So its taken a decade for VCU to degrade to be mediocre at worst...and a few years for St louis to become one of the best non power conference teams? Mason cant learn its lesson about coaching can it?
I don’t think folks remember how bad St Louis used to be not too long ago. The turnaround Ford put together is amazing. We are in a better position now than St Louis was when they made their change. Every single year they’ve improved their conference record under Ford, and now he’s got them in a position to win the league and probably snag a top 25. And I think we all know Ford isn’t the best in game coach, but look at what recruiting can do for you.
And and he’s arguably had more injuries to deal with than Paulsen and only one uses the excuse so frequently. Still remember when they had two conference wins and one was against us at the Pat Dome
You mean cheating. Ford is greasy AF ... if that’s what you want, fine, just know what you’re getting into. He learned from the best at Kentucky.
he was in a free throw switching scandal (which happens regularly) in the 90s playing for Pitino. BIG WHOOPDY DO. He also had 4 players involved in sexual assault scandal a couple years ago.... That also unfortunately happens. Jim is just talking out of his booty Okie St scandal happened after Ford was fired but I am sure some conspiracy theory Jim has is better than the FBI probe. Some people get jealous of coaches they fantasize actually landing good recruits for their schools.
Richmond is going to have a huge feather in its cap with the double digit win over Kentucky AT Kentucky if we have the NCAA tournament this season... but that's also if Richmond plays well and has a good season

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein · 39m Saint Louis' Yuri Collins now has 29 assists to just three turnovers this season. An unsung presence for the Billikens. Best team in the Atlantic 10.
Season is going great for us so far -- exceeding all expectations 1. Didn't get decimated by Maryland 2. Winning record 3. undefeated in December
Tyler Burton will give us nightmares the next 3 years... wish we had a sophomore that scared opposing fans
