AlumniFan Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 not a bad night for the crowd either. 8,462 on a rainy Thursday night Impressive turnout for the students too given most, I assume, are still on break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 not a bad night for the crowd either. 8,462 on a rainy Thursday night Translated, that's 769 more fans than VCU even holds. That was a good win for St. Louis U, a good win by our veteran, battle tested team. The Billikens came through at crunch time, while UMass went right into the tank. We have a good team, hopefully NCAA Tournament bound again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliKat Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 AND! I thought they were really loud and involved for the most part... My section was on its feet quite a bit... and im in a pretty senior citizen section... A lot of it couldve been my broham and I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Chazz williams is a hell of a player and exciting to watch, but did anybody else notice that he did the "raise the roof" jester after his long three? For a flashy player he sure could work on his celebrations. That was pretty gay back in the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny karate Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wow what a game....the crowds should just get bigger and louder. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk18 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 They gave out free tickets to faculty and staff as well as non-undergrad students. I think that helped. It was a great start to conference play and I hope the fans keep coming and the win streak continues! GO BILLS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk18 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I heard that the UMASS assistant coach wearing the pin stripes is the mascot for Larry Flynt's Hustler club across the river: http://stlouishustlerclub.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Ken R Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I heard that the UMASS assistant coach wearing the pin stripes is the mascot for Larry Flynt's Hustler club across the river: http://stlouishustlerclub.com He looked like be belonged on a different stage. Quite the outrage. Why would anyone think that looked good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I said he belonged in one of two places: a 1920s bank robbery or a church in Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 His suit jacket could double as a king size comforter. Anybody think maybe Evans is hurt? He's not ballhawking like he used to. He doesn't have the same lift. He's not shooting jumpers at all, only driving to the basket. I don't see him running around screens either. He's been good defensively, maybe better than he was last year, he's just missing something. Maybe he's bogged down in this offense. He doesn't seem to be getting any openings. He's forcing a lot of shots at the rim and he's unable to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Random note: when Morgan got hurt he sounded awful. He was screaming at the top of his lungs. It sounded like a season ender but umass is reporting its a knee sprain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 DE does seem to be in an offensive funk right now. He's got to show he can hit those mid range jumpers, because it seems when he slashes the D just drops 2-3 guys back into the lane and make life difficult for him. Also, would like to see CE more involved in the offense, but he's not getting many open looks at the 3. Would guess the book on him is play him really tight on the 3 because he won't blow by you with a fake. Staff should look at setting up some off the ball screens for him and get him some backdoor baskets. Overall, great game against the type of team that usually gives us fits, ie quick pressure D with extremely long players. Some of those UMass guys seem to have wingspans of 8 feet. Good to see RL and JJ bringing it last night, especially RL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm glad #1) Morgan got hurt and shortened their bench and did not contribute against us, and #2) that it's now only a knee sprain. Recover, contribute and beat all the teams we need you to beat as we hold the head-to-head tiebreaker here. That sure buckled like an ACL but also having had a knee sprain, both are "take-your-breath-away" painful. I walked off the court the day I tore my ACL and drove home. Are there nerves in ligaments as in muscle? Just didn't hurt much in terms of post-event pain. Could never run again for some time afterwards though. Never fixed it; at 40, didn't need to be 05 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
