  1. Congratulations on a great season ladies. You keep moving the needle forward.
  2. And you clearly don’t get a top 53,000 announcer for a womens sweet 16 game
  3. This ref seems to rarely get the call right for either team
  4. It’s a shame that teams are given home games in the sweet 16
  5. And the last foul against Kelly in SLU’s favor was probably a good call right?
  6. I thought it was a good call. Lots of weak ones so far but imo that was the right call
  7. Wow. That sucks. Hard to argue with the call that gave the free kick
  8. Way to early for the corner tactic which rarely actually is effective
  9. SLU got a big break on the weak foul vs Larson that SLU scored on but yhe PS gets even a bigger poor call for the PK and Emily comes up huge.
  10. Wow. No idea why the PK was called and then What a save by Emily. That was incredible
  11. Strange game. The teams alternated dominating qtrs. 1st - M by 4 2nd - SLU by 8 3rd - M by 11 4th - SLU by 15 Mizzou didn’t play bad except they got in a lot of foul trouble. Like always maybe a couple they could complain about but mostly they committed the fouls. Mizzou shot 50% from the field and 41% from 3. Nice game by the Bills
  12. Brooklyn Gray is going to cause teams some problems. She can play. 87-80 SLU. SLU inbounding after a made basket by Mizzou
  13. Bills up 5. 50 seconds left Mizzou inbounding Bills get the shot clock violation. 39.7 left
  14. It’s funny how if a player doesn’t improve enough it’s the coaches fault, not the players. Except if we don’t like the player, then of course it’s his/her fault. There’s nothing about basketball fundamentals that is rocket science. It’s not about the teacher, it’s about the work. You can get a video of how to shoot and a video camera to record yourself if you really wanted to. Jordan Goidwin became my favorite Billiken ever but his failure to become a much better 3 pt shooter in college was on him not the coaching staff
  15. Not necessarily to do with this game but is there any player in the country better at delivering a dangerous free kick from 40-50+ yards out than Katie Houck?
  16. I haven’t watched the game yet, I’m hoping it’ll be available on demand on espn+ but the Bills win 3-2 at ranked Nebraska. The Bills played 4 ranked teams already, with 3 of those on the road and are 1-2-1 in the 4 games.
  17. I was there also, though the USA won 3-0, they looked lethargic after they got the early goal. Way too much slowing it down, inaccurate passing, and almost no direct balls. Ream got away with a couple of mistakes and some bad distribution. If not for Turner this could have been a loss or a tie.
  18. Which Knights Inn should I bring my paystubs to?
  19. Starting RB for the USWNT. Hasn’t had a bad WC
  20. I think we are on the same page. However, I generally tend to put 75% blame on the player as long as the player is actually capable of performing at a level that would have got the job done. And 100% the players were capable of not allowing 30 points in 10 min. Heck, they allowed 39 in the 1st 30. I get that teams get hot and go on streaks but a 10 min streak at about a 120 pt a game rate. Ridiculous. And I’m a big Yuri fan who thinks he gets unfairly judged on this board, but he had numerous turnovers that lead to easy buckets during that stretch. Gibby was like 1/12 or something also. Fred didn’t shoot well either if I remember right. That 10 min was like the Cardinals season, Even Arenado has been bad defensively. My point with Ford is people want him fired based upon expectations that weren’t fair with the way Perk played and Fred getting hurt. I’ think his seat should be warm, but Im not wanting him fired based upon not making the tournament in a season which we ended up not actually having the talent we thought we were going to have. Imo the biggest fault of the team was the inability of our guards to play even a little tight D and still keep their man in front of them, and I think we were athletic enough to do it. We just didn’t. Slow reactions, incorrect angles, slow help… letting guards consistently get in the lane just leads to so many other problems. Yes Ford has major accountability for the poor D
  21. So you are saying you were expecting a tourney team even if you’d have known you would have a diminished Perk and lose Fred mid year? I love your optimism. Can’t argue a horrible finish to the SIUE game. Though the real issue was giving up 30 pts in less than 10 min. Just hold them to 27 pts in 10 min and we win. Of course Ford should be accountable for that but so should the players who played far below their level
  22. That’s it. Had anyone said Perkins will be a sliver of his old self and we will lose Thatch halfway through, who would have called that even a sure NCAA team much less one the best in Billikens history. Can you say Ford should have been prepared? Maybe, but there was no way to know either of those in advance. The NIL shouldn’t be a problem with all the big mouths on Billikens.com, you’d think we’d be one of the top 5-10 NIL schools in the country. All the talk of accountability doesn’t seem to apply to boosters
