Only thing that Francis has on French is free throw shooting. He’s a stiff in every other facet of the game. There’s a real reason he didn’t play at Oregon and isn’t injuries
Yes. Way overhyped.

Jones leading on the boards with 7.
12 TO. What is wrong with our ball handling these last few games?
Seems to me our ballhandling problem has to do with LOFT.

So if Fordham is supposed to finish above the pillow fight, We should absolutely dog walk Duquense, La Salle, GW, and St Joes if we relearn how to play basketball
That was before Daye quit. Without Ohams, you see what Fordham has, essentially nothing.

Another missed Okoro layup. How is it possible?
-
The mynuzzle.com pillow commercial has made watching this game bearable. Looking into getting one of those.

How are we winning?
Fordham has nothing with Ohams on the bench with 2 fouls.

Seems to me another players only meeting at halftime might be in order.

Ford needs a TO, baby.

Jones gives a spark. Up one. Fordham is not good.
-
11 turnovers. Wow.
-
The only 2 players we have who can score in the paint are out today. Not seeing a win here.
-
Shameful.
-
9 turnovers, 9 points, with 9 mins. to go.
-
Was there a team-wide 3am drunk last night? Only thing that can explain this.
-
Ohams owning Okoro. Brutal.

Hey, Davidson? Go no go?
Not looking good.

That might be the worst nine mins. of basketball ever played. Well, wait, we scored 20 points once so second worst.

Good thing this is Fordham or we’d be down 20.
Exactly.

Fordham physically overpowering us. You read that right, Fordham.
-
Dismal showing so far.
-
LOL, down 8-2 to a depleted Fordham team. We look like a bottom feeder.

Joe B. Hall passed away today National Champion as a coach and player at UK. Also a great all time Billikens what if.
After Buddy Brehmer resigned after a 6-20 season in 68-69 SLU looked to make a big splash hire and steal top assistant and recruiter from Kentucky Joe B. Hall to be the head coah for the Billikens. Hall, all of 40 years old, signed a 4 year deal to be Billikens coach amid a lot of local fanfare. In less than a week UK had convinced to Hall to stay on as top asst and successor to Adolph Rupp. Hall took over UK two seasons later and coached for 13 seasons making 10 NCAA tournaments, 3 Final Fours, 1 NCAA title and NIT title as well.
Here are some Post Dispatch articles to give you a sense of the buzz around the program at the time and the outrage at the spurning of SLU by Hall.
Thanks for posting that interesting piece of Billikens’ history. File under: What might have been.

Can’t criticize his effort, but the airball layup was a bit comical.
