billikenbill Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Drake holds on. Can Stetson get their first ever NCAA bid? Quote
cheeseman Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Has anybody gone to ISU fan board to hear what they are saying or are they quiet? Quote

I watched Stetson play Chicago State on the same floor 6-7 weeks ago and there were about 100 people in the stands and Chi. State beat them for the second time this season. What a contrast between then and now with a full house, a good-looking team, and a court storming. Quote

Evening news isn’t likely to be the place to have the news first. If SLU is trying to control things and announce it when they want, which according to the Post-Dispatch may be Monday, Frank Cusumano will likely play along and not report anything. It would be a national college basketball reporter who would report the news if anything broke tonight. TheBand 1 Quote

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Just now, Lord Elrond said: Is that because Chris May believes dragging things out makes them easier on people? It’s because Chris May can’t deal with the look of him not being in control, and he seemingly views the media reporting something before SLU announces it as evidence that he isn’t in control. Examples: 1) when Ford was hired, it was reported by a bunch of basketball reporters. SLU denied it for 1-2 days until they officially announced the hire. Sure, maybe there were final contractual provisions to complete, but this looked to go beyond that. 2) Crews was fired right after his last game ended. I saw something on Twitter with the report, and texted a friend who was in or near the interview room at the game. He ran it by someone at SLU…they denied it. 15-20 minutes later, Crews was talking about his career being over in the post-game press conference. TheBand 1 Quote

slufan13 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Trilly said this morning that his source said it still may happen today or it'll be tomorrow Quote
3star_recruit Posted March 10 Posted March 10 It's standard operating procedure for social media to announce a a firing days before the actual firing. That's literally how Trilly Donovan got his reputation. brianstl 1 Quote
