I am sure Ford has tried to address his players differently based on their needs but Foreman got all the accolades last year so why is he so fragile this year - maybe he isn't who knows none of us are in the room but he should have taken some strength from his play and success last year and carry it over to this year. So you admit that you did not hold the rejected person's hand and say it was not your fault but mine for turning you down. Of course if they came back a year or two later and fixed their issues then they did "man up".

Bay Area Billiken Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The alleged vast Jesuit conspiracy against Dayton continues ... That was a very good and much needed win for the Billikens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point we should count on missing a number of remotely contested shots in the paint (Goodwin is just really struggling to finish) and expecting much higher than 62.5% from the line is foolish. Last night Isabell was 5-5, Thatch was 4-4, Bess 3-3, and Goodwin 2-3 for a total of 14-15 or 93.3%, so the guards shot it well and did so in the 2nd half when it seemed like Dayton was making a bit of a run and we were getting a little stalled on offense. I mean how many more points would you expect to get from the line? The misses were from Foreman (4-11) who shoots 52.9% from the line and French (2-6) who shoots 33.8% from the line. 70% would have added 2 points and I guess those would have had to come from Foreman based on percentages. 2 points on free throws and another 8 coming from point blank misses by JGood who was 0-8 from that range was my point that the final score, my opinion, did not reflect how the Billikens dominated UD is all nothing more than that. Our team grabbed the lead last night and never looked back and that was fun to see. No complaints loved the game I am happy to see JGoods free throw shooting is improving and have noticed that he has slowed down shooting free throws. The guards who are supposed to hit free throws did and I understand French and Foreman are what they are, this is our team. It is all good, the wife and I had a enjoyable ride home after the game to Jeffco. We talked about the game this morning and Agreed what a great night.

johnbj14 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Quietly, Thatch has the second highest 3% on the team. Granted only at 31 percent, but only Bess is in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The real difference between Wiley's 31.3% 3 point scores and Thatch's 31.00% 3 point scores is simple: Wiley will be gone next year, we will have Thatch 3 more years to improve playing for us.

Pistol Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I don't think Thatch's percentages are super meaningful taken as a whole. It's the trendline that I like. He wasn't above 30% until last night. Hopefully it continues and he's mid-30s by the end of the season, which would be in line with my preseason hopes for him.

Absolutely, how much more fun was it walking out of that game last night? Really nice to see the team bring it from the opening tip and not let up much (even when French and Bess were on the bench). It seemed like anytime Dayton made a run we always had the answer, but just overall Dayton couldn't handle us either on the glass or our defense (it just seemed like they had a really tough time getting good looks). Beating Dayton always just leaves me in a good mood, but how we played last night made it even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There it is. You're new. Its hard to make sense of it now, but you'll learn how people who join the board often come in hot and it upsets people because you cant tell if their trolls are not. You sorta have to prove your not a troll first. Your issue is stating you didnt watch the game(against a big rival) and you're new to the board. Typically this SCREAMS troll. Not saying you are, but time will tell, ya dig? billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that comes in new has a bit of a curve to adjust and be accepted. Once you arouse the troll sensor it's hard to dig out. Unless adding something or agreeing with something it seems a little uncool, assholish to post - sh*t about others here.
