No. If they could there wouldn’t be as many poor free throw shooters. Same as French, If it goes in it’s luck. 
 

The only person who could fix him is Rick Barry but these guys have too much pride for that. 

not too many guys shooting 32%

frankly very few players under 50%

We should be killing them. One mistake after another. Anya shoots FT’s worse than Wilt. 
 

His delivery is way too stiff and way too much arch.  just flip it up there.

can't Coaches do anything to improve this?

Wouldn’t even say that.

We’d be better if he sat

A coach generally looks forward....which 5 gives me the best chance to win from this point forward.   CJS kept thinking Robbie would come around,  but it actually got worse.

[GDT: SLU v. Dayton]

At some point Avila should have just defended and rebounded.  To continue to throw the ball away or miss shots was painful to watch.

I watched a little of the Kent State this week.  Cian Medley is playing very well.   He is starting and got his first double-double Tuesday night.   Looks like Sincere Parker is also doing well at McNeese.   They are undefeated in conference and rolling.   Normally I am pretty ambivalent about transfers out but I can't blame them for fleeing last year's crime scene.   

I completely forgot about Cian.  I liked his demeanor.  Very positive!

[GDT: SLU v. VCU]

Swope and avila too many careless turnovers

[GDT: SLU v. VCU]

way too much arch, way too much motion in anya's FT attempts.  

32% is simply ridiculous.   

 

[GDT: SLU v. GW]

Fly back to STL and make the team watch the entire game twice.  

We have played ridiculously awful.

[GDT: SLU v. GW]

Avila has a major turnover problem 

[GDT: SLU v. GW]

We absolutely stunk last game against Lasalle.  They just stunk worse.

The stink continues. 

 

Billiken fans deserve so much better

It be cool to start a game not losing by 10. 

We should alter our pregame routine.   For sure Gibson needs a new warmup

Tony Brown averaged 36 ppg in high school....of course, he averaged single digits where jump shots go to die...

I remember hearing that Tony Brown's high school did not have a gym his senior year, due to some fire or something.  They practiced outside, and played all away games.

While 3s have been more scarce recently, GJ did reach a major milestone...Top 50 all time in D1

50	Brett Blizzard	371	2000	2003	UNC Wilmington
	Gibson Jimerson	371	2020	2025	Saint Louis
	Kyle Korver	371	2000	2003	Creighton

Those 3 names on average also make the Top 50 "All Name" team.  Never heard of Brett Blizzard but that is a cool name. 

[GDT: SLU v. Richmond]

Ugly win but I'll take it.  Our defense has greatly improved over the course of the season 

[GDT: SLU v. Richmond]

we have 5 sssists

[GDT: SLU v. Richmond]

Either learn how to set a screen or don't set them.  Ridiculous

5-0 bad guy run. Getting a little sloppy with the ball. Jimerson not able to get free… yet.

He's been open.  For whatever reason getting him the ball has not been a priority so far

[GDT: SLU v. St. Josephs]

only 2 people handing out the hockey jerseys so there's a long line.  Hopefully it's a nice jersey.

[GDT: SLU v. Fordham]

Our big 3 are a major headache for the opposition.  if Thames heals and Anya focuses on rebounds, we can be tough on any given night.  There should be ZERO hesitation to put Max into the game.  He's fun to watch and makes things happen.

[GDT: SLU v. William Woods]

mccottry showing a lack of court vision.  Doesn't look to be our future PG

this angle is very damning on the failure to box out the free throw shooter. Neither Gibson nor Johnson even ATTEMPT to box out the shooter.  No one even touches him.  Just really really poor basketball at the most basic level.  Seems to be the norm around this program now though. 

I can't watch it anymore.  We HAVE to get that rebound.
