Would like to know why Arch played Zek over Estevez or Weston.

Up 4 to down 4 in 3:45. Pathetic.

Let’s hope Hammond is the guy and the talent is upgraded significantly.

Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round

While encouraged by the effort, Zek single-handedly lost this game.

Why he is in and Weston is out is beyond me.

Everyone needs to figure it the fuck out this off season.

Archie included.

Re: 3/12 | Saint Louis | 4:30PM (ESPN+) | A-10 1st Round

What just happened before that foul is exactly why we need a true point guard. Louis is just not cutting it as a 1. Slow walk up the floor followed by a lazy and bad pass into the post. Then to top it off his transition defense looked like he got stuck in the mud leading to an easy layup. I know it...
