O.T. Pepperdine and Lorenzo on to Final Four CBI

[BLIKNS]

Well that's something

[billikenfan05]

This makes 4 threads on the front page about a former Billiken coach. That’s something.

I didn’t even know they were doing the CBI this year.

I will say, it would make sense for teams that did not get to play good chunks of their schedule. Think of these less as postseason play and more of an MTE.

Modified version of the CBI this year. 8 teams only and no best of three series in the final.

I mean this is how I think of the NIT, too. People want to get their panties in a bunch over losing a NIT game, but I am totally fine not hanging a “2021 69th Best Team” banner at Chaifetz 

[almaman]

there may be such a banner @ those covid infested spring  breaks down south.

Did this just happen? I googled it and found nothing.

I was not much aware of Ekker's post SLU career moves. Would have thought he be coaching at some nowheresville community college or selling Kias at a dealership in Ocala, Florida. Quite the contrary. Reading some of the clippings Ekker had a pretty active post-SLU basketball career. Coached at several Continental and USBL clubs. Was a advisor and assistant coach with the Magic.  Opened a basketball school with branches in China. Also wrote several books on his coaching philosphy.

In fairness to Ekker, I wonder if he got anything in the way of administrative support.

This was a joke.  If I'd have told it it would've caused much pearl clutching and consternation.....

Wonder if the coach promised a top 100 program?

[Bay Area Billiken]

The CBI is a start at program building.  See SLU and VCU 2010.

The last time Romar took Pepperdine to a tournament he got plucked out of there by an elite midwestern outfit.
