SLU Message Board

[Masterofreality]

Cody Ellis is the biggest flopmeister this side of Matt Howard.

The flailing arms are classic.

I was pretty indifferent to SLU as a basketball program before this thread started. After reading their message board, I hope they have fun in the A10 for the rest of their lives.

Call us back in 20 years and maybe just maybe SLU will be worthy.

Philmore neither lowered his shoulder nor extended his arm on either charge they called on him. Of course, announcers are quick to label it great defense. It's not. Falling down is not part of playing defense. If you are in a good defensive position, guard the guy. Falling down with no contact is what we blast soccer players for, but everyone thinks it makes someone a great defender in basketball.

If falling down makes you a good defender, then I am a freakin' All American in my weekly pick up games.

These people are dumb. There's a Christon thread that starts with a comlimentary post. Then there are some gems.

Pistol, got to watch him up close and I have nothing good to say about him, ya the forearm, grabbing the jersey, talks a lot on the court, he's a little piss ant wise a$$.

I think they may need a refresher on the rule, especially the LeBron comment guy. You can dribble the ball as high as you want. I'm not sure what "I fact I don't think he even pass a Welding Class" means.

Kind of an odd take on Christon. I've really never seen him talk to an opponent during a game. But when he's handing your blue-headed players their shit, I guess you will conjure up whatever unfavorable image you can.

[danaandvictory]

Christon doesn't talk to opponents because he knows he has hot dog breath and he's polite.

Jesus guys..cut them some slack. This whole relevancy thing a waaay foriegn concept to them. I think we should give them a little time to adjust to the added depth of the grown up pool.

Side note: Jodair Jett is not a handsome fellow

He's probably my favorite player from SLU, but I can't say you're wrong. He did pretty good in the Steven Jackson look-alike contest.

[ballyhoohoo]

I found it enjoying. I love good fiction.

Why is this so hard? The foul totals were SLU 30, XU 20.

In the last 1:30 of regulation and of overtime, SLU fouled more than 10 times to stop the clock while we were ahead.
Fouls on purpose to stop the clock and hope to catch up.

This is NOT rocket science people.
