I guess the closed door scrimmage was today. Mizzou lost Porter for the year (he'll likely rehab and go pro) so Cuonzo got a total of 1 year and 3 games out of both of the Porter brothers. Interested to hear how the scrimmage went if anyone knows...
I am interested to find out myself. I usually hear these things.
I saw on Twitter last night that we lost by 14, but am still trying to find a box score.
Just a scrimmage. However about what I expected. All seniors and unless s miracle happens in STL another March sitting home
I believe in miracles.
However, I don't believe there will be a Saluki M(Arch) Madness miracle in the Lou. 😰
March on triumphantly!
Not surprised by the result either. Just happy they made it out intact unlike Mizzou.
Is it November 9th yet? Saluki Football is boring me...

So, wrecked by Mizzou, who likely isn’t a tourney team this year. Fun stuff.
Yeah a 14 point loss to Mizzou doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy...could be a long year.
Fwiw, Mizzou did receive preseason AP Top 25 votes, and they're around #40 on KenPom's preseason rankings, though both were certainly before they lost Porter #2 to ibjury.
I still was expecting a close game at least.
The excuse for this season, will be Bol really set us back with the injuries.
I'm not going to read too much into a "scrimmage" game. I'll jump off the bandwagon soon enough, I'm sure. But since the results and stats are private, no fans in the gym, etc. it's not a good read. Some of the freshmen who will redshirt probably got some minutes for development sake in this kind of game. I doubt Bol played to save his knees. Barry would tell you he saved half his playbook because he didn't want it to get leaked out.

Ya, it is pretty pointless for fans to take anything away from a private scrimmage.
