In the second hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley speculates whether the Cardinals should pursue a top tier free agent shortstop like Dansby Swanson or Xander Bogaerts. Matt is then joined by Police Sergeant Ed Fingers of the St. Louis County Police Department to preview the annual charity boxing match between police officers and fire fighters, Guns ‘N Hoses which takes place Wednesday night at 5pm at Enterprise Center. Matt is also joined by Stu Durando, SLU sports writer at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, to discuss all things Billikens basketball- their game tomorrow vs Paul Quinn College, Yuri Collins being named A10 Player of the Week, and how the team may fare in non-conference matchups.
