Taj79 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 .... didn't watch until 5 to go. No comment. But no Manning. No Roby. No Lancona. Hmmmmmmm. How bad IS the Valley outside of Wichita State? On the flip side, VCU got handled by an instate rival Old Dominion team. Final score not that close. Fordham lost at home to arguably one of the worst Division 1 teams always in Maryland Eastern Shore. Need to heal a lot of wounds and what ails us right now.

slu72 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I could understand TL and JM. Roby not so much. My guess, and just a guess, attitude adjustment hour? Still very early, and we're going to have to live this thru kind of drama all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenboy Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Rough starts everywhere except in Wichita and Kentucky. Billykids will hit that gauntlet soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Roby has not produced much, but still puzzled as to why he didn't play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I love Roby's potential, but he was horrible the last 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The Coaching staff had reportedly labeled Roby as the "most ready" among the freshman. His stat line didn't say much, so I spent a lot of time watching him for those details that the staff may have been talking about. Never saw him as being more advanced than the other freshmen on movement without the ball, defensive help, slipping screens, etc. But I don't coach D1 ball, me not seeing a difference was no big deal. But going from starting to no PT; that was surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne's_World Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Crews was sending a message. My best guess is that certain players have not been sticking to the gameplan that the team has been emphasizing in practice. Not running the plays or fundamental defensive schemes that Crews has established. Anyone who doesn't stick to that in game situations gets benched.

SLUfan_42 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Roby/Yarbrough have the most upside to become future billiken stars with their ability to lock up on defense and attack on offense. Their athleticism (with the excpetion of Ash) is on a whole other level compared to their teammates. Their lack of minutes so far is a head scratcher for me.

Their athleticism (with the excpetion of Ash) is on a whole other level compared to their teammates. Their lack of minutes so far is a head scratcher for me. Their lack of minutes? Roby is 5th on the team in minutes and Yarbrough is 7th. Doesn't seem like a lack of minutes to me, aside from Roby in yesterday's game which could be attributed to any number of reasonable factors.

BigMouthBilliken Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Not sticking to the offensive gameplan of passing the ball around the perimeter for 25 seconds then jacking up a contested 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Assuming u r addressing Taj79, I take his couch threads as an after the game thread and enjoy them. I was going to start a new thread with this but fear possible rath but here goes; holy s**t can't believe not more talk about the sudden move from everybody plays to 3 guys don't play at all 2 starters. Radical seems to me. Not disagreeing just surprised as I am that it ain't caused more mbm musings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think we've heard enough to make rational decisions on why the 3 didn't play last night. We're all assuming either attitude or freelancing. JM and TL have not really done much to this point. But DR's the biggest mystery going from starter to pine rider.

Clock_Tower Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Do you really have such delusions that you need your own thread for your game thoughts? Nothing delusional. Taj has some excellent post game thoughts which many of us enjoy reading. Don't be jealous. Maybe one day you might write something that Billiken fans might enjoy reading. In the meantime, good luck finding someone to ride with you in your van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Play nice. We won. Let's have some thought on why Roby earned splinters instead of minutes last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Play nice. We won. Let's have some thought on why Roby earned splinters instead of minutes last night.He has been really bad the last two games. Don't think there's much more to it then that.

White Pelican Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I agree. I enjoy the couch threads. Those that don't can just not read them. How hard is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I would be guessing but I think Crews wants to establish an inside game. You need players to do two things, one is big men who fight to get open, and you need other players to get them the ball. Reggie and Brett were battling. Playing Bartley added another guard who has shown a willingness to distribute the ball, and it let McBroom play a two guard spot. I only saw the second half but it seemed to help establish an inside presence. MY may be developing into a six man that provides scoring and rebounding off the bench. Will see what they do tuesday but Saturday will be the interesting game. Bartley will have his hands full with Vanfleet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
