Pistol Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Oh nice. Peel is a fun place. Used to have a great tap lineup but now I think they brew their own beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Peel has some different pizza toppings. I will say their crust is probably the best tasting pizza crust I've ever had. We go fairly often to the peel in O'Fallon Illinois. If nothing else go for dessert some night and get a s'mores pizza. Awesome. Their self brewed beers are good. Nothing special though imo.

Taj79 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think the most amazing thing in general about the team is that this will be their 40th game of the season. FORTY! Adman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I asked in the women's thread whether either the men's or the women's team had ever played 40 games before. I didn't get an answer but I'm inclined to doubt it.

Adman Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 What a great day to be at the WNIT game and pre-party: great achievement by the women’s team, and the officially announced Josh Schertz hire. Things are looking up Billiken fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NC State was to beat Purdue, they would hold the all-time record for games played in a season at 42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get an answer but I'm inclined to doubt it. Based on info at Sports Reference and my doing some math: Most games in a season for the women's team prior to this one was last season (2022-23) when they played 35 games and went 17-18. They also played 34 games in both 2015-16 (26-8 overall) and 2016-17 (25-9 overall). https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/saint-louis/women/ Most games in a season for the men's team is 37 in 1988-89 when Grawer led them to the NIT finals and a 27-10 overall record. They played 36 in both 2009-10 (Majerus CBI finals year 23-13 overall) and 2018-19 (Ford's A10 tourney championship 23-13 overall). https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/saint-louis/men/ Without looking it up I would've guess CBI finals year as the most, but I forgot they lost their 1st game of the A10 tournament that year.

White Pelican Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The other cool thing about the winning streak in the tourney, they converted a losing season into a 22-18 winning season. almaman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the aesthetics that made last season kind of a bummer. They rallied from being 6-16 to even it up at 17-17, but dropping the NCAA game made it 17-18 overall. I think a similar stat was shared previous & I'm admittedly cherry picking dates here. From February 22 - end of season during Tillett's 2 years at SLU the team is 16-2 with the only losses being to Tennessee in the NCAAs last year and Rhode Island in the A10 tournament this year.
