  1. Not saying he is Hansbrough. Just plays like him. Big, meaty pest that you love to have on your team, hate to play against.
  2. Perkins is just a machine. It's like he's playing on rookie mode out there.
  3. Linssen has a Tyler Hansbrough vibe to him. I dig it.
  4. Holy fuuuhhhh!! Time to break out the good whiskey! Please Lord, no more teases, please just let us have this next season unhindered.
  5. Overall great day for our at large chances minus freakin Utah St. Let's get redemption on Dayton--I want a game where French doesn't get BS fouls and can go full bore at Toppin. This is a hungry team--let's effing go!
  6. It's more about how we lost than losing to UMass. Just complete loss of focus and Ford had a tough one too. Might've been what we needed though because the guys have played with a serious fire lit under their @ss since it happened.
  7. Bell has made incredible strides in his footwork and finishing ability just since the start of this season. It's obvious he's put a ton of work into his body and his game. He's going to be an absolute stud his senior year with his work ethic.
  8. Never too late. Starting to Billieve in this squad. Ford has learned from his mistakes and made some great rotations the last few games. Can't have another let down like at UMass... that loss still bugs me.
  9. We have figured out our formula the last 3 games. It's coincided with some huge strides in Jimmy, Yuri, and Hargrove's maturation process. If we continue to get these type of contributions from the young guys, and they continue to play with poise beyond their years, look out A-10
  10. Weather the storm and (kinda cringing now) hit our FTs
  11. Can we get Lunardi out of here? This guy pops up every March like some welfare leprechaun with just God awful takes. Worse that ESPN treats him as some sort of deity.
  12. Truly a dream scenario. But if we keep the momentum we've been playing with recently, no reason it can't happen.
  13. Thinking if we win convincingly at Rhody (10+ points), win out, get the 4 seed, and beat Dayton in the A10 tourney there's a path that exists where we are an at large team, probably 11-12 seed. I mean I'd prefer a repeat party in Brooklyn, but think the SLU at large hopes aren't entirely dead yet.
  14. The basketball team has had enough turmoil and turnover the past few years. We don't need anymore of that and certainly shouldn't mess with the strong chemistry we finally have, esp amongst the St Louis guys and esp for a young, maturing team. CG was a thorn in the side to everyone in the program when he was here. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was so young, but he also hasn't shown he's taken any significant strides from the point he was at when he arrived.
  15. FT shooting is all about developing a consistent, fluid, rhythmic FT stroke. His shot is so clanky and hard because he just hunches over and flicks his wrist. No coordinated upward trajectory, just a haphazard forward flick. I've never seen someone shoot FTs without a smooth upward motion and, frankly, I'm not sure if anyone would be successful using the shot form he uses. Don't want to blame coaching, but it is kind of shocking no one on the college level has stepped in and corrected that. He's definitely capable of shooting better, and probably would if he settled on a routine.
  16. Yuri finishes tied for 4th in SLU history for most assists in one game with 12 ast. Tied with: Jim Roder '85 Charles Newberry '88 Bill Moulder '77
  17. Great win end to end tonight. Most complete game we've played that I can remember in quite a long time.
  18. Having to take out your two top players bc they can't shoot FTs makes late game margin for error so thin. Luckily we built such a big lead tonight.
  19. Teams always close on us when we play the FT game. It's a pretty glaring Achilles heel.
  20. Oh man...Hargrove really is a poster hunter. Would've been incredible if he threw that one down.
  21. Well this game is giving me a confidence boost for Rhody. Let's make a clean sweep on Ram named squads
