For me, heading to Baltimore to see the O’s tonight and then down to Richmond to see WSoc play VCU tomorrow! You’re on a fun road trip!

SluSignGuy Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I probably just have read this message board too long, but a tweet from SLU that says "Year 1 in the Valley" made me do a double take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Ok, so win today and we are the 6 seed in the conference tournament, if Duquesne loses we are also in, lose and we still might be based on an obscure tiebreaker if Duquesne wins today. I hope I have that right, couldn’t make last nights win, I was double booked at Hermann stadium, Coach Beaty can blame my not being here on Gaebe, Larson, Puricelli, et al.

Lord Elrond Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Davidson beat Duquesne, so I think we are 6 seed in the A10 tournament regardless of what happens in the 5th set here today. OkieBilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Hey, per the A10, we own the tiebreaker over Fordham! We did NOT finish 6th, we finished 5th! Great job! We are off to the conference tournament! We get to play the number 4 seed, Davidson! Where is the tournament? Davidson! Oh well, it was going to be a tough draw anyway. We are playing with house money here, so go all out and give it a shot. Glad they made it, a good building block for the future. Play in the tournament like your hair is on fire and you have nothing to lose ladies!!!! Roll Bills!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Volleyball beat Davidson 3-1 in Belk to advance in the A10 tournament. Tough assignment next, number 1 seed Dayton, who’s 29-2 on the season, and was perfect (18-0) in A10 play. Game tomorrow, noon CST on ESPN+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenbill Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 So a 16-15 record. Doesn’t seem much better than the Miller era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it was clear we had reached Miller’s ceiling as a coach. No reason that has to be the program’s limit. Remember, due to renovation at Chaifetz Pavillion, the Billikens were not able to schedule a single home match in non-conference play this year. There are places where women’s college volleyball matches routinely draw paying crowds in the thousands, it would be nice to see if we could find a way to join them, rather than just continue to accept mediocrity. PS- I’d also point out our last year under Brad Soderberg, we were 20-13, tied for 6th in the A10, next year, first year under Rick Majerus? 16-15, tied for 9th in the A10. We didn’t have a better season under Rick Majerus until his 3rd season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame Loyola Chicago had a player miss games because, I believe, of a parent death. We could easily be looking at a multi bid A10 for the first time in a long time. I don't think it's happened since it was SLU and Dayton. Temple and Xavier put really good teams on the floor back then too. Volleyball in the A10 has really got a shot in the arm with Loyola joining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
