Okay, as currently configured, the rest of the team have not played but 2 games together against poor competition. I kind of think getting the 2 players back would be a huge boost, both motionally and level of talent now going 9 deep, rather than 7. RA is currently our 8th and Coach has shown little confidence in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFord and TRavs Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Slu has played two greater teams than VT so VT might be rusty in the beginning. We can take advantage of that and make them scared to rebound like last time. Rockhurst would beat citadel anytime. This defensive team reminds me of Jett and Evans senior year. If our offense clicks, we can win. Team leaders this game will be french Bess and Goodwin. Johnson will hit his threes, foreman will have his best game yet, roby will perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the 2 extra quality players, VT will likely run us ragged. With them, 9 to 10 deep ...... they probably can't. Would love to have Bishop for his ball handling.

I have my moments Quality is Job1, and indeed anything is possible. I was looking at the Teamrankings analysis for tonight and I think we can do it. We will have to play all out defense tonight to screw up their game but I think we may be able to pull it after all. This is not certain of course, but it is possible, we can win this game.

At the minimum SLU has to put out a press release exonerating the players if that is the case. My damn complaint is why SLU is taking the full 60 days allowed for the investigation. It has been over 50 days since the letter was released regarding the matter by SLU's President. Why drag this to the last day? This highly embarrassing episode just needs to be put in the rear view mirror as quietly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Wherever they may have been, we still won the game. We almost fouled out of the game but won it. No Psimitris, no Welmer in play, only the 8 guys. Great game, great show of strength by our team. I agree it will be better after Bishop and Henriquez rejoin, but they are good as is.

cheeseman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 If we have to play with 8 players and after awhile 9 once Welmer can play we will run out of gas before the year ends. We lived through that when Crews had his last good year here. We need another guard and shooter big time to get through the year. We need a resolution this matter sooner rather than later.

SouthSide_Billiken Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Big time statement on national TV. The fact we did that with 8 scholarship players available is even more impressive. We are good now, and we are only going to get better. That grit shown in practice carried over to the bright lights of MSG. We showed great purpose and competitiveness all night. It feels good to be a Billiken fan tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Do not go crazy about this almaman but the last I read about title IX indicates they have changed the regs and the process can take more than 60 days. Also, the process does not start until the full investigation by the police is finished. We may wait for a while waiting for the wheels to turn.
