Our quality of opponent will be poor but our efficiency will be elite. I assume more weight will be given to quality of opponent but we'll see in a couple of weeks when the NET rankings come out.

brianstl Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Up to 16th in T-Rank. One spot behind the Illini. https://barttorvik.com/# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I am over being upset about programs like Notre Dame not playing us. We could pick up the phone right now and get Loyola to show up and play us on a date we determine at Chaifetz. Loyola is going to be a better team than Notre Dame this season. If we don’t end up scheduling another game against a good team and end up with a with a resume damaged by a crap OOC schedule, the blame belongs on Ford and the program. Can’t complain about programs avoiding good non P5 teams when you are doing the same thing. dlarry, billiken_roy and Bills71 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 great point Brian. the billikens should play the best teams that will play. if the name brands are afraid to step up the likes of loyola, or northern iowa or some other high flying mid major should be our goto instead of the likes of last night. lets work on upgrading the overall personna of this non conference schedule. 3 wins versus loyola like teams would likely do wonders to our overall rankings at the end.

If I was in that position, I would want to schedule the highest rated mid major I could. There will be more relevant data to make that decision after the first NET rankings are released than there is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that SLU is slowing playing programs like Loyola as you suggest in hopes of landing a bigger name game. The problem with that is the clock is ticking and there are multiple reasons why programs like Loyola might not be available when SLU is ready to take that plunge. We better hope the Minnesota game doesn’t get torpedoed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a ton of talent, it was just a matter of him not being consistent game to game last year but so far this year he’s been great every game. I believe Bess mentioned on the House that Rick Built pod that he thought Jacobs was the 2nd most talented player on the 18-19 team.

I just don’t see it. They’re 3-0, but neither the Oregon or Wichita State win are as good as they appear. Plus they were picked 10th in the SEC, a lot more ground to make up.

I don’t know where everyone is getting this from. They’ve beaten Oral Roberts, Oregon without their starting point guard or Figueroa and a Wichita State team that fired their coach just before the season. How is any of that any more impressive than what SLU has done? And SLU was already receiving votes last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand why people are so high on Mizzou’s 3 wins. They were fine, but nothing spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBeliever!!! Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 SLU will probably be the first or second team out, Mizzou will be in the 30-35 zone where we were to start the season. If Mizzou manages to somehow beat Liberty and Illinois, then they will deserve to be ranked. They are better than I thought they’d be but SLU is a much better team. Would probably beat Mizzou by double digits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Neither in my lifetime or I'm guessing in the foreseeable future beating Ark Pine Bluff and SIUE is a feat that can't possibly be termed impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but winning by 53, shooting 65% from both the field and from 3, with your regulars barely playing in the 2nd half in 1 game, shooting 45% from the field and from 3 while winning by 37 in another, being 1st in the country in offensive efficiency, 1st in the country in effective field goal percentage, 3rd in overall field goal percentage, 4th 3 point percentage, 4th in assists, 4th in assist-turnover ratio, 9th in rebound percentage, I’d consider that pretty impressive. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
