MBB: St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[fcnews]

A hypo question:
Which record will fall first-
53pts by Jeff Reis
22 rebounds jason White
20 assists Stacey Ross
15 blocks Roy Woods

[yjacklok]

Hard to say. Those are all impressive numbers. If any of them falls, my best guess would be the rebounding record.

[Daryl L Lloyd]

Ill go with rebounds as well.  Im not sure though, suttles came close to breaking the point record against WU a few years back, so its hard to say. 

[fcnews]

I'm going with rebounds also. Bash, Kirkpatrick or Storandt could have a dominating game against a team like Prin or GC. Storandt has already had one game of 18 this year. in this up tempo era the 20 assists could fall. The one least likely will probably be Woods 15 bkls. ( he also had 13 against WU in the same year)

I'd Like to wish all SLIAC Posters a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. To those traveling, have a safe trip. In the blink of an eye it will be the first night of conference play and all the fun it brings.

Daryl - I'd like to wish you and yours a special holiday. Pass on my good wishes to your Brother and Steve.

Whats up folks.  Greenville has had 3 games since the last time I posted on here.  I wasnt able to make it to any of the games, because 2 were at a tournament in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and the other was in Kentucky.  GC lost all three of the games.  GC lost to Taylor University, a solid squad, by 20.  Looking at the stats, GC did get consistently good games from Matt Greene, Ben Hensold, and Bryson Taylor.  GC's next game is against Wabash on Jan. 3rd.
Although it has been a tough start to the season for GC, there are some positive things happening, especially with the underclassmen.  Matt Greene, a freshman guard, has started or been the 6th man in every game this year and is averaging over 10 pts. per game and shooting nearly 50% from 3 pt. range.  Sophomore Josh Reams is averaging over 8 pts./game.  And Antonio Conquest, a freshman guard who was an all-stater last year in the state of Florida, might see some varsity action this semester.  He starred on the j.v. squad in the first semester, including a game where he scored 28 pts. against Lewis and Clark Junior College. 
Everybody have a merry Christmas.

FC: I appreciate your holiday wishes and extend the same to you.  I will be sure to pass on the good wishes, my brother and steve are doing well right now.  As for me. . . Im ready for a vacation. 

Everyone have a safe and happy holidays.

Anyone know how Fontbonne did last night in Hawaii???

Score not posted on these pages yet.

Interesting sidelite to that game  :  Dave Porter, varsity basketball coach at Lafayette HS here in St. Louis, and an old friend, has a son, Scott, on the Fontbonne team.  Lafayette HS is currently in the Merramac Tournament, the biggest boys Christmas Tourney in the area.  Went to see the Quarterfinals last night, and no Coach Porter.....   asked around, and sure enough, the Porters were in Hawaii.  Well, unfortunately for the assistant coach in charge, Lafayette got  thumped pretty good.  Ahhh Dave, I always told you that coaching was a kushy job, but I had no idea......

It looks like Fontbonne lost to cal state mont. 90-53, I saw the score posted on the school's website. 

I played against the young fontbonne team in the alumni game this year.  The team is inexperienced, however, they play hard, and they are scrappy.  This team on a given night could make some noise in the conference.

I'm really surprised that Fontbonne went all the way to Hawaii to play only one game, but that's the way it appears on Hawaii Hilo's site as well as Fontbonne's.  Originally the schedule indicated the Griffs were also to play Hilo, but it doesn't appear that game came off....

[yjacklok]

Also worth noting, regarding Fontbonne's loss in Hawaii, that Cal State Monterey Bay is a D2 program.

Happy New Year to all.

Did anyone in the SLIAC know that former Blackburn alum Jamie Young is working as a scout with the Boston Celtics coaching staff.  He played there in the mid 90's.

Really looking forward to tonite's Maryville - Wash U game.  This is Maryville's last chance to show it can play 40 minutes of quality ball against a solid D3 team.  Time to quit coming close (as they did against Hanover, Transy, and Manchester) and get over the hump.  Those at the McKendree and Mo Bap games know that they were quality wins, but it takes wins over D3 teams to earn the respect.

The DVR is set for the football game - it's gonna be a late night.

Back from the Islands:
Never Ever Fly Northwest - 35 hours from airport to airport on return. 16 in Minn. alone.
FC schedule explanation -  After the conference approved FC 2005-2006 schedule, Coach McKinney's intuition took over. Near the first week of December he made some calls and learn for sure that the Hilo Classic was not an exempt event. Best to always check yourself. Plus it meant one more day on the beach.

Cal - MB was tough! FC was tied about the 10 minute mark of the first, down 12 at half and then the legs were gone. FC's big men did a really nice job of competeing with the size of MB. They had a 6'6 guard that we could not stop.

It was a great bonding trip for this young squad and I believe after jet lag they will be ready for conference play.

Yes, Coach Porter had a great time. But was ready to return to his squad.

Good Luck to the Saints tonite.

I'm going back to bed. Later
