Bills By 40

And Avery stated that he was never as good as Yuri, hmm

I'm looking forward to going to Chicago every year.

*vegan scorpio crossfitter...

Just booked my trip, wasn't going to go but I couldn't resist. See y'all there, ruck the Famblers and Bills by a billion.

Market capture, probably. Belmont specifically because we'd all love a Nashville trip every(/other) year

I reckon we lead the nation in numbers of players on the roster who have been hit by cars!

I can agree with that! It's crazy that we don't try more complicated offensive schemes with the talent on our roster. A lot of Yuri's perceived shortcomings are IMO a direct result of the coaching or lack thereof

We're having a completely different conversation if Perkins hadn't risen from the grave and spread the good word yesterday. I don't fully disagree with anything you said. I wish we ran a better offense and had better contributions from players across the board but I can only ask for so much. If guys start doing what we expect them to do everything will look better with or without Yuri on the floor. (ESPECIALLY Okoro)

Turnover rate was down by 2, assist rate was down by almost 6. Turnovers may be directly attributed to Okoro's lack of PT or the fact that we were playing a bad GW team. No sh!t shooting % is up when GJ and the JP's combine for 22-38 shooting but imagine the score when we have a team playing that hot and one of the best passer college basketball has seen in decades leading the ship

Just saw all this, appreciate you but also want to clarify my original comment was intended to read as friendly banter and not anger. It was a great idea you had though

This is your cease and desist order. You have 24 hours to respond appropriately @BillsBy40

It would've received mixed feedback from both extremes. I would've leaned towards the "Fu*k yeah, Ford" side of things

My crew was begging for him to retaliate. Yelling "sock him" and "throw a chair!!" and the way he took his exit we thought there was a chance lol. I don't care who you are, had Ford clocked Rogaine square in the face it would've been 1) justified and 2) an all-time memorable college basketball moment

Additionally, milestones for next game: With just 2 assists (741) Yuri climbs to 59th over Jamar Smiley (Illinois State, 95-98) With just 6 assists (745) Yuri climbs to 57th over Mark Woods (Wright State, 89-93) and Sean Miller (Pitt, 88-92) With just 8 assists (747) Yuri climbs to 56th over Javon Levi (UT Arlington, 18-22) With just 13 assists (752) Yuri climbs to 54th over T.J. McConnell (Arizona, 11-15) | 13 or more assists 7x this season With just 14 assists (753) Yuri climbs to 53rd over David Edwards (Texas A&M, 90-94) | 14 or more assists 6x this season With just 17 assists (756) Yuri would be tied for 50th with three other players | 17 or more assists 2x this season *I began italicizing "just" when we got to the point where it seems easy for Yuri but is in reality a very tall order*

Yuri's average rose slightly to 10.9/game after last night. That adjustment made to the calculations above (15 remaining games) would put Yuri at 903 assists on the year, in sole position of 14th all time and 31 assists behind Gary Payton at 12th / 47 assists behind Greg Anthony in the 10th spot. I repeat: Regardless of how this season shapes out you owe it to yourself as a "Billiken fan" to enjoy the hell out of this show that we're watching because we most certainly will never see it on our court in our uniform again. Yuri is an all-time great point guard.

This picture is also from November of 2021 against Central Arkansas, I think Gibby is much stronger looking now than he was a year(+) ago. FWIW the roster lists him as 5 pounds heavier now than then (200->205#) but I think it's a greater difference than that. He especially looks bigger in his legs. More importantly, I still think they look the same size in those pictures. The biggest difference is that Trey is tanner, which we all know makes muscle definition more visible.

Another fun discovery to add to Yuri's resume this year: His 3.1 A/TO ratio is good for 15th in the nation. Of everyone ranked ahead of him in that metric he is averaging no less than 2.8 more assists/game, and as many as 7.8 more assist/game. On the assist/game list, 2nd place Markquis Nowell of Kansas State is tied with Yuri's 3.1 A/TO ratio but is a full 2 assists/game behind him on the leaderboard. Third place Tyler Kolek from Marquette is beating Yuri with a 3.6 A/TO ratio but is a full 2.8 assists/game behind him. Fourth place Jalen Pickett is ahead of all the pack here with a 3.77 A/TO ratio but, as you'll see with the pattern here, is a whopping 3.5 assists/game behind Yuri. Of the rest of the Top 10 assists/game leaders only one is in the top 10 for A/TO ratio, one other is in the top 25, two others are in the top 50, and two do not appear in the top 50 at all. Yuri Collins is really f*cking good.

This was a real Kansas paper. Objectively funny.

Does this guy look more physically imposing than Gibson to you? Because he doesn't to me - quite the same, actually, just a bit tanner.

You know who had a bigger game that day? Yuri Collins. Oduro had 32P/6R/3B/2S/4TO Yuri had 35P/13A/5R/5S/3TO, was 10/10 from the free throw line, and of course had the 2OT game-winning buzzer beater.

So you're not a college basketball fan, you're a SLU fan. That's okay by all means but Gradey Dick is one of the best freshmen in the country. Averaging 14P/5R/2A/1.5S on 46% shooting from the field, 47% from 3, 82% from the line. He's a stud. And he stands 6'8" 205lbs to Jimerson's 6'5" 205lbs. The difference is in their surroundings.
