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…

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…

Next up: UMass (updated with link)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I don’t know if UMass’ loss to Fordham on Thursday night was good or bad for SLU, which plays at Amherst on Sunday. Are they a beaten team that has lost five of its past seven, or an angry team…

More on GW, and around the league

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A quick look at the RPI shows that SLU fell one spot after beating George Washington. Wins at home over teams at 227 don’t do you much good, and results elsewhere, like Dayton’s loss at home, no doubt hurt. Dayton…

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,…

Polk is OK (updated)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Didn’t mean to make the type so big. Sorry.

SLU played the second half of the game without starting guard Dwayne Polk, who took a blow to the upper abdomen with three seconds to go in the first half on a…

Final Dayton thoughts

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I don’t know that the plus-minus stats mean much off this game — the final numbers in a case like this are very much a function of time on the court – but here they are, upside down:

Liddell -22

Meyer…

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.…

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…

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…
