Old guy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Back home from the game. It was not pretty, this is Ford's opinion as well, but we won. A win is a win. French and Isabell had wonderful nights but we could very well have lost this one up to the very end of play. A win is a win. Now let's go beat LaSalle and Fordham.

The shooting will come and go (mostly go), but rebound, defend, protect the ball and we’ll still win most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniorbill76 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I believe I saw the blue light on the Fetz while driving on Compton but then didn’t see it while getting on 40, but it’s a tough angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I saw Wiley leaving the SLU bench for the locker room well before the game was over...hoping he just needed to use the bathroom.

billikenfan05 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Rewatched the game while falling asleep last night. Holloway should have been called for a tech with 12 min to go in the second half for taunting after he was fouled by Foreman.

RiseAndGrind Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The big dude also elbowed French right in the head with a couple minutes left to play. Wasn’t called. French thought he was bleeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Watching UMASS in warmups I was a bit concerned with Baptiste's size but man he was in over his head against French and wasn't even able to take advantage of KC guarding him.

HoosierPal Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Coach wasn't happy with the win. He told Rammer if we play like that we won't win any championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 -the refs were horrible for both sides, we can't make shots but made enough to win a squeaker, HF that was fun to watch, I'll go real positive and say a good team wins a game when their best player has an off night and hope that is us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills73 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 We need Wiley to show back up. Maybe he is still slow to come back due to his injury but we don't beat Seton Hall without his 17 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Fred unfortunately was a big reason we couldn't put them away. Going 0-4 but missing the front end of 1 and 1's a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 i predict we will see more of last night's french. well at least the non-foul shooting french we saw last night. i have to see the 70% foul shooting french more to believe it. honestly, that was such a breath of fresh air and i wouldnt doubt if the success he had at the line also contributed to the rest of his game last night as his poor free throw shooting had to be really getting in french's head prior to last night. that umass team should be better than it is. the coach is a fool. when foreman fouled out with like 6-7 minutes remaining and the 4 fouls french re-enters the game, tell me why he didnt bring holloway back immediately and then when he did, they didnt really try to get him the ball in an effort to get french fouled out. head scratcher.

When he returned, he was masked. But no one ever said if he re broke it. I don't think the announcers knew he was playing w/ that mask earlier in the season. They seemed surprised he got fitted for a mask so quickly. He also had a piece of cotton stuffed in one nostril, but it came out later. French had his aha game last night. Still waiting for JGood's. He missed a lot of shots when he got to the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 what goodwin is bringing to the billikens right now since his return to the point guard position is the huge reduction in turnovers. now if we can just pick up the pace a little, jordan can be in the zone he performs best overall in.

I’m guessing UMass was worried about Holloway’s fouls as well. The last five minutes or so, he was trying to do offense/defense subs with Holloway on offense whenever he had the chance. I agree though, with Foreman out and French with 4, he should have played Holloway the entire time and dared French to foul him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
