Anybody got any theories on Thames. Seems to me to be more complicated than cramping.

He can't impose his will that's true. What UD did was not to double-team him. He can usually draw the double team and pass out of it effectively. Because UD flipped the script on him and has athletic big men that defended him well 1:1 it took away that aspect of his game. So he was off. Add to it that he has to work harder on the defensive end to defend athletic big men.
Maybe he'll learn from the experience of having a team play him straight up man to man without doubling and be better next time. He's a smart player. That's how he wins he usually plays smart.
Edit: just read Stu he said the problem was UD double team him and that he needs to get rid of the ball quicker. Maybe I'm biased as I didn't count the TOs when they played him 1:1. Also I think the other players need to move better to receive passes.
I really like the simple dribble hand off by Avila at the top of the arch. He can hand off effectively screening and roll himself or the player shoots a 3. Or he can deny the hand off and make a move to the basket driving or dishing. I didn't see that enough last night.
I think Stu was right on. Turnovers were when he kept the ball too long.

That’s bull$hit! He’s the best guy on the team; just had an off night
I Agee Robbie is usually a good and valuable player but Jimerson is the best most consistent player on the team. He was a warrior tonight.

Duh, forgot about Jimmy McKinney III from Vashon. My bad, Jimmy.
Who is the current Vashon coach? And does he have any relationship with SLU/ Corey Tate?

I don't necessarily agree with this but you could argue that if you make tickets cheap why would anyone buy season tickets.

Yes re Steratore. By the way I was at the game when Steratore pulled out the index card to give Dallas a first down that saved the Cowboys at Oakland.
Also longtime and current NFL Ref Bill Vinovich also refs NCAA Basketball games usually Out West.
Geno did a lot of our games maybe 10 years ago. He had a good verbal relationship with a good friend of mine who had front row baseline seats. Seemed like a good guy.

Amari doing a good job of getting to the rim.

How can we only be down by 13 . Feels like 33.

-partially, but I think more is that we take the huge majority of our 2pt shots at the rim
Schertz has said he hates the mid range shot. It's pure math. 3 pointers and high percentage lay ups.

The last two have got to be the ugliest Billiken wins. Especially in a row. Can’t sleep on the Geedubya trap game.
Is that a good sign that you don’t play well and still win?

Air ball - turnover. Nights over. But I agree with you.

Not sure I would say that, although I don't know the attitude of the new owners. I would think that the success of SLU's Athletic Department, especially the men's basketball programs, is connected to the success of Humphries. I would hope that they recognize this and are accommodating.
They are an advertiser or sponsor during the games.

We had a lot of help from Richmond down the stretch. A win is a win but I didn’t like how we played today Very tentative. I know Richmond took away our 3’s but I thought we got away from our normal motion and we played way too slow. On defense we couldn’t stop dribble penetration. We tried the zone only once in the second half and gave up a corner 3 and that was it. It’s not rocket science but Schertz handled the end of the game perfectly.

Watching VCU St. Joe. Philip Russell is very good.

My feed is WVU and Houston?
I started with the Bills Game. After about 3 minutes it changed. Tried logging in again and it was WVU.

Interesting. I was connecting to the internet on 5g, used this site no problem, then I logged off to do other stuff. I connected to Chaifetz Public WiFi, got on other sites no problem, but when I went back to Billikens.com, I got a “Server not found” error. I shut off the WiFi, and on 5g I had no problem getting on Billikens.com. Just reporting the facts. As to why,
Probably the BOT ordered it because of Roy’s criticism.

First- it’s nice coach Schertz addressed this glaring weakness. Sign of a good leader.
Second- we’ll see what “fixes” can be made. Can he make it a point of emphasis sure. At a certain point it’s a personnel thing. Not many rebounding archetypes on the roster.
Still in 1st
Yes they were bigger and stronger but it appeared to me they were also quicker to the ball. Part of that is effort and desire. So part of that can be fixed.

This team is lacking a Willie Reed type player. Maybe Casey was supposed to ne that guy.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a team out shot 72-37.
That’s incredible. Guess we lost by 40. Sure hope we have rebounding practice tomorrow.

What’s the deal with Amari?

Casey is taking a medical redshirt this season, per Stu.

As I posted previously. Do you want him back? I haven’t seen enough to form an opinion but maybe the coaches have.

I can be completely wrong but I feel there is more to this than medical.
