They'll do their research and know that you can allow French to catch the ball and get fouled. Well that's a strategy I'd love to see them use. French would roam the lower blocks and I'd spread the floor. Go head leave him open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so drunk on Kool-Aid that while I am unwilling to bet the Billikens straight up, I got us giving Auburn a game (give me another glass and I will be there though). I'll give you 15 points and when I (hopefully) lose, I'll buy you drinks at the 'Fetz in February. Deal? If I win the bet, we'll both be pissy and you won't owe me anything.

Zink Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Perkins upped the intensity and grabbed some big boards for us today AND carried us through the end of the first half offensively. If he can consistently play the “4” out there with Goodwin and French like he did today, we’ll cause matchup problems against a lot of teams. cheeseman and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The key to this win was surviving French sitting for 14 minutes in the first half. Bell stepping in and playing well when Hankton could not handle their big guy was the key to this happening. Good win but honestly these FT woes are going drive me crazy. Yuri has to be better at the line - yes I know he is freshman but hitting FTs have nothing to do with being a freshman. (you can throw Goodwin in there also but I have kind given up on him improving at this stage of his career) Zink and BIG BILL FAN like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazedandconfused Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Two things that impressed me (on top of goodwin asserting himself in the 2nd): - When French got back in the game after sitting out the last 16min of the 1st, he didn't force anything offensively. He wasn't out of control trying to get shots up or get to the hoop, he showed a lot of maturity there. Having him in the game is vital for our team. Good job Hasahn - Jimerson's shooting is what we were expecting this year...but I thought he has been both active without the ball in his hands and has been confident with the ball in his hands. IMO has been the most impressive of the new guys. BilliKat likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Pretty game or not, and it was not it was more of a melee, we won over BC and got to be the Gotham Challenge champions. Goodwin was the MVP of the tournament. All of this is very nice. Even nicer is the fact that this was the first away game for the freshmen and we were not playing in neutral territory. Like Ford said in his post game comments, this is what winning teams go: take their lumps and keep on playing tough, until they turn the corner and win. Turn the corner we did. I hate spectrum, whenever you want to watch something you have to upgrade, screw them, I listened on the radio. It must have been an incredible game to watch. The stats are not yet available at SLU athletics, but Lord we really played them out. All objections and imperfections not withstanding, we won! I knew we could and we did. Go Bills! Onto the next game back home this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he shouldn't be playing, or he didn't have a good 1st half but he shouldn't be taking more shots per minute than anyone else on the team. He's shooting under 33% from the field and 20% from 3. 9 boards is a nice game and I'm not as down on his D as it seems some others have been Zink likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Perkins isn't shooting well from anywhere. His effective shooting percentage is 37.8%. That is worse than Thatch and people can't ***** enough about how bad a shooter Thatch is. Zink and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Gibson scores and plays amazing defense. What does Jacobs do to deserve the starting spot over him? Before y’all go off about how starting doesn’t matter... we haven’t been good at the start of games recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
