible to gauge. Argue all you want, but again, 6 bigs, 3 who are key, 2 who contribute. Never, ever, have we had that. Yes, the three guards are super. We still need to finish strong, and win a game or three in the NCAA's. But right now, sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. This week was awesome, but was anyone shocked by what we did? Not really. That C-USA tournament in Memphis was something I'll never forget, given we were a 15 win team that had no business being in the tournament and nothing short of an amazing run of basketball (John Redden playing the best basketball of his life) and some luck (Kenyon Martin breaking his leg) was going to get us in. Bonus points for the fact that the morning after the Utah NCAA loss, my roommate and I saw Dave Ferguson scream at his girlfriend "I'm tired of hearing all this buuuullllshit 'bout the damn game!" in front of Marchetti Towers. Dave pretty much spoke for all of us there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Jordair Jett's play resemble that of John Redden's during that "Miracle in Memphis" stretch to anyone else? And JJ has been able to sustain that for some time. Best yet, we get another year of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 She did. Add that in and there's no way it wasn't the best week in Billiken hoops history. Using that logic it is a tie because your mom made me some killer breakfast burritos Saturday morning. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think it resembles and surpasses Redden's play during that stretch. And as you say, JJ has sustained it for some time now. Just thought I'd take a look at how JJ's numbers look over the 9 game winning streak: 12.3 PPG, 3.0 APG, 3.2 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 2:1 A/TO, .542 FG%, .429 3FG%, .659 FT% And that doesn't really take into account his defense, which is hard to easily quantify with stats. Yeah, the guy has been playing HUGE these past few weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i'm not trying to compare Jordair to Redden...Jordair is by far the better player, but in terms of kind of carrying the team (to the extent you can say that with our ensemble cast) I guess that's a fair comparison.
