SLU_Nick Posted April 14 Watching these games makes me realize that I completely overlooked how underrated Jake Barnett was for us. He made some big plays in important games for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grandy was bad though, relative to that team of course. Jake could play a little bit. I think we had higher expectations for him after he filled it up at Toledo before he got here - so he became a scapegoat since he didn't meet expectations. 3 slufanskip, billiken_roy and almaman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake would've made it a lot easier if he had shot the ball at even an average clip. Seems like a great kid and hard worker. He turned into a solid defender as well. But we definitely could have used an upgrade at his spot, at least Senior year. He did fine in his more-limited role Junior year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thetorch Posted April 14 If Barnett had been our 8th man we are probably an elite eight team. That was his best role. As our 5th best player his talent was a Stark contrast to our top 4. 2 Zink and billiken_roy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remekun was also terrific as a backup big. That Oregon game is truly a shame. 2 tarheelbilliken and SLU_Nick reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They shot 73% from deep. I think I had successfully wiped that game from my mind. Still haven't seen the TV broadcast from that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Oregon team might have been the most underseeded team of all time. Or Louisville in 2014. Take your pick. smh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay Area Billiken Posted April 14 Oregon was greatly underseeded in '13 to fill seats in San Jose. Regrettably, that very good SLU team played poorly that afternoon, and Oregon was on fire. SLU probably wins that game 6 times out of 10, but not that day. 1 AGB91 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he finds it, he can message me and I can get him an address to send it to (preferably a copy, but no worries either way I can send it back if need be) so I can digitize it. This process will take some time. Not the digitizing itself, just me getting to my mailbox, digging up a decent vcr, and finding the anticipated 5 hours or so. If I could get it in my mailbox by the 8th of May I could probably have it done in under a week. After that I don't know when my next window of opportunity will be but happy to help. Edit: Actually, might take a bit longer because I forgot I very well might not be able to just run out and buy a vcr from the local resell shop at that time due to COVID19. I would get it done though, eventually. Just may need to order one and then wait for my next chance to work on it.

Ripping it has been futile Yeah I don't know about Zoom video sharing. I have a framemeister so I can record to digital from most any source. But I don't have a vcr any more but would love to get one again and this would be more than enough excuse for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not too worried about coming up with a machine. It's the tapes that are the tricky part. Id just love to see that Illini game in the dome again or any number of old games from the vcr era. But alas, it's not likely to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
