I just don't have a preference. I do think we beat either team tomorrow. That being said, I don't feel like Oduro can beat us himself, Burton can.

As Carter also just noted, 3 games in 3 days can wear a team down.  Especially for a team that plays 2 "bigs" over 22 minutes each

Our guys would have revenge on their mind vs Richmond. Crush the spiders.

TJ was locking Burton down last game before he suddenly and shockingly was benched for a large portion of the second half.  I don’t see any reason why he can’t frustrate Burton again tomorrow (if Rich wins)

[stmdragons]

Kim English master class. 

[brianstl]

Heck of a game.

[HoosierPal]

Don’t think Grace taking a 30 footer would be what I’d do needing a bucket with 30 sec left. 

[stmdragons]

Interesting play call out of a timeout by Richmond. 

[billikenbill]

Mason ball, up 3, with 9 to go.

[slu72]

Wouldn’t a zone work against Richmond? If we run run run we can really tire out their legs.  The zone could possibly negate Burton if we pack it in. To win any of these games we have to play great D and that worries me. We don’t have a true stopper on D. 
As for Mason Okoro and Jake have 10 fouls to give Oduro. Take him out and Mason can be beat. I said it before for us to get the trophy it’s gonna come down to Okoro and Jake to step up big.

2 terrible possessions in crunch time.

[billikenbill]

It’s Mason. As slu72 said, it’s up to Franco and Jake to carry us to the title. We’ll go as far as they can take us.

[slu72]

It’s Mason and Oduro. Mason on a roll… 7 straight. Momentum. Calling Franco and Jake time to rise. 

[HoosierPal]

7 straight W’s for the Patriots. 
English said they are 0-2 against SLU with -3 points. 

[slufan13]

Hopefully that game took a lot out of Mason. Might finally be a game where we seem fresher down the stretch 

[Lord Elrond]

I would rather have faced the Spyders, but we’ll just have to beat GM.

[TRN]

One and done for SLU it is.

[ACE]

I really would have preferred Richmond.

Should be a dandy.. Kim English certainly comes off a little pompous on those post game interviews.. not a fan.

Hate to say it slu72 but I'll be surprised if SLU pulls this off on a neutral court. They are on a roll playing with a purpose while the Bills??? I like their HC a lot better than Ford. IMHO Kim English is an up and comer!!!

[Lando Griffin]

Does the fact that this is on USA Network help or hurt the conference….

I’m worried too. But am hoping. We have more talent than GM. Do we have the desire? 

[JohnnyJumpUp]

Is the game on cable tv tomorrow?
