slu72 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Congrats to JC and the 2013-14 Billikens. He really deserved to win it all. Great job, JC. We're proud to have you, or think we are if Fr. B can get off his fat arse and sign you up, as the HC of the Saint Louis University Billikens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbizzle09 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Definitely an honor to get 2nd place in voting for the AP award. I think he still has a very good chance to take the Naismith award. Historically, there hasin't been much cohesion between the AP winner and the Naismith winner. In terms of the coaching awards this season, it really has basically been between Crews and Larranaga. Here's hoping that Crews can take home one more award come this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their (Mason's) improbable run ended on April 1 in Indianapolis when they lost 73–58 to eventual national champion Florida in the national semifinals. http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/Indiana/indiana_motto.html "Crossroads of America" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Metzinger Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 On ESPN, I see they've added the tilde (ñ) to Jim Larrañaga since he coaches in Miami, also home of Billiken Anthem rapper Pitbull. Very interesting. I'm Über impressed by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
