Billikan Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I was very encouraged by reading this publication because I think we have fewer weak links than I can remember in the modern era. Justin and Bryce still have to prove themselves but they have strengths that we have not seen at the end of the bench in years. And Justin may surprise and move up in the rotation. Everyone else has a real chance at contributing in a big way depending on the circumstances. We are more athletic than we have been in years and the defense should be, as always, tenacious. It is too early to make any predictions, and I would like to see this group in practice, but the future looks rosy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 go to the summary on page 26 for the details of the 11 games that the billikens were within one possession very late in the game and lost last year. anyone that thinks this team is in trouble based on last year's record need only keep in mind how close we were to basically being about 5 or 6 wins minimum better even with our two best players injured all season. i gotta believe our continued maturation of our returning players and the best core of freshmen since hughes wins those 5 or 6 games this season. that said, iowa, gonzaga, siu, north carolina, hawaii, and uw-milwaukee. that is a formidable non conference schedule right there!

davidnark Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Oh, So Close Saint Louis played 12 games last year that were decided in the last minute or in overtime and lost 11 of those contests: Austin Peay guard Maurice Hampton buried a desperation triple with 2.5 seconds to play and the Governors prevailed in overtime. SLU scored only one basket in the last 3:45 and fumbled away its final possession in a 61-58 loss to Eastern Michigan. Oral Roberts guard Ken Tutt drained a 22-foot rainbow with 10 seconds left for a taut 55-54 win. Reggie Bryant had his potential game winner blocked. Hawai‘i forward Julian Sensley banked a leaning jumper from the left side with 15 seconds left to beat SLU 53-52. Izik Ohanon had an uncontested 16-foot jumper to win the game, but it rimmed out. SLU couldn’t make its free throws down the stretch and Dayton did as the Flyers prevailed 62-54. Afer leading throughout most of the second half at Charlotte, the Billikens closed to 60-58 on Ian Vouyoukas’ traditional three-point play with 50 ticks left. SLU didn’t control its defensive board on a late tip-in and lost 65-59. SLU failed to score in the final 4:35 of regulation, and Marquette completed an eight-point run as guard Dameon Mason tied the game with 21 seconds left by tipping in his own missed lay-up. The Golden Eagles survived 55-51 in double OT. SLU couldn’t control its defensive board after a missed DePaul free throw and was forced to foul Drake Diener, one of C-USA’s top free throw shooters. Diener buried both for a 56-53 lead with nine ticks remaining. Bills guard Dwayne Polk had a game-tying trey blocked. Billiken guard Darren Clarke buried a trey with 2.5 seconds to play in regulation, capping a SLU rally from a nine-point deficit with 4:50 to play, but Charlotte held on in overtime 83-78. UAB forward Ernest Little blocked SLU guard Luke Meyer’s jumper as time expired, and the Blazers slipped past the Billikens 64-62. Leading SLU 51-49, DePaul’s Drake Diener nailed two free throws with nine seconds remaining to seal the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I noticed something on Nark's post. No mention of IO. Our leading scorer always seemed to disappear at the end or for long periods of time. Why is that? I just don't see us being as bad or worse without Reggie and Tom (sad to say as things turned out.)

kshoe Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 by the end of the game even the blindest of coaches could see that he was the guy to shut down if they wanted to win. IO ended up having a nice career with us, the problem was the other two seniors we counted on were injured the majority of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenpais Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Looks extremely encouraging. From what I gather, it looks like Drejaj may start early over Lisch and Polk will still run point. I hope Obi is good to go for this year as the forward spot will be key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I know. I know. BUT I think you could say the same of Marquee Perry, and Justin Love who got the job done more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 AD deserves quality minutes whether it fits in the rebuilding plans or not. I think it will be hard to keep him off the court. Hard nosed kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
