TheA_Bomb Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 T-Hicks I don't agree with you at all. When have you ever heard of anything like that ever happening? You know what I have heard of? UNC playing SLU when Hansborough was in school and the whole town of Poplar Bluff showing up. As for SMS and SIUC, I hate em' but I don't mind playing them it's the closest thing we have to rivals besides X and SVU. So keep it going. It's a cheap road game too and keeps more money in the AD budget for other stuff like Compliance Officer's pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't see how you consider X a rival. They won't play us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicCityBilliken Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Keep SIUC, its the closest we have to OOC rival right now. Also, didn't draw about 10,000 for last November's SIUC game? As far as MO State game, I don't care, seems we never can beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Not sure why people keep saying SIUC and Missouri st don't improve attendance. They almost always have a higher average than other non-conference games and last year our only sellout besides vcu was SIUC. We should play them both, particularly given that we aren't an attractive opponent for most teams right now. I don't have the numbers but they were posted on other threads over the years and the total increase is not that high. By the way I never said they did not improve attendance what I said was they do not add that much to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't see how you consider X a rival. They won't play us. I'm including them as a geographically close school that we have a long history of playing (up until recently). Yeah as of now we don't play.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 T-Hicks I don't agree with you at all. When have you ever heard of anything like that ever happening? You know what I have heard of? UNC playing SLU when Hansbrough was in school and the whole town of Poplar Bluff showing up. That game was at Scottrade, not Chaifetz. And some of you apparently don't know what the qualifier, "possibly," means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That game was at Scottrade, not Chaifetz. And some of you apparently don't know what the qualifier, "possibly," means. Simply put there is no possible way Duke will play a double header at the Scott trade with mizzou and Illinois being the other game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73Billiken Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I agree with slufan 13, PLEASE DO NOT SCHEDULE ROCKHURST other than as a pre-season game. Of all the other NCAA Division 1 Jesuit schools, we are obligated to play a division II program? Let Rockhurst play Spring Hill or LeMoyne if they want a competitive game.

Billboy1 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No from a basketball standpoint it is not needed. Hope this is a 2 for one. The schedule needs to be upgraded more than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
