moytoy12 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Houston did a really good job of quickly doubling our bigs when they caught the ball in the post, which forced our guys (Gordon, in particular) into a fair amount of mistakes. Overall, I actually think this was one of our better games. I think Ford could have done more, but we lost to a good team in a game we could have won. Unfortunately, now we have to win the FSU game or win the A-10 regular season. TheChosenOne likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100 percent with your analysis of what is going on with this team but I always go back to the last 4 seasons this is so much better that a loss to an unbeaten team does not upset me even though we should have won. Look how far our team has come from the 4 previous seasons. On to the next game go Bills. We are pretty much in agreement than other than THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SEASON. Not next year. NOW. Ugh.

Old guy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I do not think that this was a bad game for us in any way. True we did lose it, but we proved ourselves to be playing at the same level as Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkMaleBillikensJersey Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hey guys, I've already been n deemed a troll, so I don't mind speaking up. Everyone just needs to relax. We lost 3 close (essentially) road games. Today we saw the real Tremaine Isabell. If we can get him going, along with Bess, we actually have at least some what of an outside threat that defenses at least have to be aware of. And we only had (I believe) 8 turnovers against 1 of the best defenses in the country. Goodwin has not even come close to playing his best, but we all know what he's capable of. The point is, we're improving every game. It's tangible, we can see it. I don't think it's out of the question to hope we can get everyone playing well at the same time. If that happens, with our defense, we could absolutely beat FSU, and also steamroll through the A-10. We've only played 10 games. We got over 20 left to go.

3star_recruit Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I am amazed at how a team who got outrebounded, shot 37% from the field and 61% from the line were in a position to steal a game from a top 25 team on the road. If this level of toughness is going to be the identity of the SLU program going forward, then success will come eventually. This program is a healthy Dion Wiley away from dancing. Hopefully Jimerson can fill that role next year. TheChosenOne, GoBills73, Bills_06 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I post on the board because I love the Billikens...I am a Billiken, class of 2007, I lived in Reinert Hall and Lindell West. I've never (intentionally) trolled anyone on this board. I just find it hilarious that he's talking sh!t to a fellow fan of the Billikens for no reason.

The reason...because his coach hammered it in his head that going under the screen is not acceptable.

No doubt our free throw sucks but it was totally predictable. French and Goodwin were two of the worst free throw shooters in the country at their respective positions coming out of high school. Foreman was a 53% free throw shooter at Rutgers. Situation 2 and a late transfer depleted our free throw shooting corps. Those are the breaks.

Whomever is playing poorly or needs a blow. Like half the team in the SIUC game. The guy was only a sophomore and averaged 9.1 points per game and 3.8 rebounds while converting on 39.4 percent of his 3-point attempts and 78 percent from the free throw line.
