slu72 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Way to go TL. Too bad KL didn't start his scoring splurge just a little earlier in the year or he would have made it as well. Although, based on his excellent defensive play, still can't see why he didn't make it. But we know what a lot of others don't. Can you imagine these two when they're Juniors??????

bluecrewprez Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 ...let alone what they're both going to be like after a summer of developing and working with the coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Sight unseen, it's hard to believe that Guards from Steven Austin, Evansville, E. Washington and Vermont could be better than Kevin Lisch! Way to go Tommie, sorry you got screwed Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 bauman, can you imagine how difficult it was for these voters to just mark tommie down? it would have been like fonzie on the old happy days shows admitting he was wwwwwwwwwrong. i'm taking bets right now that not one single preseason rag magazine next fall will rank us as the team to beat in the a-10.

AGB91 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I SAW THE GUARD FROM EVANSVILLE AT THE MVC TOURNAMENT AND HE IS IN NO WAY BETTER THEN LISCH. NEAR THE END OF THE GAME ON FRIDAY HE WAS TAKEN OUT WHEN THE ACES WERE ON DEFENSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBand Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 7, 2005 Men’s Basketball Contact: Doug McIlhagga LIDDELL IS COLLEGEINSIDER.COM FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICAN ST. LOUISâ€â€Collegeinsider.com has tabbed Saint Louis Billikens freshman guard Tommie Liddell (East St. Louis, Ill. / Hargrave Military Acad.) for its 2005-06 Freshman All-America Team. Liddell yesterday was named Atlantic 10 Conference Rookie of the Year and selected to the A-10 All-Rookie Team. “I’m truly proud of what Tommie and his teammates have accomplished this season,†Billikens head coach Brad Soderberg said. “Although we’re not done playing yet, these kids finished tied for third in the A-10 when the preseason poll had us 13th. One thing we certainly have learned is that the more Tommie has his hands on the ball, the better we play.†A six-time recipient of the A-10 Rookie of the Week award, THE 6-foot-4 Liddell tops the Bills in assists with 76 and steals with 28. He is third on the club in scoring at 10.5 points per game and second in blocked shots with 18. He ranks ninth in the A-10 in rebounding at 7.0 rpg and has recorded five double-doubles, which ties junior center Ian Vouyoukas for the team lead. He ranks in the top 10 on the Billikens’ all-time freshman lists in scoring, rebounding, assists, blocks and steals. In its first season as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference, Saint Louis (16-12 overall, 10-6 A-10) finished tied for third with La Salle, but will be the No. 4 seed in the 2006 A-10 Tournament as a result of Saturday’s loss to the Explorers. The Billikens will open play in the quarterfinal round at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati on Thu., Mar. 9, at 1 p.m. (CT). SLU will face the winner of the first-round game between Saint Joseph’s and Dayton. Liddell is the Billikens’ first freshman All-American since Larry Hughes was the 1997-98 consensus national Freshman of the Year. Rather than designate first, second and third teams along with honorable mention, collegeinsider.com lists its top 25 freshmen. The list follows: 2005-06 Collegeinsider.com Freshman All-Americans Josh Alexander, G, Stephen F. Austin Mario Chalmers, G, Kansas Wilson Chandler, F, DePaul Jeremy Chappell , G, Robert Morris Devan Downey, G, Cincinnati Bobby Frasor, G, North Carolina Jamont Gordon, G, Mississippi State Tyler Hansbrough, F/C, North Carolina Jason Holsinger, G, Evansville J.R. Inman, F, Rutgers Juwann James, F, James Madison Curtis Jerrells, G, Baylor Brandon Johnson, G, San Diego Tommie Liddell, G, Saint Louis Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, F, UCLA Tasmin Mitchell, F, LSU Tyrese Rice, G, Boston College Brandon Rush, F, Kansas Diamon Simpson, F, St. Mary's Rodney Stuckey, G, Eastern Washington Tyrus Thomas, F, LSU Mike Trimboli, G, Vermont A.D.

SLUDrew Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Its nice to see that they didn't just take the McDonald's All-Americans from last year and populate a fresman All-American list with their names. It seems these guys really did their homework in creating this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecrewprez Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 This may be a dumb inference, but does anyone know how many of those are the Rookie of the Year for their conference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I disagree to an extent. While we may not be "the team team to beat" i.e. preseason #1, i think we are going to get some big respect next year. When have we ever had such a returning team? Two kids on the all rookie team and a first team all conference. Losing one shooter and a bench warmer. To be honest, we have not deserved any preseason hype since Hughes left, but this year we have national accolades to go along with the players. I would bet you that we get preseason top 4 in the a-10. If we win the conference tourney, or run deep in the NIT, i would say 2 or maybe even 1. 1 is a stretch, but you get the gist...

Not sure other than Penn St if there was a player of the year in decent conference not on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
