Shut this fμcking thread down!
I agree. I guess people on this board can't help themselves

Except for the fact that the President himself is stating things directly in conflict with what the leading world health experts are saying. That's not plain old "politics," that's just blatant ignorance at best, willful malfeasance at worst.
It always amazes me the lack of self awareness on both sides of the aisle. One side accuses the other side of something they are also doing.

The right wing media, Limbaugh, Hannity, et al has turned vulnerable people’s brains to mush. Such a disservice to the country. Rip me all you want but I’m right and you’re wrong.
Rant over.
Note to board monitors: Ding me if you want for talking politics. I try to limit posts here to sports, but all the ridiculous crap that’s been posted about the coronavirus situation has pi$$ed me off. The last thing I’ll say is it’s pretty dang pathetic that there has to be a negative political spin put on everything that happens.
Sometimes things just happen and that’s the reality of it.
Please just stop. You think you are right and the other side thinks they are right. It would best to keep politics off this board and out of the virus situation

No fans would make for a very very weird atmosphere. I think we've actually played better in hostile environments (@ Rhody, @ Dayton, @ Richmond, vs K-State in KC) than we have in relatively empty gyms / arenas (@ DUQ, @ LaSalle, @St. Joes). Therefore, I'm not ready to say that a playing in an empty arena would benefit us.
I agree. We feed off the energy. Positive or negative.

I don't believe I have ever heard of a player leaving a program going back to that program.

-CFord says in the interview we only have 12 schollies in use this season, so Weaver plus one equals two
One is taken so you would need two more to add a couple of pieces.

Sounds great. meet me in the spot you took the picture and I'll bring you the money.
I understand optics and perspective. I said it was close to the rim. His vertical is in the 40" range. I don't know why this is such a big debate? I understand the coaches exaggerating his vertical. But do you think they'd do it by a literal foot?
I dont get the debate either. Anyone that has seen him play knows he has a high vertical leap. If it is 40" or 45 " who cares. It's a lot.

That's why you went on your cute little meme rant the other day? Because you don't care? If you're going to act like a normal person, I'm more than happy to have you posting on this board...even if I don't agree with you. If you're gonna behave like an ignorant 6th grader, I'll just put you on ignore and be done with it.
You probably should have followed your own advice. It has worked for years on this board.

Was Jim Crews on Coach Fords radio show?

Extremely long extremely lanky.
50% ft shooter so we gotta get him.
People with Marfans syndrome have very long arms and legs. Long fingers are also a symptom along with heart issues..
-
The Collins, Goodwin, French, Perkins, Weaver lineup is good offensively but they get killed on the boards.
-
The difference in the game was rebounding. They had 10 more than us and Goodwin only had 3

How did this thread turn into talking about freethrows again. There. is a thread just for that topic

6’5 according to this interview. It doesn’t say when this was recorders. If he is still 6’5” he won’t be a stretch 4.

The reason we have patience with some is because it is evident they are working hard. Is the offense really that hard to grasp? Is defensive positioning really that hard to grasp?
TJ came in during Perkins’ hot streak in the 2H and started arguing/asking(?) JP where he was supposed to go in the offensive set. It’s February.
I love TJ’s potential. I expect to see a huge jump this summer now that he knows where he needs to focus. Right now, as a fan I am frustrated with him on the floor.
Ford said after the game that Hargrove was playing out of position. That is what caused the confusion. He was playing the 5

Ford said they took two teams best shot in Philadelphia and found a way to win both without playing their best. They tried a lot of different things on Daly and nothing worked.

Just watched a replay. Our foul trouble changed the game. Anyone else notice a girl flip the camera off during a timeout with a minute to go in regulation?

I still think Jimmy deserved more minutes against Davidson just to take pressure off of Has.
His 3 quick turnovers kept him on the bench

One other thing: Carter Chapley noted this in his last article, but Goodwin has a foul issue. 4 fouls again.
The only game it hurt was the Dayton game and he had to foul at the end of regulation to get the ball back. He has missed few minutes because of fouls
-
They made 19 more freethrows then us. You have to play good defense without fouling and we didn't tonight.

I hope he applies and get a medical redshirt. His level of conditioning can't be great at this point. Seems like a waste to use up this season with what, 13 - 15 games left? His impact would be minimal this year, my opinion.
If Fred recovers fully love the roster next year. Nice class spread. Question Hankton for next year. Looks like a bust to me. But, maybe he surprises and stays and has "Conklin Summer". But if he goes would love a shooting JC or grad transfer big + best available guard (PG or combo guard).
- Perkins, Goodwin, French
- Jacobs, Hankton?
- Collins, Hargrove, Bell, Diarra
- Thatch, Jimerson, Strickland
Thatch would be a sophomore

A couple of you have mentioned that Davidson has no one to match up with HF. I see that as both a good and a bad thing. Yes he played a great game against UD on the boards. 17 rebounds were outstanding, he was like a man against boys, including Toppin, but in games like that he can also hurt us in two ways. He, and JG for that matter, tend to be so focused on scoring that he (they) don't see, or look for, teammates open for shots. While their aggressiveness translates into many points and boards, it also costs us in missed opportunities for wide open shots by Billikens not named French or Goodwin. These missed opportunities are compounded when he and JG are fouled and we all know what that means. One point, at best ! Let's face it guys and gals, HF and JG have proven what they are from the free throw line so there is no sense complaining about it. It is what it is, a combined less than 50%, and it's not going to improve at this point in the season. What TF needs to do is find a way to minimize the impact of that weakness.
If Davidson doubles or employs a "hack a HF" strategy, I hope we see the ball passed out to other open Bills. At some point HF needs to consider an assist as just, if not more, important to the teams' success as fighting off a double team and going to the line for a possible one point.
Yes, as I said above, HF played a GREAT game against UD and many other teams this year, and yes we would not have been leading UD through most of the game without him leading the charge, but when he goes into his "I'm going to shoot no matter what" mode, as in the last part of the Dayton game, it can produce the same outcome as we just witnessed. Davidson probably has the best coach in the A 10 and my fear is that we wind up shooting less than 50% from the line based on his gameplan. While that might work for us, depending on other facets of the game, it could be a killer if they light it up from beyond the arc. Kind of a repeat of the final 6 minutes of Friday's game.
All that being said, I see a road win as the team fights off the discouragement from a tough loss.
GO BILLS !
UNRELATED FOOTNOTE: Watching the replay of the UD game, Weaver was taken out of the game in the final minute of the first half and was talked to by our assistant coach. TW was obviously mad as HF was sitting next to him on the bench and put his arm around him both on the bench and while walking off the court. Whatever was said to Weaver, we was not happy. It seems clear that he was not injured. I hope he recovers and becomes a big part of the team the rest of the year. We need his 3 pt shooting.
According to Pistols records list Goodwin is on pace to finish in the top 10 for assists for Juniors. French gets double teamed everytime he has the ball and passes out of the double teams numerous times a game.

Announcer on GW game said SLU was his pick for best team in A10 other than Dayton. He said last night's game was an instant classic. Said keep your eye on Javonte Perkins.

TJ is going to be really freaking good.
I was happy to see him play a lot of minutes. We are going to need him. Played good defense

Whose minutes is the new big going to take? I like what we have plus Jimerson and Thatch.
