I agree about Gibby being a constant distraction to the opponents D. They have to keep at least one guy on him at all times. And he’s shown recently he’ll take it to the hoop off the dribble.

I keep Jimerson on the floor because you have to guard him. Tightly. At all times. You can't leave him for uncontested threes and double down. Bring in Warlick, McCottry, or Pikaar and you can double off of them much easier than you can with Jimerson. We have three players willing to launch beyond the arc. The rest, including two starters, are reluctant. Take any of the big three out and we are an easier team to guard. Jimerson is third on the team in rebounds. He has shown a great improvement this season on the boards. Jimerson is used to playing heavy minutes. This season he is averaging 37.5 mpg. Last season he average 35.8 mpg. There are TV timeouts every four minutes. There is the parade to the foul line. There are the constant, infuriatingly long play reviews. Plenty of time to catch your breath.

The guy was a red shirt player who gave it up to help the team. He has done everything he’s been asked to do. He knows his role, and has done well. Calmly, coolly sank 2 FT after the opponent tried to ice him at the line. The subs had 10 RB yesterday. Played 13% of the minutes, but 26% of the rebs.

The Warlick love fest is very confusing to me. He’s just a random role player with a weird role

Game is on ESPN+ in full. For the technical foul on Brooklyn Gray at the end of the third quarter, Colin Suhre said it was for taunting, but since no Loyola players were near her, I don’t get it. Also, she missed the jumper at the buzzer, so what was there to taunt them about? At the game I thought it was for complaining to the refs that she got fouled, but if that was the criteria for a technical, there should have been tons called on Loyola because they complained a lot. For the foul on Peyton Kennedy, she was called for a foul on the Loyola players reaching for the ball (that looked pretty ticky-tak on the game stream) so her getting smacked hard in the head after that was ignored. Colin Suhre said on air he thought they had called the foul on Loyola, and he thought the delay and officials looking at the monitor was the refs looking to see if it was a flagrant foul. That was what I thought as well.

I remember Hargrove being the guy who locked Daly up. But he played there for so long there could have been a French game too. My takeaways: Warlick a stone-cold killer. I don't back off the very questionable Goodwin comp (all analogies limp), but just stone cold from the line. Also, Schertz needs to rest Jimerson more. When he's not scoring, there's just not a lot he does to drive winning. I don't know why Schertz is both afraid to sub but then has no problem having three subs on the court at the same time.

Back in the late 80s, Wake had a player named Sam Ivy who had a similar problem. Interesting that Ivy was from Webster Groves. Could it be a St. Louis thing? Half-joking but that is an unusual coincidence.

The chronic cramping issue restricted his minutes before the hip injury. Thatch and Thames sagas ... stellar high school careers, then onset of mysterious chronic cramping issues at SLU. What other athlete in decades of local college and pro STL sports suffered from the same condition as Thatch and Thames? Are back-to-back cases at one institution coincidental?

I’m not saying the athletic department should not have put something together for Kansas City, but I think the tradition has always been the local alumni group organizes those parties. Usually the alumni group put something together and then people traveling from out of town get invited to join them.

What’s the story on Thames? He started the season like he’d get votes for a conference all star team. Understood he’s got the cramp problems and a hip issue. Are these injuries restricting his minutes or, more seriously, impacting his level of play?

I will be there Saturday!!!

From the Fairfax County, Va Historic Society..... George Washington and George Mason lived less than 10 miles from each other—maybe 4 miles if you went by boat. They lived in similar looking homes, both sited on peninsulas of the Potomac River. They served in the Virginia House of Burgess together. They visited each other often. And they even worshipped at the same church where they were both vestrymen. Pohick Church still stands today, with its 12th century baptismal font, Civil War graffiti and Washington family pew.

Played 3 mins, had 1 board and missed the only shot he took.

No, that’s AG (Ancient Guy)

O G should know them

Again, no. George Washington, the president, lived at Mt. Vernon, VA. Mt. Vernon is south of DC. George Mason lived in Northern Virginia, around the current Fairfax area. At the time they both lived it would have taken more than a day or two to go from one house to the other.

I don't know what's happened with our 3s this year. Peyton Kennedy used to be money on long range.

I'm aware of the university locations. I was speaking of the founding fathers themselves and their farms in Virginia.

They are not neighbors. GW is in downtown DC, George Mason is in Fairfax Virginia.

Bargain basement Doncic was absolutely cooking us (Kobe, GJ, etc.) until Coach put Anya on him. Completely shut him down. Reminded of a few years back against St. Joseph. Ryan Daly was turning Goodwin and everyone else inside out…killing us…and then Ford put French on him. That move won us the game.

By the way, for those who think I might be a little over the top on our three point shooting, go look at the team stats on NCAA.com. They have our team 3pt average after last nights game at 25.74%, putting us at 315 out of 353 teams. Not quite as bad as the last year under Lisa Stone, where we finished the season at 335, but getting there.

Zoom in on the reply and under Session End Reason it says policy-deny? Are we really sure the firewall has not been programmed to deny access to Billikens.com? And I sure hope the FBI stands for Firewall Basic Instructions. If not, the later part when it mentions a List-Out becomes more than a little alarming.

FBI? Hmmmm.

Why was our game against UMASS Lowell so close?

Live by the sword die by the sword on 3 pointers- at least Jimerson tries plan B not sure if Swope has a plan B
