bonwich Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I actually would rather be picked 10th than, say, 4th. Always better to be underestimated by any opponent who's silly enough to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always better to be underestimated by any opponent who's silly enough to do so. Hell, I was hoping for something lower than 10th. Put a nice chip on the kids' shoulders.

SLU_Nick Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Haha, I am in delusional homer mode. I would wager just about anything that we will finish better than 10th. Of course I also put a sizable wager on the bills against louisville +13.5 ....Man how did we not cover that. Still bitter. Lesson that I will never learn: Never bet on the bills unless you are betting the under with Soderberg as the HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I bought the preview and have it at home. I'll try to post the standings, the SLU write up, and anything else relevant sometime tonight or tomorrow. The article is pretty bad and if I remember correctly it doesn't even mention any of our incoming freshmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 let me beat 13 to the punch ..... Finish: VCU, GW, Dayton, Richmond, Umass, Rhode Island, La Salle, St. Joes, Duquesne, Saint Louis, St. Bonaventure,Mason, Fordham and Davidson. All A10: Graham (VCU), Anthony (Richmond), Sibert (Dayton), Garino (GW), Ndoye (Bonnies), Biruta (URI), Wright (La Salle), Lalanne (Umass), Weber (VCU) and Pierre (Dayton). Newcomer Team: Hinds (Umass), Price (La Salle),Brown (St. Joes), Rogers (Dayton) and Royal (Mason). Best Arenas: VCU, Dayton and St. Joes. Quotes: VCU, GW, Dayton and Richmond have combinations of talent and experience that could lead to championship contention..... "It seems like every night it's a different tweak, a different look, a different system that really challenges you." - Jim Crews ..... The five seniors combined to score 76% of the team's points last season .... This defines the rebuilding project of Jim Crews..... SLU goes from one of the nation's most experienced team to one of the youngest ..... Three holdovers (on the roster) played a meaningful role last year .... SLU led league in scoring defense .. with rugged players who competed physically, which will be difficult to replicate with so many young players .....Leadership will be needed from McBroom, Glaze and Manning ... Yacoubou may immediately become the Billikens go-to-guy..... Crawford and Lancona who didn't play much last season will received extended opportunities. Our write-up was the only one where not a single player received any "personal ink." One oversight, Ash was not listed in transfers being eligible this season --- but Cam Biedscheid is. In Top Incoming Freshman, none of ours are in their list of 178. VCU, Dayton, Mason (Therence Mayimba -- remember him?) and URI have players listed and NONE of those are on the All Newcomer team. Our recruiting class was however listed at #82 out of 90 listed... with VCU, Rhode Island, St. Joes, Mason and George Washington all in the A10 with higher rated classes.

kshoe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 One oversight, Ash was not listed in transfers being eligible this season --- but Cam Biedscheid is. Not getting the roster correct seems like an insanely large oversight. Hard to take any report, good or bad, seriously when major details like who is going to be on the team are blatantly wrong.

Billikenboy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 No one knows what kind of team SLU will be so take all so called predictions with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 To be clear ..... Ash was listed and talked about briefly in the write up (Billiken go-to-guy). The failure to list him coming eligible was in their list of 2014 transfer eligibles. Of course, even though I went over it three times, it was printed in like agate 6-point type and my eyes are old. Plus it's alphabetical,then it's not,then it is again. If someone sees him let me know. Failing to list Ash certainly voids all the merit out of this write up for sure.

slufan13 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah I looked multiple times and didn't see him listed. If "inside reports" from posters on this board mean nothing, then previews from national reporters who haven't seen or heard anything mean even less. I like the debate on this board. We'll see what happens. I've heard good things, but I know it has to play out on the court during the season. Definitely a lot of questions.

TheA_Bomb Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think Ash is going to tear it up. 1 year of practicing with the team and he has the size to cause some problems in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I can't believe they even still print these sports annual things. Even in their heyday, they were hopelessly outdated by the time the spring training/preseason games actually started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Do these writeups even matter anymore. Lets just give the NCAA title to Kentucky! No need to show up at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Do these writeups even matter anymore. No! The only thing that matters is some random guy's blog that has us listed outside of the top 144. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
