MVC Games Week 16

[BCPanther]

Saturday's ILST vs INST at Redbird Arena will be the final home broadcast for long-time radio Play-By-Play man, Dick Luedke. Over his career his done around 1,080 ILST men's games and 400 football.

Birds' fans have had nothing to celebrate the last couple years, but hopefully there will be a decent crowd to send off the Hall of Famer and the team gives him a W and gets to wear white jerseys in STL on Thursday night.

WIth Rima retiring at UNI as well, we're down to Hains, Reis and Snell. The old guard is hitting that point. Valley games aren't going to be the same on the radio...

For sure. Dave Snell at Bradley isn't far behind.

I have it on good authority that the REAL reason Loyola prefers the A10 is its gentlemanly club life. I’ve seen many a scarved fan in STL drop his monacle in a champagne flute at the rowdiness of the beer and nacho crowd. Hors d’eurves and apertivos are delivered by butlers at the A10 tournament with the raise of a pinkie.

Once you've adjusted to the opulence of Rogers Park it's hard to settle for anything less.

McLeod Center is officially sold-out for tomorrow. Should be loud.

Looking forward to it. Can't ask for a more exciting end to the regular season. Wish it'd be bumped up to ESPN or ESPN2, but it's a full Saturday slate with Duke already scheduled for ESPN at 5 and Texas Tech/TCU on ESPN2.

AJ Green is going to participate in Senior Day activities after the game.

Jake says that no decisions have been made and won't be until after the draft process but they want to honor him just in case this is his last game in the McLeod Center.

He'll move into UNI's Top 5 All Time Scorers in StL and do it in less than 100 career games.

I've always liked that idea for standout players.
However... it feels kind of awkward if they end up coming back after they've had a ceremony sending them off. lol

It's definitely happened at some other places due to Covid. Jordan Bohannan at Iowa comes to mind. I'll gladly live with the awkwardness if he decides to come back!

If they have graduated, i'm fine with it but it's called "Senior" night for a reason not last game night.
