cgeldmacher Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Rothstein has us at #26. These early rankings have to be good for Ford recruiting transfers. Come play for a team that is expected to be a top team next season. NextYearBill, A10Ref, Zink and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Every year we get mentioned as a preseason top 25. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I remember that one ranking last year that had us as 9th. How'd that turn out?

How'd that turn out? edit thought you we're referring to my favorite Lindys cover that had us #9...... ill leave this here anyway The 2012–13 Saint Louis Billikens men's basketball team represented Saint Louis University in the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. they finished the season 28–7, 13–3 in A-10 play to win the regular season conference championship. They were also champions of the Atlantic 10 Tournament, defeating VCU in the championship game, to earn the conference's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Tournament where they defeated New Mexico State in the second round before losing in the third round to Oregon. FINAL AP AND COACHES RANK = #16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 What does this mean exactly? Not like in winnings but is this saying SLU is up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuiltFordBills Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I believe he's saying that with SLU's roster for next year he's interested in betting on them at 200 to 1 to win a national title next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniceMenace Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Way too early hype. Hard to say if Perk will return to form or how soon, complex injury that's more than ACL...that being said, last season teams could focus on stopping Jimmerson, now they'll have to figure out how to defend triple threats, Perk, Parker and Jimmer. thatskablamo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a law firm. Agree that we need to just take it a game at a time with Perkins and let his body and his mental approach to the game slowly get back to where he was. Definitely not an overnight thing - the speed of the game will get there over time - this shouldn’t be rushed by the coaching or athletic training staff.

If he doesn't score 30+ in his first game back it'll just prove how bad a coach Ford is and that his player development sucks A10Ref and NoCoBillsFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It is just early April and the expectations of what Perkins will do right from the moment he gets on the court are soaring. I wonder what they will be like by October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I still think we have a shot @ being something that could make it to the dance. Perkins, Gibby, Okroro, & Thatch all can score so the weave should create as many opps as watching guard who may end up as D1 career leader dribble around 20 seconds then either dish to the above, shoot or get lost in the trees. Newcomers seem @ least as good as departed not counting Yuri bigcount4surebuutt.......:) I love the assist thing so much that I was kind of more into that sometimes than actual team success He's gone but I'm excited 2 c team without him. This will be a true test of "is he a good gameday coach" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Trying to keep my expectations lower this year... 3 years ago -- COVID wiped everything 2 years ago -- NIT (the one that burns the most) 1 year ago -- NIT (after losing 17 ppg early in the year) I think this could be a tournament team as well, but not super sure of that.

cheeseman Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Have I missed something - did we sign a pg or two? Until that matter is resolved all bets are off in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
