Better win this one because the next win won't be until a month from now. Ironically February 11 the Duke's play St. Louis there. In between a whole lot of trouble. 😫😫😫

Let this be the beginning of a Pittsburgh over Missouri sweep this week.

Is this game being streamed on A-10 network?  I don't do Facebook and on the official site that is where is states the video of the game is playing?  I want to watch it on my computer so hopefully there is a viewing option.

Travis Ford is a good coach, at least he was at UMass.  Sounds as though he has a big rebuilding job at SLU.

Dukes should win this one but no  guarantees this year. Really hard to believe how far the Billikens have fallen in the handful of years since Rick Majerus's passing. It really points up, how a great coach can impact a program. I always had great respect for the man as a coach and person. I agree that this is one of the few remaining games on the schedule where the Dukes are favorites.

St. Louis really got put in a bad spot with Crews. Crews is good at actually coaching a team, but everyone knew he would struggle to pull in talent. Because he won so many games with the Jordair Jett team, SLU felt they had to retain him. Big mistake. They should have opened up the job the spring after Rick died. Good coaches would have been lined up to take that job with what was then on the roster.
 

Can someone add the fb link to actually watch the game. Thanks

Go to the Atlantic 10 network page. http://www.atlantic10.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?&catid=0&db_oem_id=31600&utm_source=31600&utm_medium=portal&utm_campaign=trafficpattern&DB_OEM_ID=31600&_ga=1.192779624.393250288.1479766323

I tried watching and turned it off, beside the terrible play, the announcers are like junior high kids calling a game. Hey, Ray Goss may be 80 soon but he can call a game with the best of them, even now.

Really nice effort defensively in the second half. I know we've debated this a lot over the past year, but is there anyone left who doesn't think Castro is a legit A10 guard? He's so steady, which is really needed with the young guys on this team.

I know people think I piss on wins - it's really not my intention- but we only had six players score tonight.

I am certainly happy we won though.

No El D you are right, frankly the core of this team illustrates the horrific recruiting by Ferry's staff the first 3 years.  Was Nash in charge?  I don't know, but the best recruits we've gotten are certainly IMike and MLewis, followed by Sanders/Castro (given his performance this year) and T Smith - who despite his ups and downs looks like an A-10 player.  Other than that forget it.  Eric James, can't get off the bench and JRob apparently did...........oh well what's the point.

I thought Kansas City was in Kansas? If it was in Missouri wouldn't it be Missouri City?
