AlumniFan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 We got lucky tonight. While it is great to see a career night for Jordair and a very strong night in the paint for Cory, this should not have been a close game. I did not read the whole thread (I was at the game), but what did people think of the blocking call on Cody when the white ref closest to the play called a charge and the black ref standing way back called a block? Of course, the crowd went nuts as did Crews (I thought he was about to get a technical), but it was just indicative of the officiating. It seems to be much worse this year, and, no, I don't think it is some conspiracy against the Billikens. It just seems really, really bad all around. It also seems that in each game, there are two refs trying to out do each other with calls while the third ref almost seems non-existent.

It also seems that in each game, there are two refs trying to out do each other with calls while the third ref almost seems non-existent. Pretty much the worst officiating I've seen live in a while. NT also got away with AT LEAST 5 travels. One travel by Mitchell led to an unbelievably lucky three-point bank shot. The Cody charge that wasn't was an ubelievably bad call, especially as the ref closer to the call got it correct and then the other one came running in from way back to change the call, and did so in a very animated fashion. It was just that kind of night. Lucky bank shots and end of shot clock makes, travels not being called, bad fouls and just overall bad officiating. Seriously, how did the NT coach not get thrown out of the game? He was T'd up once, and was even more beligerent afterward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quit counting them. I think the point was made earlier that the stripes were trying to upstage each other all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 @BWeixScout Crews said if the X-Ray goes well, Kwamain Mitchell's return is probably on the "backside of Christmas". #SLU Hopefully he can play against SIUE on the 28th and get a game under his belt and then be ready for New Mexico on New Years Eve.

West Pine Jim Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I love the way CE plays basketball so much. Setting half court screens, drawing charges and cheap fouls. Weird hair. He's the AJ Pierzynski of college ball.Love this comparison ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Refs were terrible. I don't know who they were or where they came from.i did not recognize any of them. We did not have a home court advantage tonight,but when only 4 thousand people show up you don't deserve one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.hayes Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Love this comparison ! I dunno why it took me so long to realize it, but I can't think of a better comparison. He can be a fiery, pump up the crowd kinda guy in addition to his agitation skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 i cant imagine how many points JJ would have had if he shot the 3 ball the 6 times he was WIDE open in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm going to have to ask Tom tomorrow if he has a shot chart, but I'd be willing to bet that we missed more than a dozen shots from within two feet tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, I know that McCall missed every layup attempt he tried. That was at least 4 attempts, maybe 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbizzle09 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 couldnt finish lay ups at all Just checked the play-by-play. The team missed 8 layups or dunks. The culprits are: McCall - 3 Jett - 3 Evans - 1 (missed putback dunk) Loe - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Pine Jim Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Our helpside defense was rather weak tonight, especially during the last ten minutes. Oh well, at this point I'll say a W is a W. Would have really hated to lose to the Travelin' Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromDaEastSide Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Mr. Loe needs a come to Jesus talk or JM is going to past him by, Loe looks lost out on the court, both on Oh-fence and defense. Also, that shot has not been there all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Man Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The frontcourt combo of Barnett/Ellis/Loe cannot be allowed to happen again. Offensively you end up with a bunch of guys hovering beyond the arc and nobody even threatening to draw a double team in the low post, so either Jett or McCall end up dribbling into traffic and forcing a tough shot. Defensively I'm not going to criticize Barnett or Ellis for their effort, but they are not shot blocking threats or physical intimidators while Loe is playing in slow motion. We need either Evans, Remekun, Manning, or even Glaze (once he returns) on the floor at all times. Sure you might be able to steal a possession or two with that soft frontcourt - especially when Loe is hitting shots - but once the opposition has identified the weakness, don't wait for the next whistle, CALL A ###### TIMEOUT and get a proper forward in there. Crews nearly cost us the game with that ######. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikens747 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ellis did block two shots tonight First two of the season. Not a blocking "threat". But I like what I see from CE on the defensive end. Oh-fensively made shots and was pretty clutch down the stretch. Showed great emotion.
