  1. Very good game Billikens. I was happy to walk out of there with a win against a scrappy team. The view from the other side of the fence: First Iti - he shows his potential when he's explosive, and he wasntat all last night. Lutz said he may be gettingw orn down too much in practice. My biggest gripe with him is that his footwork on defense is horrible and he allows smaller guys to push him around. He needs big man camp. He is more athletic than any big man I've seen in CUSA. It's hard to picture, but he made a steal a few games ago and went coast to coast. Even Lutz was shaking his head on that one. He's a work in progress though for sure. We were playing like we were hungover from the UAB loss for the first 10 minutes or so. Absolutely no energy whatsoever. Just going through the motions. Things started tipping back in our favor when we turned up the intensity several notches. We made our FTs!! Crowd was sparse partially due to weather & midweek game, but also probably because we lost our homecoming game to UAB. I am almost certain I saw tarheelbilliken wearing his shirt. Older guy, right? The Bills execute and pass very well. Once again, I can see why you guys will rarely ever have a bad game. Too fundamnetally sound with a decent amount of talent. This year's team looked as avdertised: not as brusing, but better shooting. I do have one gripe and you're not gonna like it. It's about Bryant. He is a good player but he really turned me off the way he used his left arm to hurl his defender out of the way. he did that all game long and got calls on a couple of occassions where he threw Butter Johnson to the floor. They finally called it late in the game when SLU could have turned the tide. Maybe he was just frustrated that his outside shots werent falling, but I hope he doesnt get away with that when we play again. Best of luck guys. I'll be dreading the return trip (we NEVER win there).
