I never bet against SLU if I bet them at all, but man, Today would've been easier money than finding a bag of cash on the street. Wiz you are amazing with your breakdowns, but Travis was never winning this game..

First step to recovery is admitting you sometimes troll. I admit I sometimes troll too hard on Ford/Okoro. Wiz sometimes trolls when he says SLU has a 60% chance to dance. A lot of people do it. Just gotta be self-aware.
60 percent chance to dance at the Chaifetz Sock Hop!

By the way you all continue to mark me a troll, but I have been inside the gym for nearly every home game this season, including last night. Student attendance was pitiful. But maybe they lost interest after packing the place Friday and seeing another ford disaster.
I keep showing up I guess I like a train wreck. Do you all really think McKillop won't eat ford up and spit home out? Come on.
I love this team and will always support the players. But this coach is an absolute joke. And I am not a "Troll" for telling the truth. I don't ever say the team sucks, dog the players or anything like that. I only make accurate criticisms. In the first Dayton game the players were bad....but they bounced back. And I make accurate praise as well.
For example, I love Fred Thatch and I know we all do. He is unbelievable right now. And I wish we saw more of Hargove even if it meant less of Jimmerson. And we all know Nesbitt is close to becoming a consistent legit player. But all this has to happen with bad leadership...
I think I haven't been in attendance for a total of 3 home games this year, 1 of which I had a christmas party and the other 2 I had to coach my team... So yea, I really hate SLU and I am a big troll.

maybe yuri reads the board and i have upset him saying Loyer is better and he comes out and dominates the game as A POINT GUARD. I think we are better than davidson talentwise. now the billikens have to win the chess game with their superior game pieces. imo this is the most important game left. we really need to win.
It will come down to coaching..and we know how that ends. Travis can smile when we out athlete a team like yesterday. Half court chess game- advantage opponents. Bonnies showed that
-
Does defense even exist for us?

I hate being right. No adjustments from Ford, he ran out the same game plan on offense and defense. It is to be expected at this point. Hopefully we can get all 5 star recruits in the starting line up so we can make the sweet 16 one day.
That’s the only way we will ever make it with him coaching. All he can do is recruit

Thoughts? What would you do different? I'm seeing a whole lot of players who aren't ready??
A good coach has players ready. Especially when you know exactly what the bonnies do. And they have no depth first thing you do is run people at players and try to draw blocks
-
Ford shouldn’t make it out of the locker room. If we had a real AD
-
Are you ready to fire him at halftime

how humilitating near the end of the game lofton and adway smirking and talking trash during lulls in play. they f'ing owned the billikens. we were the bonnies b!tch by the end of the game. thanks to another rousing horrible game coaching and preparation instance. what i feel was uncovered Friday night, we have the 3rd best coach, the third best point guard and will likely finish 3rd in the conference standings.
Roy you are spot on other than i don't put this on Yuri. And Ford is worse then 3rd best

Did you also tell the party you were with that ..."The Bills are the better team"?
Absolutely. We are better at almost every position. Lofton schooled Yuri a bit but this game was all about poor coaching and bad plays. Not talent
-
Whiz, I said exactly that to the party I was with. Twin towers and either foul or push him out. They had nothing left. But Ford is too dumb to realize this.
Whenever I coach my team If the opposition only has one big man and he gets in foul trouble we foul him out of the game… seems simple but I guess not

Lol some of y'all man. I wonder if y'all ever played any sport ever lol
Not only did I play (albeit not well)…I have also been a successful coach at the 13u level for quite some time….

This game was primarily lost by that 16-0 first half, 8 minute Bona run and SLU lull, after Schmidt switched to the match up zone. A 25-14 SLU lead reversed into a 30-25 Bona lead. That was the most discombobulated Zone Offense during that 8 minute nightmare that I’ve ever seen.
Well beating the matchup zone would require prepping by a real coach

And the associated first round NIT loss.
Thanks for a sensible reply!!

Travis Ford is an absolute DOLT. How can you get outcoached in every big game. Sure, the Dayton win was sweet. Loved it. But the talent showed out that day. Ford did have a good plan to limit Holmes. Plus Anthony Grant is a fool also. But Schmidt coaches circles around Ford EVERY TIME. We had a red hot team, finally getting some national attention facing a fading opponent at home. Team has a ton of energy coming out, runs out to a big lead. Then Schmidt changes things up...and one 16-0 run and 20-5 end to a half later, its over.
And honestly, if the Bonnies shot 3s in the first half, game would've been a blowout. And will Jimmerson EVER hit a big shot in a big spot. Wake me up when he does..because it never happens. And you bring in Williams at the end of the game after not using him all game...desperation moves. And lets keep driving into Osun with small players, because you know that works.
This team has no shot at an at large. So unless we win that tournament again its NIT Bound.

Watching the Jordair thing live today was a treat. I hope all the annoying Dayton fans have a nice cold drive back home. So tired of "lets go flyers" in our house.

The gameplan today to take away Holmes was good. He has his moments. Complete performance

Traore had a trial by fire tonight. Huge block late that kept the Bills in it.
Play of the game.
you can all say I’m a troll but I’m raising a big glass to the boys tonight. Ford is an idiot but man Yuri wanted this
-
Do we finally fire Ford after the game if we blow this? Another disaster in the making.

Good for them. I liked D. Ford when he showed up. Seems like a good coach. Hopefully they keep going.
This was a fluke win. Mosely had FORTY.
-
With every Auburn win, I remember how we had that team tired out dead and beat. Then Ford decided to stop driving the bus for 9 minutes of game clock....
-
Mason just gave us a blueprint of how to handle dayton. Blanket Elvis and deny holmes the ball. Make smith shoot 20 shots... Holmes only took 3.
Travis Ford is not a good coach
