  1. +1 (not that I am agreeing with Roy, mind you.... ). His defense and passing ability are worth 24 minutes minimum.
  2. Yes, I agree with your point, which is probably what Skip was saying, too. (Sorry Skip) It is not like you get to "choose" to be fouled, though. The Evans play and the two Conklin plays were at our end. Evans did get hit, but, as I recall the ball bounced in for him. Still, I would rather have the rebound and a attempt rather no rebound. As to who get the minutes, well, I guess RM and Porter are working on that. If the Bills don't go dry for that big stretch, the whole discussion is moot. I wonder if all teams (i.e., not just the Bills) have these long scoring droughts? Seems as though the Bills have their share. One issue that the Bills have with the Frosh is that all the offensive options are not put in. So, the defense has a higher likelihood of being able to antcipate the offense. Peace out.
  3. Yeah, no kidding! You should have played in the Industrial Leagues in Detroit. Blood in just about every game. Better to have a hustling rebound than not--even if the probability of a score or a foul is low, no?
  4. I agree that not getting those points hurts, but those shots are, in fact, brutally contested. Headfakes might help, but the time they take gives other defenders time to collapse. From what I saw, BC was hammered on two missed "bunnies" and perhaps there could have been a call. With all due respect, I am sure that you would agree that playing inside in D-1 is not exactly like playing in the CYO.
  5. What really sucked was that the band was there ready to play the banner at the start of the women's game, and whoever makes these decisions decided to go with a recording instead. Good googly moogly.
  6. Mr. Moser also opined that Mr. Manning: is a true 5. can run the floor. is aggressive, which will help with rebounding. can shoot short hooks with either hand. can catch and shoot (but does not have 3-point range). Mr. Moser also said that this signing is it for this period. My opinion from listening is that Mr. Moser is quite excited by this signing (and beyond what would be normal just to have signed a new player).
  7. Yeah, no kidding. And, don't forget about CR in the mix as time goes by (or even another to-be-recruited big) Perhaps quite the frontline.
  8. As I said, your post makes a lot of sense--just like you have outlined. Loe's outside shot will stretch the defense. It seems that the Bills tended to peal back last year after a shot went up--so it did not seem to me that the Bills had a lot of opportunity for offensive rebounds. With defensive rebounded, however, well, that calls for men amoung "Yutes". The way the A-10 "refs" seem to call the game most likely means the Bills might simply have to be tougher and smarter when it comes to positioning. As you said, though, all we have to analyze so far is two scrimmages against guys no one knew. One reason to support your notion that CR could still be solid is that he is young--he came to college at what, 17? It does take time to develop bigs--especially if they are not done growing. Not having WR and KM will be on fans' minds for a while--but, I do not think it will be on the mind of the guys on the court At least, it better not--the other team could care less and RickMa will not allow it. The Bills gotta "run what they brung" and we, as good fans, gotta support the team on the floor--especially because they will give us a lot of effort.
  9. Count me in the first camp you mention (even though your post makes a lot sense to me). I just recall how much SLU struggled when KM did not play the whole game--or, was even on the bench. I agree that the defensive presence and "Dunkenstein" moments provided by WR (in his 20-25 minutes, say) will be missed. I think, however, without KM (and all those minutes per game), the team will be rudderless for a while. Sure seems to me that the Frosh blend right in. The question is, to what level of play are they blending? A lower one than where the Bills were at the end of the year last year, or about the level at the end of the year? Has to be a lower level at the moment, anyway. RickMa and his staff and the guys on the team will give it their all. Of that, I am confident. Whether their all will lead the Bills out of the wilderness, well, the answer lies ahead--beginning Friday. Any "W" is a good "W" (especially before the end of the semester).
