Given our horrendous shooting and horrible free throw shooting, I'm not feeling too confident we can be perfect the rest of the way. We played hard and played fairly well, but unfortunately this was a must win in my book. Can't expect us to not have another mis step the rest of the way realistically. It’s NIT season at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing about Ford being the reason we lose these games need to stop. It's incredibly stupid and unfair. Ford deserves blame again. slufan13 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Ford has done a marvelous job assembling a very talented roster. Just think how much better it would be without S2, pierson meddling and the kid that left the team this year at the beginning of the season. But maybe ford needs to find an assistant that can game coach. We could very easily be undefeated this year imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Ford absolutely does not deserve tons of blame today Anyone remember when we were down 9 and there were multiple “ballgame” posts in this thread? Ford called TO and got the guys in positions to succeed. Houston is undefeated for a reason. They are really good. The offense finally looked relatively decent and Isabell was a key piece against the best defensive team we will play all year. Some of you have to get a grip on reality Edited December 16, 2018 by SLU_Nick Some blame billikenfan05, Bills_06, GBL_Bills and 6 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobillsgo Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Bad news: We will have to win the A10 tournament for a bid IMO. Less-bad news: A10 is very down this year and we may be the best of a bad group. Good shot at winning the tourney. Our 3 losses are by a combined 10 pts or something like that.

slusam Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 People on this board are so clueless. Ford's coaching didn't cause French to foul twice with a minute to go. It didn't cause Goodwin to go under a screen to allow a wide open 3 or to cause Bess to shoot a wild three with 10 seconds left. Houston executed at the end of the game and we didnt. It happens. We played a very good team on their court basically even. We are poised to have a hell of a year. willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players lost this game with their horrible FT shooting. Losing Santos and Wiley continues to hurt as well obviously. And that T on Bess and the terrible foul called on Foreman did not help the Bills' cause for sure. I am tickled pink to have Ford as the coach. The sky is not falling. The team is jelling.

Though with all the media SLU is getting, It's no surprise there's going to be a target on their back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going under the screen is 100% on ford. Goodwin should never ever even think about it in that situation. The reason...because his coach hammered it in his head that going under the screen is not acceptable. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
