Well, while I wouldn't use any disparaging terms (to "prove" adulthood!), I think the guys Coach Ford is referring to are the experienced newcomers. (So, yeah, I'm not going to use their names, either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really didn't have much opportunity, and when he was in the game I can't remember him getting the ball in spots to score. Also, I was thoroughly impressed with him against Seton Hall. He showed he can certainly hang and can make a difference if he gets his chance. fully agree, this board initially said jimmy bell was so out of shape he couldnt play a minute, now he is criticized for not being "dominate" on the glass. not sure why he has become the favorite whipping boy five games into his freshman year, i think reasonable people will give him time to learn d-1 ball, it will take longer than five games GBL_Bills likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 16 hours ago, HoosierPal said: 4,624 in the Jewel tonight. 7th smallest (non-CBI) attendance at Chaifetz. And it was probably only 3500 to start the 2nd half after the great majority of students cleared out ! I sure hope they all had important tests today that they had to study for last night. The minority that stayed was further depleted by 1/2 way through the 2nd half. Whoever is in charge of the SLUNATICS (or whatever they call themselves) needs to rethink when they give out the freebies. I know the team did not perform up to expected standards, but how much does the school have to give away just to get student "fans" to come, (AND STAY) at the games? Free shirts; pizza; $850 to campus groups; $200 (last night) to make 3 baskets; $50 gift certificates to a steak house??? How about some good old fashion school spirit? slu72 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis said some guys lacked toughness yesterday, and he was clearly one of them. 3star_recruit likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I went thru last season's stats to see how 3 pt totals per game compared to our new shooting marvel and was reminded of the trajectory of Isabell's season. apples2oranges maybe with this being freshman vs grad tranny but I could see a similar path in Hargrove's season. hoping anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazedandconfused Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 For the Height vs Rebounding Discussion. Everyone, other than Bell* and Jimmer, rebound at a good rate given their height, problem is we are just a pretty short team Reb % greater or less than avg for height Goodwin 6.9% Thatch 6.1% French 5.1% Yuri 2.4% Perk 2.0% Jacobs 1.0% Bell -1.2% Jimmer -4.5% Source: https://www.pacifictakes.com/2017/1/13/14261476/pac-12-basketball-how-much-does-height-influence-rebounding *Bell's percent would be horrible if he didn't have 5x as many Off Rebounds as Defensive haha RUBillsFan, rgbilliken, Zink and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 If I had to guess, I would bet that team rebounding is more correlated to height than individual rebounding is to height. Different teams have different methods of defensive rebounding. Jimmy Bell doesn't necessarily have to grab a bunch of rebounds himself, if he is boxing out, keeping the other team off of the glass and allowing Goodwin/Thatch to grab the rebound. glazedandconfused and GBL_Bills like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why Bell has worst defensive rebound rate on the team but has been strong on the offensive boards. It would be better to see team defensive rebound rate by lineup (ie when just french is it vs when bell is in too...stuff like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniorbill76 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 An extra challenge for Jimmy Bell is not having a true big upperclassman (6-11+) on the team as a model. Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
