slu72 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 To Travis Ford: We are not worthy. This is mostly his doing as he has kept these guys focused when nukes were going off all around them. Great win, Billikens! You make us proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 That was a Tremendous Win for the Billikens, playing only 7 players, only 6 playing significant minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierBilliken Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'm a dreamer. I know. But, if we win the next four games, which is very possible, we could be in third place going into the A10 tournament. Davidson would have to lose tonight, and they still have to play St. Bonny and Rhode Island, which they would have to lose as well, which is very possible. If we just win one of the A10 Tournament games, we really could make the NCAA Tournament with an at large bid. We would have beat Virginia Tech, and St. Bonaventure in this scenario, and finished well. Dreaming, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richmond announcers, not that bad overall, were beside themselves re the goaltending call. Of course, nary a word was uttered by them re the clear body foul no call against Bess.

Travis Ford has done a tremendous job as SLU Coach, against all odds. He has done a remarkable job of changing the systems on the fly, with only 8 players for 26 games, and now 7 players for the 27th game. That SLU is 15-12, 8-6, in sole possession of 4th Place, given the roadblocks placed in front of the team is truly remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the Win today, SLU's RPI is 127, with 126 In Game RPI. CBI would be available, but I doubt SLU participates in the CBI this year. kshoe likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'd also like to send a shout out to CTF, his staff, and our Billiken team. You guys have sooooo much heart. Your tenacity against big odds shows a really never say die attitude! TRN likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty surprised it was the latter. I know Richmond’s overall record isn’t good, but they’ve been much better in conference play. Given everything that has happened within the program, that’s about as proud as I’ve been about a win that I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If we go undefeated the rest of the way, we would have a RPI around 99. Go 3-1, we have a RPI around 113. The lowest at large sead in the NIT las season was Colorado at 101. The lowest ever under the current set up, I think was Iowa at 125 in 2012. The lowest at large team any other season under the current set up was Washington at 96 in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Sorry guys we went to a fundraiser tonight for an organization that deals with autistic kids. Very nice time was had by all, but I missed the game. And apparently I missed a hell of a game. I am very happy they managed to beat Richmond, and even happier that we are in 4th place uncontested. Now we need to deal with Dayton and let's hope for a replay of tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 -I had an event tonight, too, left it early as I had set the dvr and watched the game, wow, great win, for those saying COY for TFord, AMEN, great point by the announcers saying this was not the style of play TFord wanted to play but as he lost players he adjusted how we play, well done, HF must like playing the Spiders and with his passing and Gordon's passing (which might be his best asset) and DJF, our interior next season could be very, very nice -- just a very nice win for the team, I hope they celebrate responsibly and kick the crap out of SVU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
