wgstl Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 3 minutes ago, BANGheGOTit said: I said a “competitive” D1 team. I didn’t say Ford let all-conference players walk, I’m just saying he doesn’t use his bench and some of those players move on. Did Jimmy Bell Jr go for grades? Did he want more playing time? I’m not going to spend hours trying to look up why someone left, but even if someone doesn’t go on to score 14 points a night doesn’t mean I couldn’t put a roster together and let a quality good D1 coach direct them to be a competitive team—instead of never seeing action on the SLU floor. Love him or hate him, Carte’are Gordon has skill, KC Hankton, Jimmy Bell, Demarius Jacobs, Phillip Russell, Jordan Nesbitt, Markhi Strickland…some of these guys could have been handled better to get more out of them. They may not be a top 200 NET team as a collective group, but we saw last night what a sub 200 net team can do against the #2 team in the A10. I guess I don't understand your point. All I see is the the players who left would field a team ranked worse than those that stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume there must be some pressure placed on these athletes to show up. If there is that pressure why can't the coaches pressure them to stay to the end. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see is the the players who left would field a team ranked worse than those that stayed. Simple point is Travis doesn’t use his complete roster. I get the fact that your top players get most minutes, but when you run the same people out there that are hurt, ineffective, or just plain bad at times…and you publicly say you won’t hesitate to put player X in the game, that player Y is earning time—SHOW IT. Put them in and don’t pull them after the first mistake. I swear up until the last couple games when (in my opinion, Travis must have realized he needed anyone with intensity) TJH could score 30 and make a couple mistakes and ford would pull him.

Honestly I don’t expect everyone to get minutes…just doesn’t happen that way, but unless grades or some personal issues were part of Russel going to SEMO, I would think 17-19ppg and OVC honors would play at SLU.

Maybe if some other people would actually be vocal we wouldn’t be in the midst of one tournament in seven years. Go ahead and settle for mediocrity just change the name of the school to Evansville.

The amount of money SLU spends to be struggling with this horrible Archie miller team is unacceptable. 200+ NET teams should be getting handled and destroyed. We lost to VCU. We lost the big game. D2 level $&#@ here. F that. 2.4 million dollars for 1 tourney in 6 years is unacceptable. This team is never going to get an at-large bid under Ford. We may win the conference tournament. It may happen. It doesn't change the chronic lacklustre performance of this program. On your logic we should go D2 and dominate every year. What a great win. Have grandma knit the boys a $&#@ing sweater. To what am I supposed to be looking? FYI- During my Senior year at SLU there was serious concern SLU was going to drop out of Division 1. Quite simply, I would not have picked SLU had SLU not been in Division 1. So no, you could not be farther off base, as in 180 degrees off.

Do you hold Travis Ford responsible for the team not being in the NCAA Tournament in 2020, when the NCAA Tournament was not held due to Covid? Just checking. This goes for all factionistas on this board who keep claiming 7 years. Are you (plural) aware of the defense of impossibility of performance?

It happens at every school that has one sport that carries the financial weight. They are afforded things their athletic peers just don’t get and of course that leads to jealousy. Now to say that basketball pays all the athletic bills is way off. They barely pay for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 2 digging out of that former coach's mess and the year when there was no tournament to play. So that's NCAA, NIT, NIT, and this year. majerus mojo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
