CBFan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The season is over I think and I want to say to those departing seniors thank you for the fun seasons and being part of the rebuild of the program. I will be purchasing 2 extra seats next season and will distribute those seats located at 101 to friends family members, and Billiken.com posters that do not mind sitting next to my wife and I. Be well all posters and wait until next year. RiseOfTheBillikens and JettFlight5 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I’ll be surprised if we take the NIT, broadcasters were talking about earlier and with players not seen their families because of covid for such a long time most teams will probably bow out.

Isn’t this SLU’s first back to back days? Unfortunately got covid and I, relatively young, have had tightness of breath for a month+. This year absolutely sucks, and it all started with a Florida player being put in a medically induced coma because of the virus causing heart problems.

wgstl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Any other year I would’ve turned this game off but I don’t wanna miss a second of our last minutes left with these seniors Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I’d go to the NIT but play returning players only. MusicCityBilliken and CBFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad post. You don't want to play? Give up, go home, stay there. Great players.. they play. I remember the naysayers talking trash about the CBI. That team wanted to play and we had a great time. You either want to play or you don't. Non-players should sit at home and leave the players to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 20-22 NCAA at large bids that are not in the Top 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Over these last years if French had developed a 10 to 15 foot jump shot, Osunniyi would have had to come out and cover him. Perfect example of French not growing his game. Now here comes Jimmy Bell. Think he’ll be any better going forward?

Taj79 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I don’t think Ford was outclassed in the game. I think he was outclassed in the pregame. Just what was the game plan? Go at Osunniyi? Get him in foul trouble? Well if that wasn’t it what was it? Bills71 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-players should sit at home and leave the players to compete. We clearly don’t have great players, and having great players is more reason not to play in the NIT. It’s not competition playing in a second rate tournament against other sub par teams. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
