MB73 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Nice 17 point win, wow, scored 85 points to boot. Undefeated with tougher looking mascot. Crawford, Reggie, Ash looked good, a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Very happy for Miles. He put in work in the weight room and, tonight at least, it paid off. I've got no problem with a stronger, more experienced player keeping a freshman on the bench. That's the way it's supposed to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doowop Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If they had hit more free throws they would have scored over 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Miles looked much more confident and physically prepared for this season. DR was not aggressive which was a little odd to see. The pairing of Bartley and Reynolds, though limited, appeared to be pretty effective. I liked what I saw out of MC, RA, and MY. The first half jitters made this game closer than it should have been, but I think it was a nice start to the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The key halftime adjustment by Crews was a huge key in this game. Jolly, Gillmann and Neufeld were not very successful in stopping Carroll in the first half. He was either scoring or finding the open shooter when we doubled. Crews went smaller on him in the second half and pretty much neutralized Carroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 This team has moments where you think they might be decent, followed by others where you think winning 10 games will be a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 We aren't going to see the same dedication to defense as we have over the last 6 or 7 years but this team might actually be able to score. Hartford is one of the worst teams we'll play all year but it was still a good performance for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 For a first game...I was impressed with their defense and they seemed to have a good sense of the new shot clock. They will only get better and I am still saying the press underestimating the Bills is a good thing. They look to be more experienced and more controlled. JC did a good job today too.

JettFlight5 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 85 points against anyone is a good thing to see. Did we go the whole game without a shot clock violation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills_06 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 85 points against anyone is a good thing to see. Did we go the whole game without a shot clock violation? I know we had one in the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenboy Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 One in the second but still a great adjustment by JC and staff to prepare them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 There was stuff I liked in the game. That said I fear what is going to happen when we won't out athlete a team. Also, this will probably be the only game we win shooting under 25% from 3 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetorch Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 6'8 Brennan Schofield was in attendance. We should get that Carroll kid to transfer here. Good game by Miles Reynolds. Getting to the basket and the only one playing any defense on the perimeter. No jumpshot will hurt him against better opponents but his added strength is letting him muscle past defenders and get shots off to get foul shots. Reggie had a ncie game as well. Solid rebounding and defense. Malik slowed down for the most part and it helps his game. When he rushes and gets sloppy he gets into trouble. 13,7,5 is a very nice line. Crawford was ok, couldn't defend. Bartley, Roby and Yacoubou weren't defending either. Ash has to finish his gimmies. I like his post up game as a change of pace. More shots for Gillmann. Less playing time for Jolly. Still have no idea who the primary ballhandler is. We did what we should do. This will be our worst opponent of the year. Tought test at SIUE. Harris wants to make his mark early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSluBills Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Best stat of the day is 16 Assists to 7 turnovers. I liked the way our offense looked today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hey we're undefeated. Offense was good. Defense not so much. Why do we give up so many open corner three's ? I know we don't have a shot blocker but we will lose games giving up three's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 OK I was there, I liked what I saw. Despite their poor stats and ranking Hartford was not a total pushover, they had a very good 3 pt scorer, Graham, which got 2-3 and scored 13. Pancake scored 15 with 2-4 3 pointers,and Carroll scored 14. We did well and have 5 players that stand well above all else and may become starters for the season: Crawford, played 29 minutes, scored 17, 4 rebounds, 7-8 Fts. Reynolds, played 27 min, scored 16, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 2 steals, 7-8 FTs. Yacoubou played 36 min, scored 13, had 7 rebounds, 3 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 3-7 FTs. Agbeko played 26 min, scored 11, had 8 rebounds, 2 assist, 2 steal, 1 block, 3-7 FTs. Yarborougn played 31 min, scored 13, 7 rebounds, 5 assist, 1 steal, 3-5 FTs. The rest did not play that long and did not do that well. We only had 7 TOs vs 16 for Hartford. Bartley did not do that well. He scored 7 and got 4 fouls. Let's hope he improves in future games. Brett Jolly did a block, 2 rebounds, and a couple of good screens, scored 2. He only played 10 min. This was better than what I expected from him. In all, if this game shows anything is that we have at least 5 players that can perform in court. This season may not be as bad as a lot of the posters in this board think. The fire alarm snafu is to be expected with all of the popcorn sales kiosks they have this year. I hope it does not become a recurrent feature of these games. I enjoyed the game.

The fire alarm snafu is to be expected with all of the popcorn sales kiosks they have this year. I hope it does not become a recurrent feature of these games. I enjoyed the game. Yes. Alot of positives and negatives can be drawn from this game: Positives: We scored alot of points! We settled on a rotation We had balanced scoring No injuries We showed patience breaking the press and scoring layups We may have found a point guard I like having the ball in MR and MC's hands down the stretch b/c of their FT shooting We had only 1 shot clot violation We won the game and the outcome was never really in doubt Negatives: We need to play better defense - tonight was horrible We will need more than Reggie inside and Jolly and Austin are not the answers We need to get Neufeld minutes We need to get our best defender in the game -- Roby We need to work our best shooter into the game -- Bartley We will have another bad year if we rely upon Ash Did I mention how bad our defense was? Nonetheless, tonight was a decent performance. Most all the guys improved from last year. We now have a foundation upon which Crews can build - last year, we never did. I am hopeful and expect the defense will come around as it is largely based upon effort, desire and coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
