Duquesne closing thoughts

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

First off, a short apology on not having any player quotes in this morning’s game story. This happens when Majerus keeps the team in the room for a long time after a game. He was in there with them for…

SLU hates St. Bonaventure

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I quit.

I know the A-10 is unpredictable, but the SLU-St. Bonaventure game on Saturday should have been the most predictable game of the weekend. (Though, as I think I warned in an earlier post, SLU needed to take care of…

SLU loves Philly

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

My favorite place in the A-10 is probably St. Joseph’s. It’s a great place to watch a game, a great atmosphere. Everyone is close, the fans are noisy yet, I think, courteous. I’ve figured out where the media parking is and…

Fordham follow

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

For those of you who might have been listening to the Fordham radio broadcast — and I’m pretty sure there’s a fairly small overlap, if any, between people who read this blog and people who were listening to WFUV 90.7…

Richmond in review

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Late in the second half of the SLU-Richmond game, some of the lights went out in the Robins Center at Richmond and John O’Connor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch turned to me and said, “They forgot to pay the bill.” Actually,…

A new AD, an old loss

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

So the day for me started with learning my flight to Columbus — it’s cheaper than flying to Dayton, there are more options and the drive isn’t that bad – had been cancelled and I was going to have to connect…

La Salle in review

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

PHILADELPHIA-ATLANTA-ST. LOUIS — I’m working my way home from Philly as I write and compile this, so this will have a touch of Americana to it.

La Salle is the poor sister of Philadelphia basketball and, with Temple and St. Joe’s…

SLU: Expect the unexpected

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Had you told me SLU would be 1-2 after three games, I’d have probably said they beat George Washington and then lost to Dayton and Rhody. But no. And think how close they came to being 2-1.

A few Thursday night…

Here comes Rhode Island

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

If there was good news for SLU in Wednesday’s A-10 results it was that the home court seemed to be worth something. Four of the five home teams won, with UMass’ upset win at Dayton the only exception. Xavier got…

Points per possession revisited, with other stats

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Many of you may recall that Brad Soderberg loved the stat of points per possession. He thought, and I can’t argue it, that it was far more relevant than a team’s points allowed, because so much of that depended on…
