I'm more concerned about Bell's conditioning. Anyone else feel that way? That is because you did not bother to come to the free practice last Saturday where you would have watched the "new Jacobs" in action. You would also have been able to see Bell running non stop for two full minutes (with everyone else) from one end of the court to the other either dribbling and shooting or defending.

Perhaps even more than the "starters". Regarding Bell ..... maybe he has earned the start. Maybe Ford is just trying to boost his confidence. Me, just happy to get the season started. SLU needs more solid players than just "the 5". Here's hoping we see a bunch of solid players on the floor tonight. Absolutely agree with this. This is a game that does not count for the season, period. Therefore, it is the ideal way to actually test the new players against other players that they have never seen or played with before. This is not a game we have to win at all costs, or a game that we want to win by 50 pts. It is a game to test ideas and concepts and see how they work, and using what players.

Until you made the french comparison a requirement, i never thought of that. Pretty high demand for a freshman saying he has to be an equal of one of maybe our top all time 5 or better inside players to be allowed to play without critical questioning. Seems to me if he is the best player at his position right now he should play no questions asked and then admire his improvement over the next four years. 4 hours ago, billiken_roy said: tillman played 20 mpg in both his freshman and sophomore seasons. i doubt the average mpg for freshmen and sophomores across the country in D1 basketball is that high. apparently you want/expect bell to be a dominate all american center from day one playing 30+ minutes and scoring 20 and getting 12 rebounds. guess what, he wouldnt be here if that was the case. we all recognized he and diarra were projects. the fact it now appears he is further along than all expected and he might average nearly 20 minutes a game as a freshman should be a time of joy and expectations of greatness that might happen down the road. for some reason you want to throw cold water and are upset he is getting his chance sooner than any of use expected. not the sheltiedave i thought i knew from years ago. again to use ian vouyoukas as a yardstick. go back and view his career statistics. my guess based on the fact bell is going to start the season as our center and likely hold that spot all year, bell is ahead of ian's career at this point and will likely easily exceed ian's freshmen statistics. explain to me how being ahead of one of the best if not the best center in billiken history at his point in his career is a bad thing? -this is just funny and exposing dlarry likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we hardly knew him. I'm still ticked at Willie because had he put in the work, ie academic, and came back with Kwamain we'd likely have gone to the sweet 16 and possibly further in '12. almaman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Predictions for tonight: - HF is in mid season form with an improved FT stroke hitting 3 of 5 from the stripe; - Thatch will score 15 - Jacobs shows he belongs - Yuri with 6 assists - Hargrove will look a little behind the others, but will have a monster dunk - Perkins scores a quiet 10 points - Our offense and defense will be WIPs, but the identity on both sides of the floor that will get the fans excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
