SLU-St. Ambrose afterthoughts

Tom Timmermann — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:52:48 +0000

The list of things you could come away with feeling good about from the SLU-St. Ambrose seems pretty limited. Jeff Reid played an excellent 12 minutes. Christian Salecich and Justin Jordan hit some nice threes. Kwamain Mitchell had 23 points. SLU held St. Ambrose…

Conklin update: They’re not sure yet

Tom Timmermann — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:57:07 +0000

I’ll have more on the St. Ambrose exhibition later — it may be one of the least convincing 14 point wins ever — but first, an update on SLU forward Brian Conklin, who was last seen hobbling out one of…

SLU-St. Ambrose exhibition notes

Tom Timmermann — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:19:09 +0000

Well, it doesn’t get much bigger in exhibition hoops than the Billikens vs. the Fighting Bees of St. Ambrose, or Davenport, Iowa.

Cory Remekun didn’t practice Thursday — I’m not sure about Friday, but on Friday morning, Rick Majerus told me Remekun…

SLU basketball on TV 15 times (and maybe two more) (updated)

Tom Timmermann — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:41:40 +0000

The A-10 TV basketball schedule is out, and SLU looks to be on TV 14 15 times this season. As always, you’ll find SLU on a few different places this season. KPLR will have five games, Charter will pick up…

Even after loss to Dayton, SLU still has a shot at top 2 spots in A-10 men’s soccer

Tom Timmermann — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:24:16 +0000

Results elsewhere in the league, notably Charlotte getting thumped by Dayton, kept SLU alive in the race to get an all-important first-round bye in the Atlantic 10 men’s soccer tournament, even though it lost 1-0 to Dayton on Sunday in…

SLU exhibition postscript

Tom Timmermann — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:15:09 +0000

People who have been to SLU’s practices this season have said that the practices are very stop and go, that with so many freshmen on the team Rick Majerus has to constantly stop what the team is doing to explain things.…

An early start for the Billikens in exhibition

Tom Timmermann — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:28:21 +0000

The SLU basketball team has had less than two weeks of practice before tonight’s exhibition game against Arkansas-Fort Smith. The school’s record on exhibition games are spotty — they don’t get listed in the media guide, for instance — so…

SLU soccer RPI at 51; big game Sunday at Dayton

Tom Timmermann — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:13:10 +0000

The latest NCAA soccer RPI has SLU at 51, which obviously isn’t going to get them an at-large bid. SLU’s only chance to get in is to get the automatic bid as conference champion. And to get that, it really…
