Official beat Billikin thread

Re: Official beat Billiken thread

That was so much fun! So loud! Let's do it again!!

-----------------
Go RAMS!
Beat Billikens!!
 
Championship Banner or Go home empty handed. GO RAMS!!! Finish the year with a win on the road!!
 
Yeah a CBI championship banner would be pretty embarrassing. Let's not do that.

Winning this thing is very far from sure as well. We have to prove that we can get the road monkey off of our backs which is why I'm kinda glad we're forced to earn it on the road. Hopefully we can pull it out.

If VCU wins the CBI and they give the Rams a banner it would be wrong not to take it. As long its not displayed in Siegel Center or something like a Final Four banner we're good. :lol:

Of course first and foremost the Rams must win before any discussion of championship banners though.
 
Exactly. This is all about getting experience for our young guys and defining roles for next year (Jamie taking over the post with Larry leaving, Darius getting pg experience, Troy getting into the rhythm of playing the 2 in real game situations etc.).

I hope no one starts bragging that we won the CBI like it's some kind of big deal. We get valuable experience and the opportunity to see our team play 3 more home games. That itself was enough.
 
Maybe we'll get a home and home deal with St. Louis out of this though.

I think that's a great idea for the AD if possible. They'll be tough in the next couple of years for sure. The St. Mary's of the Midwest, they got their Aussies.

those two reminded me a bit of the 'Hanson Brothers' of basketball, but instead of the Buddy Holly glasses they have the moppy curls...

It wouldnt be embarrassing I'm pretty sure ODU has one for their CIT championship and I bet they don't care.
 
No, they don't and rightfully so. They have one banner with a list of their postseason appearances and how far they went, the CIT and CBI are listed there, that's all.
 
Good game last night - - had to watch the 2nd half on TV. HDNet's coverage is better than some of the sports channels and their HD is definitely better than MASN or Comcast. The one thing we haven't improved yet is that late in games we don't manage possessions well...still too many bad shots early in the shot clock IMO. The announcers on a couple of games have called it out. I hope that's one thing that we work on for next year - - playing more deliberately with leads and down the stretch of games. To me that could be the difference in a 1st place and 4th place finish.

I wasn't impressed at all with SLU...not a lot of athletes on that team for a mighty A-10 squad. The Cassity kid makes me laugh - - sort of a goofy. We'll take this Wednesday.

althought the CIT and CBI are a far cry from the NCAA, you gotta think the experience ODU gained in the CIT last year helped them beat us in the CAA championships and beat ND in the first round of the NCAA this year, hopefully we bring this experience with us into next year with a great group of returning starters
