Washington defeats Borgia 40-33

Great game. Could have gone either way
Great game. Could have gone either way

washMOSports, What was great about this game ( 73 points for both teams )

A winning college coach was fired @ St. Louis University back in 2007 with a 20-13 record. His name was Brad Soderberg who coached @ Wisconsin and five years @ St. Louis University.

Brad's record:

2000-2001----26-16-- @ Wisconsin--NCAA--Top 25 team in final AP poll.
2002-2003----16-14--@ SLU
2003-2004----19-13
2004-2005----09-13
2005-2006----16-13
2006-2007----20-13---First 20 game winner in the last 15 years

One NCAA bid
Two NIT Bids

One of the reasons given for Brad's dismissal was " Nobody likes to see low scoring games! " Brad Soderberg is now an asst @ Virginia and there are stories how he was hired @ Virginia.

washMOSports, could you tell us one more time how this 40-33 score was a great game? Just kidding you washMO, I'm sure this was exciting for the Washington fans, but remember Brad Soderberg was fired for winning and having low scoring games.

I sincerely doubt Dave Neier is going to get fired.

The lead exchanged hands several times. Intense from start to finish. I don’t think either team played well. But with such pressure that’s probably not uncommon. Shots didn’t fall. Borgia only had 3 kids score and one of those had 2 points. Defense for both teams was good and every pass and shot was pressured.

Washington hit some foul shots in last minute to pull away from the one point lead they held.

So Metro yes it was a great game.
 
If low scores are going to get coaches fired then 50% of the coaches in Missouri are going to get fired....look at the scores on STL Today and many are in the 40's...or worse...

Good post, blacktiger. Low scores do not always tell you talent-level of play. They often tell you more of the style of play.

blacktiger, It has been a while since I have talked with you. Concerning your post on a 40-33 post. The Washington-Borgia game was not in the 40's. ( In the 30's ) My post on low scoring games was for my friend washMOSports about his post on ' Great Game " and he did not back off the great game post.

The Washington Bluejays have not had a 500 record in a while so they are excited on their fast start. It appears the Borgia Knights are not enrolling the talent of the past but that could change in the near future. Pacific enrolled a four year varsity starting 6'6" freshmen this year. ( He's gonna be a good one and appears to be in good hands @ Pacific ) ) Ten years ago this would have been a Borgia player.

Metro you’re way out there on that one. Ha ha.

Blacktiger tried to get me killed at Borgia but it wasn’t a Borgia fan that he introduced me to. Ha ha

I just so happened to be in Degreef Gymnasium tonight to supervise for the girls tournament...final score was 41-35.
I was chuckling about about that moment many years ago. I am blaming Fitzwater because it was his call that set those events in motion.
