the problem was the old midwestern cities conference got zero respect from the ncaa. we were a one bid conference forever. we should have been given a spot for the douglas, gray bonner years. yes we were the second best team in the conference to xu, but those billiken teams were very deserving imo.
For sure. and the proof is making the NIT final 2 consecutive years, beating many good teams at their house to get to the final 4 at MSG. We know from last year that winning multiple games in the NIT is difficult.

So much fun to consider Gibson and JNezz are freshmen and Yuri a Soph. This time 1 year ago Gibson was barely in the rotation. He had the equivalent of a Conklin summer to improve many aspects of his game

I cannot recall 1 foul on SLU that was blatantly a bad call. How about less moving screens that are essentially a foul and a turnover? How about not fouling a jump shooter? How about not leaping on a pump fake 12 feet from the basket when our defender already has an 8 inch reach advantage on the shooter?
I hope the players aren't blaming the refs and instead are focused on improvement. We are better than last night.

I can wait. All that matters is being ready when conference tourney gets here. It was always going to be Auto bid or bust with this team.
True. We're just as likely to lose our first game in the A10 tournament as we are to run the table. Hoping for the latter!

If you can find humor in a loss it's definitely Williams coming in and absolutely chucking tonight. I truly enjoyed it.
LOL. Reminds me of
INGVI GUDMUNDSSON jacking it up from 45 feet. Sorry about ALL CAPS it was cut and paste from old roster -
does Ford do any prep at all? Stop Fernandes and we win easy. McKillop had Davidson totally prepared to win at a tough VCU. This stinks.

Franco tossing up off balanced shots. Try a pass for once

Why do we have to bring up French's passing when talking about Okoro's lack of passing? Yes French was a good passer out of the post most times but saying we were spoiled by French seems like the wrong approach. I'm not asking Okoro to average 2.5 apg but I am asking him to even attempt a pass out of the post more than once every few games.
Because mentioning French's recent success in kick-outs indicates that at minimum the coaching staff isn't AGAINST kick-outs. We cannot ask players to do something, but Coach can (and should)

Thank you Traore. Finally, seems all season, some gets a rebound under the basket and finds an open shooter instead of forcing a shot right into three defenders. I like his instincts.
I agree. inside out passes are nonexistent on this team

Try Andre L. Could he be any worse than everyone else?

We have one, ford just likes to sit him at bad times
not convinced JN is a playmaker. Seems to be a score first guy.

Need a competitive point guard from transfer portal for next year. I'm a big Yuri fan but we need more than 1 PG.

Does any of our bigs know what a kickout is?

Yeah. Linssen has 10 assists this year (1.0 per game), Okoro 4 (0.4 per game).
Linssen makes some good passes, especially to cutters. I just don't see kickouts to the arc.

We stopped doubling Mus because he was passing out of the double. (Note the 9 assists he had.) Neither Linssen, Okoro or Traore would have shut him down single handled.
It would be nice to see Linssen and Okoro pass out of a double. In fact, I never see any kickout passes once they have the ball.

I'd take Murphy over Yuri in a heartbeat. GJ and Nesbitt can hold their heads high.

Franco is directly from the official billiken tweets. Next time I'll just say FO.

I too like GJ going to the hoop. that will eventually pay dividends at the arc. Would like him to do more of the little things. Should be averaging more than 1 rebound and 0 assists.
Amazed at Franco's free throw shooting. With Martin's solid FT%, we don't have any hack-a-shaq candidates.

A few generally reliable people mentioned to me that Moser could be in play at Creighton along with Darian DeVries. But I haven't heard anything yet that would indicate that.
Are you indicating McDermott could be fired at Creighton?

Has ford made adjustments all season...or ever for that matter?
wishful thinking on my part

See if Ford can make some halftime adjustments. Going forward, no one's minutes should be assumed for next year except Perkins. I hope to see better ball movement next year.

Rob Loe was amazing in the NCAA win against NC State. 22 Points/15 Rebs. He obviously had a lot of help too. I'm not saying it's a top 10, but that effort in a huge game is definitely worthy of remembering!
