WUH Posted June 8 Posted June 8 IIRC, SLU announced an open scrimmage a year ago this week and held it just a few weeks later. I hope we get that again this summer. Quote
HoosierPal Posted June 29 Posted June 29 I'm not sure this was picked up anywhere, but the NCAA has voted to increase basketball schedules to 32 starting in 2026-27. The vote was a rubber-stamp move after the Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Oversight Committees voted in favor of the change back in late March. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/ncaa-set-to-allow-college-basketball-schedules-increase-to-32-game-season-beginning-in-2026-27/ https://www.si.com/college-basketball/ncaa-approves-change-college-basketball-season-schedule Quote

slu72 Posted June 30 Posted June 30 It’s easy to see why UD is so popular with MTE’s and P5’s; their fan base travels well and every home game’s a sellout. Their deal with OSU is huge. Too bad for us Mizzery doesn’t have the cojones of OSU. All our previous games vs Mizzery were well attended and generated a lot of excitement. Quote
Billikenbooster Posted June 30 Posted June 30 What we need is a state rep to do like the Louisville rep did in KY…..filibuster in the state house til Mi$$ou agrees to play us. My recollection is he held up the state funding for UK til they agreed to play. Quote

My recollection is he held up the state funding for UK til they agreed to play. We're not Louisville and Mizzou sure is hell is not UK - I don't see that happening. Both of those schools are public institutions as well, perhaps making it easier to apply pressure at the state level. A stunt like that would seem more likely between Mizzou and Mo State, but I don't see that happening either. It's just not that important. Quote
thetorch Posted June 30 Posted June 30 This fanbase needs to move past Mizzou. We are never playing them ever. We don't recruit against them. Our conferences never intersect. cheeseman 1 Quote
WUH Posted July 9 Posted July 9 The 397th best Division III team, 4-21 in 2024-2025, locked in, let's f___ing go! David King, NextYearBill, VeniceMenace and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Lord Elrond Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Not a D3 team! Play Lindenwood, or SIUE, or SEMO, or EIU, or WIU, or literally any other D1 team. Compton 1 Quote

Then with the delay of the brackets from July 14 until July 21, it was speculated that some of the P4's wanted to reshuffle the deck. Could be happening. I guess we will find out in 12 days. Quote

gobillsgo Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Season ticket holders should be given the option to opt out of any regular season non-D1 games at a pro-rated discount. I get it for exhibitions but it’s bull**** to be filling the regular season with non-D1s. TheBand, Compton, AGB91 and 2 others 5 Quote

thetorch Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Principia is a horrible option as an exhibition. They wouldn't beat most large area HS teams. We were kicked out of our pod at the Acrisure. We will probably be in the Minnesota, Stanford pod, but there is a chance we get kicked down even lower to one of the mid major ones. Even if we get in the better pod with Minny and Stanford this will mean ZERO Quad 1 games on our schedule. Unacceptable. Its NCAA or bust for this program and we are facing a steep uphill climb to get there. Quote

Exactly. Missouri S&T would be a better option too. They would at least make it a little competitive. WUH 1 Quote
thetorch Posted July 9 Posted July 9 We could score 200 points against Principia. You'd have a better game picking fans out of the crowd. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Principia hasn’t posted its 2025-26 roster on its website yet, but last year they had only 1 player at 6’6”, two at 6’4”, and no one else above 6’2”. We ought to out rebound this group by 40, and score over 150. What an exciting matchup for the fans. Quote

For NET purposes, the game against Principia doesn't count. You play a 300+ NET team in a Q4 game instead, and you beat them by 30, your NET could still possibly be worse. D2 and NAIA games don't count either. No, I don't like the Principia mathchup, and I didn't like the Avila or Billy Woods games last year. The year end NET listing published by the NCAA has us at 17-14 last season, prior to the NIT. We were 19-14 at that point, according to SLU accounting. The NIT loss put us at 19-15. Those two games mentioned didn't count in the NET math. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings https://slubillikens.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule Quote
