Hall of Famer Discusses this Year’s Team
(St. Louis, MO) – Saint Louis University is 18-1 and undefeated in the Atlantic Ten Conference. Billiken broadcaster Bob Ramsey joins the podcast and tells us this is the deepest and most athletic team he has ever seen. Ramsey is working his fortieth season behind the Billiken play-by-play microphone.
He and broadcast partner Earl Austin Jr have worked together for the past 35 years and bring life, history, knowledge and passion to every Billiken broadcast.
We spoke with Ramsey about the place this SLU team could hold in history, the brilliance of Josh Schertz and the makeup of this very talented team.
He believes center Robbie Avila is the smartest player he has ever seen and that guard Kellen Thames is the ‘per minute best player in the Atlantic Ten.
We asked him to compare current head coach Josh Schertz with legendary coach Rick Majerus.
Among other things, our conversation included the University’s possible interest in joining the Big East. With 12 games left in the regular season there are numerous challenges ahead.
We hope you enjoy our conversation with Billiken broadcaster Bob Ramsey. Head to Valley Hoops Insider Podcasts for an ‘audio-only’ version of this interview.
Saint Louis plays at Saint Bonaventure on Friday night. George Washington visits Chaifetz Arena next Tuesday.

ICYMI: @BelmontMBB & @BradleyUMBB are two of the best at being committed to development and succeeding at the same time. #ArchMadness
