Did Rob Loe bring a Brat Pack of his own to the US?

that's just a Lowe blow

Loe played mostly the West Wing.

Rumors and hopes from Saint Louis fans are that their freshman phenom, Keith Carter, will be ready to play. Rick Majerus called him the second most talented guard he's ever recruited. Carter suffered a leg injury very early in the season, it got bent the wrong way. He's from Proviso East and lives in Maywood. He was recruited by Whitesell to Loyola. Whitesell is now a SLU asst coach. Carter switched to the Billikens when Jim W. was fired by the Ramblers.

I guess now he's a rambling man.

if that were really true he'd be at loyola

Carter, like many, had no Loyolaty. If Saint Louis doesn't find a better coach for next season I think you might see KC hitting the road for more colorful destinations and buying himself a ticket to a BCS team. He'd no longer be a Whitesell guy.

wow.  payoff = worth the buildup.

That's debateable.

It reminds me of the character played by Jason Segel in "How I Met Your Mother," Marshall Eriksen who named his son

Marvin Wait-for-it Eriksen III

Whew! There for a second I thought I had stumbled across another dirty German word.

Legen mir bitte!

Alright, back to basketball. 

[agibson]

Looks like the game's _not_ going to be available in Valpo, at least not on Comcast?

Anyone know of a place that will definitely be airing it?

Or, it might be back to the old days of radio/streaming audio only.  At least I'm in the correct time zone now!

St. Louis has trouble guarding the 3....I will say Valpo by 2.

[bbtds]

This hasn't been too successful for me but Wiziwig has a link.

I hope the St Louis coaching has te poor scouting report on Valpo that Bleacher Report posted.

According to the St. Louis athletics website the game will be televised on Fox Sports Midwest:

I have Dish.  Fox Sports Midwest is channel 418.  Not sure about other providers.

Because they're running short on levity.

[valporun]

Seems to me that Bleacher Report is a site meant more for sports journalism majors to get internships. The stories are useless in my opinion.

[Pgmado]

The game is on Fox Sports Central as part of the Sports Package on Comcast Xfinity in Valparaiso.

Thanks - not in my package, unfortunately.  But, it does suggest that it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Anyone have a favorite VU-basketball friendly venue in Valparaiso?

Good point about the Bleacher Report scouting report...maybe we could get a ringer into the mess that is BR and post really off suggestions on how to beat Valpo, and email them to graduate assistants of upcoming games.

HC--when you say they have "trouble guarding the 3" do you mean "the small forward position" or "the 3-pointer)?

Last I heard SLU was dead last in Div.I in three point % defense. Of course that might have changed since I read it 1-2 days ago.

It would be an excellent way to separate the good grad assistants from the bad.  "Hey coach, found this scouting report on Bleacher Report!"  "Son, you've got 4 months to get serious about this job or find another career."

The place to see the game on DirecTV Fox Sports Midwest is channel 671.
