SShoe Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 58 minutes ago, HoosierPal said: Last season Mizzou finished 10th in the SEC, with a NET of 84. Early preseason polls have them 10th again. If we play the 84th ranked NET team at home, that would fall likely into a Q3 game. Play it on the road, and it is a Q2 game. I'd much rather play a Q2/3 game than a home Q4 game with UMKC or Evansville. Any day, any time, any location; I don't care what uniform the opponent is wearing. I was wondering about this yesterday. If there's no fans in the stadium, does it really matter if it's home or away? And if the NET rankings are still going to emphasize "road" wins, should you just play as many games on the road as you can? cgeldmacher and SLUMedBilliken15 2 Quote

I hope the NCAA has discussed this, but I wouldn't bet on it. Quote

I would rather see Illinois State, Missouri State, Murray State and Western Kentucky over some of the boring buy teams that show up. Missouri is down so I respect your opinion about a better non conference team to play like Butler that would help the strength of schedule. Happy Friday Billiken Rich 1 Quote
cgeldmacher Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 This also just made me think that if they are playing in empty arenas, the TV mics are going to pick up everything that is said. Normally, a coach can yell at the refs or his team and be confident that he's mostly drowned out by the crowd noise. This year, coaches are going to have altar how they communicate during games.

From watching MLB playoff games, there’s a lot of muting that goes on. That’s what the broadcast delays are for . There were times during MLB playoffs where all the mics would be muted for 5-10 seconds at a time. My guess is, you can expect a lot of that this season. Quote
Pistol Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 If you watched the NBA bubble games at all, the sound would drop out frequently for a couple seconds at a time. The guys in the booth have to be extra diligent when every voice can be picked up. Reinert310 1 Quote

Win all 3 and then have Ford go around to all the STL media outlets and proclaim we no longer can play Mi$$ou, we are too good for them. We need to turn the tables in this relationship and have Mizzou begging to play us. As for Depaul or any of the other regional Big East schools, they won't play SLU, even just at home. They are offered each year and don't return calls. This has been going on since those teams left CUSA. Quote
BillsBeliever!!! Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Clemson limiting fans in their 9000 capacity arena to 1860, about 20%. obviously different states, schools, cities, etc have different regulations but 20% of Chaifetz Arena is around 2120 fans. Quote
thetorch Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Utah has left the SD MTE Crossover Classic due to Covid concerns. Other teams in the event are WVU, Memphis, Texas A&M, Ohio St, Wichita St, Creighton & Dayton. Quote
AnkielBreakers Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 BREAKING: Will Wade is taking a pay cut for LSU. This marks the first time in NCAA history that a coach is officially being paid less than his players. bauman, billikenbill, billiken_roy and 4 others 7 Quote

Billikenbooster Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Why not an annual round robin at Enterprise, SLU, IL, MU, MoSt. Double headers Friday/Sun, the two winners play on Sunday. A mini NCAA. OR just a double header, rotating opponents each year. With the weekend event, the hotels/Sports Commission/restaurant folks would love it.(post Covid, of course) Quote

SLU, Mo St, SPUMAC, then let UMKC and SEMO rotate for the 4th team. Friday/Sunday or even Sat/Sun Quote

I would really like to see a border war tournament in St.Louis when Il plays MU every season. 4 teams from Illinois 4 teams from Mo. Play the First round on Friday on the annual bragging rights game day. MU vs Il, SLU vs SIUC, Mo St. vs Il state and Loyola vs SEMO. If MU is good enough and the brackets work out then MU will earn the right to play SLU on Saturday or Sunday. Quote

wgstl Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 It should be headlined with mizzou and SLU, while swopping out regional teams. Quote
cgeldmacher Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 I think a Missouri/Kansas one day extravaganza in KC would be fun with SLU, Mizzou, and Mo State on on side, and Kansas, Kansas State, and Wichita State on the other side. No conference conflicts in that one. It would make a great yearly road trip. Billiken Rich and rgbilliken 2 Quote
