This is looks really tough. First of all look at their coach. A local Wisconsinite who went to UW-Stevens Point. Been around Wi and must have a good idea of the system of basketball. Also his coaching record looks really impressive. Assistant Head coach for WI when they made it to the final four, and more, WI head coach for a year? NCAA 1st round. dont remeber that but hes been around.
Hes also played basketball for UW stevens point, im not sure but hasnt someone on this board played for UWSP. (Minor point)
Home crowd atmosphere. Averaging 7000 people in the last two games at home. According to their stats. The Panthers are their last game before a road game at Gonzaga. This will be the first time our guys will be with out the home team cheering for them. Additionally, the Billikens are tough to beat at home with a record of 116-41 (.739) in nine seasons. Take a look slubillikens.collegesports.com/school-bio/stlo-facilities-mbaskbl.html
Positives-
They are 1-4. Losing to teams who do not seem like they are good but those teams St Louis lost to all have winning records. Losing to Eastern Michigan (3-1), Oral Roberts (4-0) Oral roberts who beat Loy Chi, and Hawaii (4-0)
St Louis's only win this year comes from Troy. Troy. Troy has won 1 game this year against yup you guessed it Piedmont. Piedmont. Where do people come up with these names.
We are inbetween two big teams. After Hawaii and right before Gonzaga. If i was them i would most likly spend most of my practice time thinking about Gonzaga. possible over look.
The Players.
00 Dwayne Polk G 5-9 160 FR St. Louis, Mo. (Vashon)

3 Danny Brown G 6-4 200 FR Houston, Texas (Alief Elsik)
10 Peyton Jacks G 6-0 175 FR Dallas, Texas (Jesuit Prep)
11 Darren Clarke G 6-4 180 SO Minnetonka, Minn.
(Hopkins)
15 Ian Vouyoukas C/F 6-10 270 SO Athens, Greece
20 Anthony Drejaj G 6-2 205 JR West Orange, N.J. (Seton Hall Prep)
21 Reggie Bryant G 6-2 205 SR Baltimore, Md. (Villanova)
23 Justin Johnson F 6-8 230 SO Merrillville, Ind.

30 Izik Ohanon F 6-9 220 SR Jerusalem, Israel
32 Luke Meyer G 6-5 200 FR Washington, Mo. (St. Francis Borgia)

40 Ian Mooney G 6-2 190 SO Austin, Texas (St. Michael's Academy)
44 Bryce Husak C 7-0 260 RS FR Mt. Vernon, Iowa (Mt. Vernon)
On Paper we are statistically shotting better with more points. Bryant and Ohanon averaging (b 14.2 and Ohanon 13)
The Panthers have McCants, Tucker, and Tigert who are shooting 10 plus points. On a good night we can have 4 players shoot in the doubles. But we will have to see. Hopefully McCants will have an on day. But like i said before the panthers have to go St louis with out their klotsche Krazies for the first time this year.
