These kids have been resilient. They have had great purpose. They have been ready to play.
"Jim Crews" is the head men's basketball coach for Saint Louis University. He was promoted to head coach after serving on an interim basis, following the health concerns, and eventual death, of former Billikens head coach Rick Majerus. He was on Majerus' staff since 2011. After leading the Billikens to a school-record 28 wins, Crews was formally named SLU's 25th head coach on April 12, 2013.
Crews spent the first 13 years of his adult life at Indiana University under Bob Knight. He played on the 1976 NCAA Championship-winning team, the last undefeated champion. After graduating, he served as an assistant on Knight's staff for eight years before moving to the University of Evansville in 1985. In 17 years, he led the Purple Aces to five NCAA Tournaments. His best team was the 1988-89 unit, which tallied the school's only NCAA Tournament win to date. He then coached at the United States Military Academy for seven years.
More Jim Crews on Wikipedia.It's always a great rivalry game with Army-Navy and I think our guys showed a lot of heart on the road today. They showed a lot of different defenses and I think our guys did a good job executing.
We're at that point now.
They really took it to us. They are a very quick-hitting team. They do a terrific job running a full-court offense. ... We had a heck of a time defending it. They kept us on the move faster than we could do our fundamentals.
Defensively, we were pretty sound for a while. But they broke us down. That?s where Pat does such a good job, with so many (offensive) options within a possession.
Obviously we didn't execute what we needed to execute to get that done. We did the cardinal mistake on that one. That's my fault.
They switch some, they play a little zone, they play man. They look different all the time. That presents problems.
That's a great accomplishment. League play is tough. You have to play every team twice. That's a great tribute to the players and coaches.
I thought we played well defensively. We made things tough.
