3star_recruit Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Great effort by our guys. Congrats to the refs for taking Hasahn out of the game again. OSU must have borrowed them from Houston. Hopefully young Jedi Goodwin has triumphed over his shooting mental block through his mastery of The Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 French and Goodwin need help. Bess and foreman are inconsistent. No one else can be counted on. I’ll keep watching but man this season stinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed free throws, turnovers, horrible interior defense. The beavers were not better than us. We knew missed free throws and turnovers were going to be a problem before the season. Our interior defense is subpar without French on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, this time they both shot poorly from the field on the same night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Saying the administration does not care about athletics because of what is happening with Situation 2 is simplistic and honestly rather stupid. They do care about athletics but maybe not the way you define caring about it. Your expectations are not the defining position for how to care about athletics. They allocate funds for athletics, they built an arena, they hired an expensive coach the basketball team not to mention that the President attendance most every home game - if athletics were not important he would not waste his time. Now they are apparently a bit befuddled by this matter and maybe suffering from what happens to many - feet of clay. They can still salvage this matter but time is running out. Not sure if there is a conduct board that are all women or not - seems a rather odd setup given the current mindset of trying to make things look more like the population it serves. I do agree the school has sat on this long enough and needs to fish or cut bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Eubanks, 29 minutes, 12 points 6 rebounds French + Foreman + Anthony, 44 minutes, 8 points, 8 rebounds. When French goes to the bench, we just can't control a decent pivot. Okay, assume Foreman is injured? He did take a nasty fall last night and we know his back/hip is a problem. French needs to learn how to stay on the floor. No, the refs aren't targeting him. Ford needs to make French his #1 priority, teaching him how to defend without fouling and certainly improving the FT. Hack-A French will be the norm. Welmer will be another body, but he doesn't defend the post any better than Anthony or Foreman. The infusion of the additional players won't solve this problem.

Actually, Welmer started to play with a bit more defensive grit towards the end of last season. I know i'm biased, but man, it seems like some ticky tack b.s. fouls are consistently being called against Has. There was one in the first half last night where the offensive man used the off-hand to push Has as the guy drove to the hoop. Foul called on Has. He likely fouls too much, but Has isn't getting ANY breaks from the refs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkielBreakers Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The problem with this game was the title to the thread, flooding beavers? They live for floods, and control flooding.

brianstl Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 French gets in foul trouble, but so does just about every other freshman that plays a similar style to French. If you want more scoring from our other post players, get Henriquez and Bishop on the court. When teams have to stop clogging the lane French, Foreman and Anthony will all have more quality chances to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Eubanks's numbers were under his season average. If our guys put up anywhere near their season average, we win this game. Foreman is a shell of what he was at Rutgers and Anthony is just a guy. Therefore, we're relying on our freshman werewolf to be on every night. Not going to happen. Hope Welmer can play in games starting next week and is back to his normal self a few weeks after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Foreman appears to be damaged goods and Anthony is tofu. Eubanks was sick last night, with an IV right before game time. And he still had a pretty good game against our trio. Eubanks is not even All-Pac 12 material, yet he scored at will when he got the ball down low. French staying on the floor another 5 minutes maybe would have been enough to turn the game into a win.

Even a beaver can handle only so much. However, the Billikens' stream is rather low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean Anthony is: "A product that is too general in use or appearance, meaning it does not have any special features?" Or does it mean, "Totally and Obviously Fouled Up?"
