Also worried a little about the cumulative effect of 3 games in 5 days. Legs could be a bit heavy by Saturday. 5 minutes ago, The Wiz said: NC St and The Bills are both A rated. How tough is NC St....about the same as LSU in difficulty. I will have the Wolfpack / Bills numbers after we play Ind St. Our next 3 games (over the next 5 days) look like this....B- A A- SOS looking much better... The count down to a sweep (and an AP Poll Ranking ) begins tonight starting at 3. The Bills' game at Minnesota is Sunday night, so it's not three games in five days.

slu72 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Great save by Travis and May. Busy week and we should find out a lot about our Bills. Go to 7-0 it’s gonna be hard for the polls to keep us out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodman makes it sound as if NC STATE is trying for multiple games while in STL. I think Goodman’s tweet was sarcasm, and not suggesting that NC State is looking for multiple games in St. Louis. NC State had 2-3 games cancelled due to their own Covid stoppage and then another when Louisville cancelled their first ACC game. They haven’t played in about 2-3 weeks. I think Goodman was just commenting that they may actually play a basketball game. RUBillsFan and 3star_recruit like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If this team is as good as we all think, all 3 of these games need to be wins. I feel very confident that they will be. Also I may have gotten a longshot odds bet last month for SLU to run the table in the regular season (with a minimum games requirement which is why I have been pushing so hard for games) brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it as Goodman kind of jokingly being coy about a game that wasn't official yet, but your reading is also plausible. Either way Goodman's awkward wording does not mean that NC State will be playing multiple games in StL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compton Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I was pulling for SIUC. Can't believe the Wolfpack is coming to town. This is incredible. Huge props to Coach Ford and AD May for pulling this off on the fly. Looking forward to watching wolfman v. Wolfpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If all games hold form, out 21-22 OOC schedule looks mighty fine. Home: BC, Auburn, MW Challenge (maybe San Diego State), Minnesota(? not sure if this is a 2 yr contract) Away: NC State, Memphis I have read nothing about a visit to LSU.

Your first paragraph is right. If we are what we think we are we need to win the next three Then there will be no worry about being in both (AP and ESPN) top 25 polls. What a year to have to keep the fans out! LSU would have been a sellout as would N C St. and tonight against Ind St would probably have drawn 8500-9000. Big loss in revenue for the Ath Dept.

White Pelican Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Great news! This is a much better team than I figured on. And at home too, although with things as they are, I guess that's not as big a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A10Ref Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 huge huge huge kudos to TF and CM on putting this together. I wanna run through a wall looking at this week's games. The Billikens are on everyone's radar already, but we will be cemented as a top team shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because it's hard to fathom Crews contributing to our team's success but on this occasion, he did: https://www.si.com/college/2014/03/21/saint-louis-nc-state-ncaa-tournament In a timeout huddle 82 seconds away from the end of the season, Saint Louis coach Jim Crews called for the Diamond. He looked at forward Grandy Glaze. “Grandy, you’re on the ball,” Glaze remembered Crews saying. Then Crews looked at guard Jordair Jett. “Jordair,” Crews said, “trap it.” Wait. Crews ordered his team to run a full-court press? Do the Billikens even practice a full-court press? “Nooooooooooooo,” Glaze said Thursday night after he set down the postgame pizza he used to wash down an 83-80 overtime win. Then he laughed.

bauman Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I hope FSMW picks up the game. Danny Mac was talking about playing NC St while on the radio this morning before the word was semi-official. As of this moment , FSMW has a replay of a Cardinals game against the Brewers so it should be easy to bump that for a Billikens game against a top opponent.

Haven’t had a chance to read the article yet. At what point do they discuss the ins and outs (yup, I said it) of Grandy’s “super spreader” content, his techniques, influences?
