  1. This is probably the funniest comment I’ve read on this board. Thanks for the chuckle.
  2. Sounds like Barkley agrees with you. If I’m an Alabama fan, I’m taking a couple of Xanax after that game…complete street brawl.
  3. This Grand Canyon crowd/game is insanely intense….and it’s kind of cool to see a former Billiken star sitting there in the middle of it all….
  4. Exactly. The courtside demeanor is what I liked least about Tillet’s predecessor, and one of the qualities I like most about Tillet. I could not deal with screamers in any sport I ever played (with the one exception of folk style,) and I think most players feel the same way.
  5. Both Mia and Ashleigh in the portal…which is why you did not see either on the bench last night. Connor always seemed athletic and skilled enough to handle whatever pace the game presented when she entered…always wondered why she did not play more often??
  6. Hombre was smooth. Made it look so easy. What might have been…..
  7. I almost agree with you. I think the St. Joseph game where Perkins went Mano a Mano with an unstoppable Ryan Daly tops any of Sincere’s fab performances..
  8. I get the Hargrove comparison from a pure athleticism perspective, but I see Thames as more technical, more refined. More of a Nesbitt type - but much more unselfish and without the anger issues. Too unselfish at times for certain… I do know the staff widely regarded him as the player with the most upside..even more than Parker.
  9. That was fun to watch! Have to love the announcer calling Martinez a “cheat code off the bench”
  10. Ha! I’m going to guess you’re one of the few fellows on this board who knows where Djibouti it, let alone been there….and it is amazing how one finds Heineken everywhere - in the most remote corners of the globe. Amazing Dutch entrepreneurship!
  11. Any insight as to how we looked against City Next and Indiana? Is Moore playing?
  12. He’s officially “Director of Scouting”, which means he’s on the road watching UVA’s next opponent most of the year. You won’t see him on the bench at many games and doesn’t have much to do with recruiting. Helps Bennett devise game plans and identify strengths/holes in the upcoming opponent.
  13. Based on games at which I was physically present, this is #2. Number 1 was Goodwin’s driving layup at the buzzer to take the 1/17/20 Dayton game into overtime. Don’t think I’ve ever seen Chaifetz go as crazy as it did at that precise moment…place was packed….insane!
  14. Tech was brutal, but if I’m going to pick only one reason for why we lost, it was our 3 point shooting. Sincere a solid 4-6, our other three big guns: 2-6, 1-5, 0-5….and many of them wide open. VCU did not miss their open shots. We’re not going to win any shootouts with those kind of percentages.
  15. I’m just saying these are our five best players. Play them at the same time. Fun to watch. Let the chips fall where they may….
  16. Players on the floor for the vast majority of the time need to be Parker, Hughes, Thames, TJ and Gibson…..no big man, but I don’t care. This is far and away our most effective set. Parker and Hughes share the point duties.
  17. Next two games will tell us if this was an anomaly or a corner turn. I know I’ll be at the VCU game…shouting my head off and converting another date into a Bills fan. FIND THE OPEN MAN!
  18. I hear you. I’m a half full guy. Saw a path out of the darkness in the last game. Now let’s give it full gas!
  19. They score 84, we score 85. Simple…and we have the shooters/athletes to do it. I have complete faith that an open GJ, Parker or LHII will make the vast majority of their shots. And possibly add Thames to the mix…have not seen him put up enough 3’s to gauge. I don’t think the defense is going to improve, not going happen. So only option is to get it done on offense. Again, simple….
  20. This! Our guys finally start looking for the open man rather than forcing shots when well guarded…we’ll be tough to beat in the A10. It’s really this simple.
  21. I can definitely use your tickets. Will message you.
  22. We truly are operating at a Power 5 level in Women’s soccer. Nice to see - at least for the insignificant minority of those of us on this board who enjoy a good soccer game…;)
  23. All good points, IU outplayed Washington the week prior. Should have won. SLU would have hosted the next game. One can only imagine the insane scenario……10,000 fans?? Moore is exactly what this team is missing, a technical, quick, striker. Not certain Komodi was a major piece last season; but Buendia definitely was.
  24. Definitely more Thames. No one else on the team brings what he brings.
  25. Larson was second team A10….tell me one player, let alone 11, who are better than she is in the A10. She was the best player on the field today…including the PSU players. And not taking anything away from PSU. They are the best team the Bills have played since the Rutgers team who scorched us in the second round a couple of years ago.
