Cowboy II Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 -every kid has their own reasons for why they go to, or don't go to, a school -- some of our locals want to go to schools not in StL, the goal should be to secure the border while realizing that we won't get all of them but we should get our share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But any decent big has more options than his perimeter counterpart. It's an uphill battle pulling those guys out of high school. The main reason Daron Holmes is at Dayton right now is because of Obi Toppin's success. And the main reason Obi ended up at Dayton is because he grew 3 inches after he committed.

They have lost their first two buy games to Purdue FW and LBS. If they don't beat South Dakota tonight, they might not have a chance to pick up their first win until they play Chicago St on Dec 30. Don’t sleep on the Chi-State cougars. They just beat So. Ind. by 11 on the road. They also have two 6’9 5-star twins who are suing the NCAA to become eligible. The NCAA is truly a mess.

He's a true blue Billiken fan even if he didn't attend here. Tatum wasn't even 3 when Justin quit playing for SLU. Justin was no fan of SLU when he left or much of the time he played here. I don't know about this timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jayson Tatum came here, Justin could have been the head coach right then and there. Does he have any more kids? Wake me up when he's got some more high school sophs ready to make a pit stop on the way to the NBA. Snore. Boring. Chris Mack for SLU.

Why did Jayson go and play for Coach K at Duke (irrelevant what everyone's personal opinion of him is) verses play for he who shall not be named with the Billikens. You can't seriously be asking this question.... I was at his visit through campus. I remember it being absolutely embarrassing. He made the right choice.

almaman Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 anyone that has the chance to play at Duke instead of here should of done the same thing. We were so lucky to get a year out of the Legend Bills71 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t there supposed to be some sort of gathering of students lining the quad? And we got there and no one was there? Am I remembering correctly?

Aquinas Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Just when my hopes were rising with the play of Bruce, Parker breaks his foot. He was establishing himself as a playmaker, but like Perkins, he goes down. This is a killer hit. We need a strong outside game to cover our weaknesses inside. Everything just got a lot harder.

Any hope of 20 wins just went down the tubes. Now just hoping for 12 wins and avoiding the Tuesday night pillow fight (or whatever night it is this year.) Got to roll the dice with Bruce and the Serbian Sniper and see what they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I don't see how Thames doesn't get more minutes. 5th on the team in D-PRPG, 2nd in O-rating, 2nd in eff FG, 1st in rebounds per/40, 1st in steals per/40, Fouls at a low rate, highest % around the rim, highest 2 pt FG %.

Lord Elrond Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hopefully Travis Ford can find a winning combination to use the rest of the season. Dartmouth, next up, is the only non-conference opponent ranked lower than us on kenpom rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
