Fellas. I'm in Dallas for the winter. I'm watching the tourney right now live on both my ESPN+ app (streaming through Amazon firestick) and on Comcast Sports+ (streaming through Fubo - which is registered to my IL address but recognizes when I'm in Texas for local channels). So... I think we're...

For what it's worth, put me down in the "weight lifting messes up your shot" camp. I was never a great shooter but I was even worse when my arms were sore.

It looked to me like Luke was subbing in for Foster not Kinzinger. Maybe I just wasn't seeing the other sub.

The article says we were picked 3rd in the conference for this year. How is that possible?

Thanks for the list guys. Gives me a start. Interesting read under any circumstances. Unfortunately all my cards are from when I was a kid so 60's & 70's so the only 3 I could possibly have are Dennis Nelson, Estus Hood, & Joe Washington. :-( Definitely a lot more pro activity than that in...

Wondering if anyone can help. I'm building a little Redbirds shrine in my office and I'm going through my old sports card collections to pick out all the Redbirds that I have cards of. The GoRedbirds website has a list of all the former (or current) pro baseball and basketball players - so...

Went to game. First half of was walking around thinking, "I've finally been cured of the need to actually go to any more basketball games. These are just no fun any more. I can't even yell and have a good time because I have no chance to ever win." Second half was fun. At least we all got to...

Typically there's been an alumni gathering at the bar just across the highway. Can't think of the name. Looks like nothing's been set up for this year. Oh well. Trying to decide whether to swing down there solo.

Tp it was blacked out because in Chicago market it was on Marquee

Wow. 3 people so far have picked over 14 conference wins? I notice none of those are actually posting an explanation as to why/how. :-)

I also went 5 - 7. I also think they likely play better on road than home. My non-scientific assessment is because these guys are almost all transfers, they don't really have a ton of familiarity with the home gym and it's not that great of an advantage. Couple that with the fact it's reasonably...

I mean "press"

I also don't think of Lamb as a "coke machine." For those that never saw him he actually brought the ball up against the breast. So offense was kind of triggered by him a lot of the times. Cornley and Watkins were definite epidomes of coke machine. Holyfield has a little more face up offense to...

Or they're the 2 with the most playing time from last year. Don't know that for a fact. I'll hang up and wait for Mel to give me the facts on PT. Honestly, I've lost track of who's on the roster and too lazy to look it up. :)

Apparently their bookie didn't watch last week's game.

Well the other angle is his desire to bring a program to "new heights." In our case, we were great in the 70's & 80's, pretty good in the 90's, and terrible since. Might be good to pitch "returning to those heights."

Someone has probably already brought this up in another thread but I haven't seen it. I'm surprised anyone would play in these pay-for tourneys any more. Wasn't the argument that you wanted your guys to keep getting playing experience? With so many guys transferring between years nowadays, I...

Mel - What is the basis of that "2nd best offense and worst defense" reference? Is it just PPG or is it Points per possession or something else. I'm assuming there's a bazillion ways to measure. Just wondering which you're using.

I watched pieces of the game myself and came away very concerned because everything I saw looked painfully identical to the high ball screen we ran. I'm glad you saw something different than that. Must have been when I was doing chores, etc.

I watched probably one of the worst half court offenses in the history of college basketball yesterday. I'm hopeful today is better.
