The Wiz Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 St. B is a B ...Coming off a big win over St. Joe they have a chance for post season play (NIT) The Bills (D+ ) will have their hand full for this game. The Bonnies are 2nd in the nation in FT shooting....led by Adams (31st in the nation) and Posley (75th) If it is a close game and we have to foul....we lose. This will also be something a bit different for the Bills. We are use to seeing A-10 teams that don't defend the perimeter much but protect inside. This team will defend the 3 but not as much inside. Things are turned around on offense too. The Bonnies shoot well from the outside...not a great shooting team inside. Here is what we need to do to win St B Slash......37/ 33 Reb ........34 Posley.....15pts Gregg......39%FG% Wright.......7 reb The Bills Slash..........46/ 33 / 73 Reb..............34 Pts................73 TOs...............12 Deadzones.....0 Bottomline......If we let TOs get out of hand and the sign post up ahead reads "The Dead Zone"...things could get lean in Olean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownwolves Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 This will be a tough game for your Billikens. The Bonnies are on a roll. Wiz, thebonablog .com is looking a Billikens fan to review your team. You do a good job - they're great guys and the Bonnie fans would enjoy your opinion. As for SBU beating the HATED HAWKS, they were up by 17 with 3 1/2 minutes to go! SJU is an NCAA tournament type team. The Amish taxis will be meeting your team for the trip to the Heart of the Enchanted Mountain!!! But, I feel the best game vs SLU will be when the Ladies play on Wednesday Feb 10. Go Bonnies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Might be the wine talking but we lose by 25 Sounds about right. A much $h*ttier Bonnies team beat us by 16 on senior night last year. One of those entertaining nights when we scored less than 20 in the first half at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 When SLU is an underdog to the Bonnies it really hits reminds me how badly SLU has screwed up its basketball program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It makes me sad to be a double digit underdog to the Bonnie's. It's just pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownwolves Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Box thanks for posting the video - ya gotta admit it is funny! The Billikens have been enjoying the spring type weather here in Otterville. They are feeding them well and will be rested up for the game. Coach Crews and his staff have scouted the Bonnies and have your young team ready for the Reily Center rowdies! Bonnie fans threw out the world have been waiting for the game. There is just something about us underdogs that wait for games lke this. Besides Canisus and Niagara your team is the rival game we can't wait for! Reason being? You always have such good teams! Go Billikens, beat Dayton and VCU and that St Joes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that wasn't the only cause. While there weren't any official dead zones , we did go cold coming down the stretch. Hines fouled out at 514...after that we shot 25%...2-8. Let's look at the numbers.... St B...............Proj.................Actual Slash.............37/33..............39/32......Pass...This was close enough Reb................34....................40..........Fail Posley............15pts................15pts......pass Gregg............39%FG.............33%........pass Wright.............7 Reb...............10..........fail SLU Slash............46/33/ 73........40/ 21/ 73...fail/ dismal fail/ pass Reb................34.......................29.........fail Pts..................73......................62.........fail TO...................12......................12.........pass Deadzone.........0........................0..........pass Bottomline....Overall not a bad game....1 glaring number though....3 pt shooting...21%....2 more 3's would have given us about our average ...32% and a 3 pt victory. Lest we not forget that this was a 14 1/2 pt spread and we came within a whisker of a win. The moral = Keep turnovers to 12 and skip the dead zones and we can play with anybody...with some average shooting we can win some of those games too.

Box and Won Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 This is rich! For some reason, the part where he is trying to remember the name of the Bonnie kid he tried to recruit to Utah kills me every time. "Calvin Jermaine or Jermaine Calvin. I can't remember. He sucked."
