  1. 13-18 from 2. 0-12 from 3. Regular story, high TOs for us, we cause no TOs.
  2. Have you seen their locker rooms? Prisons have better facilities.
  3. Nice putback by Sincere. Back on top.
  4. Last 3 game 12-50 from 3 point range. Not good.
  5. Great sequence from Zhang. Headed to the line. Ends the scoring drought at 5:30.
  6. Davidson on an 8-0 run. No Billiken points in 4 minutes.
  7. EZ already out. Refs out to get him.
  8. EZ is really an elite performer at the opening tip. Should win a conference award for this, perfect 7-7 on opening tips.
  9. Team is ready to turn the corner. Dalger was a team cancer. Everyone on the team loves Ford. They think he's a great guy. If they let Ford have more control over NIL he wouldn't have to recruit guys like Dalger.
  10. Melvin Robinson also left the team that year.
  11. Hearing DePaul is going to throw an unseemly amount of money at Wade.
  12. Once Ford said EZ was basically a freshman I tuned out.
  13. Looks like he needs to go pro. Best of luck to him.
  14. SLU has over 94% chance of playing in the PIG. The good thing is by that time we will be fully healthy, in shape, and trending towards a B+ team. I big blowout win in the PIG can propel us to an A10 tourney title.
  15. https://x.com/jakelieberman2/status/1749104520628421097?s=20 Showing interest in another JUCO. 6'2 combo guard out of Tampa. Originally signed with an NAIA school in TX, went the D-2 JUCO route instead.

  17. Think you could also argue why a complaint was filed in september and charges weren't filed until 3 months later. Why the wait by Lawrence PD?
  18. Parker was electric tonight. And what a job at the line. When he is full strength we really look like an 8th place team in the A10. We'll definitely make the quarterfinals of the A10 tournament.
  19. C'mon guys keep it under 30. I know you can do it!!!! Go Bills!!!
  20. We've been excellent at the line tonight. Parker 6-6. Really a highlight game.
  21. So tired of the negativity. If we just hit our averages and held VCU below their averages we would have won this game. EZ in foul trouble all game, Parker stilll working it back. Glad that EZ got some extended rest this game. It's going to help him work himself back into shape. This doesn't change anything for me. We are still trending up and should be a B+ team by the time the A10 tournament rolls around. Another good thing in blowouts Rammer gets the opportunity to fill airtime to pump up Humphrey's!!! Spend all your pregame and postgame time at Humphrey's!!! Owned by Billikens Coach Travis Ford!!! Great Effort boys!!! Go Bills!!!!
