NCAA Tournament 2000 - Saint Louis playbook: Tough Love

Saint Louis playbook: Tough Love
Coach's Edge

With a surprise win of the Conference USA tourney, St. Louis finds itself packing its bags for the Big Dance. Led by Senior guard, Justin Love, the Billikens finished 19-13 on the year. Love is active with and without the ball, grabbing five boards per game to go with his 19 points. St. Louis hopes to give out a little more Tough Love to some unsuspecting teams this year.
