wgstl Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 One game that always stands out to me is @GMU a few years ago, won in OT. NMSU was fun too because we were in such control, and Evans couldnt miss a mid range jumper. Also New mexico on NYE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Our win at Butler the year we beat them 3 times... our group of 50 students was louder than their entire student section.

Slu let the dogs out? Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not really a specific memory but the memories I have of going to the games as a kid when they played at Kiel. I remember my friend and I would hoard those balls they threw into the crowd and then we would go back to his house and play basketball in his room. If I had to pick a specific memory, the game versus Washington/Conklin's screen. I knew then this team was going to be fun to watch, that they weren't afraid to push around a P5 school, and that this was the start of something special. I believe Washington went on to win the Pac-10 regular season that year. Beating Cinci in the conference tourney is also up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Some of mine in no particular order: Beating Kansas during the Robertson family reunion. The Washington game with Conklin's legendary pick and the 50-25 score at the half. The Louisville upset. The NIT games when AB was a junior and senior. Went to all the Kiel games with my Dad. The old place was sold out and really rocking and the Bills won them all and went to the NY finals both years. This led to us becoming season ticket holders around 1990.

slubilliken09 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The 2012 NCAA Tournament. The whole process was magical. Selection Sunday, beating Memphis and celebrating at our host bar with lots of SLU fans (I bought Earl Austin Jr. a pink lemonade, per his request), and giving Michigan State virtually all they could handle. My favorite thread of SLU tourney appearances this decade is that when we get a bid, we don't lose in the first round. Excited for this to continue tonight.

johnbj14 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The Jolly floater. (In hindsight it is my favorite GIF ever) This year's A10 tournament. JG's triple double last year Miracle in Memphis Dayton game my senior year (2018) VT last year. Most importantly: Tonight when we win.

Band Legend Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 SLU at New Mexico, March '89- down 21 at the half at the pit. If they win, I'm taking a three day trip to NYC and gigging at the garden. Epic comeback, epic trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzstldc Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 My favorites from my SLU student days were: 1) the entire Larry Hughes year and 2) during 1998-99 where we beat Kansas, Cincinnati, and Louisville at Kiel My favorite since then was the tourney weekend in Columbus in 2012 beating Memphis and almost pulling the shocker vs Mich State. It was awesome being there for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich State lost to #4 Louisville in the Sweet Sixteen. #4 Louisville beat #7 Florida (#2 Mizzou had lost to Norfolk State) in the elite eight. Majerus could've gotten us pas those teams, but probably not Anthony Davis / Kentucky. That teams especially w Majerus coaching was the best of any of the 2012-14 NCAA teams.

Spoon-Balls Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Will never forget this moment. Still get chills thinking about how foreshadowing this was, with Rick passing away months later... "He doesn't teach you about ball, he teaches you about life. He's just a great figure for the community, for the city, and he's really brough St. Louis basketball to where it is right now."

Never forget the fans cheering the arrival of the team bus singing Oh when the Saints go marching in. Brought tears to my eyes. And Conklin tearing up at the presser. I swear he knew Rick's days were numbered. But that's hindsight on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenbooster Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Game at the Arena, vs SIU. Spoon coach, the place was friggin' packed. They had to take down the tarps in the end zones of the upper deck. So freakin' loud. That was for me when I knew SLU bball was back. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniceMenace Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It’s a tie. 1 Melvin “Big Chill” Robinson being quoted in the paper on the origin of his nickname.....”’Cause I always be chillin’, “ he said. 2. Rich Grawer mic’ed up live during the NIT finals, calling Charlie Newberry a chicken. BillsBeliever and David King like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 "The Dunk" Maurice Jeffers. I'd never watched much basket ball other than the Bills and I'd never seen anything like that . Just ferocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
