Old guy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Back home after the game and dinner. Not a very well attended game, student section about 3/4 filled, noisy though. A fair number of SIU fans cheering for their team. Nice atmosphere in the place. Andre and the billiken customed guy did their usual excellent work. Band half there, 3 tubas. I have heard oftentimes that many teams play games to match their opponents, that is what I think we did in the first half of this game. They had French and Goodwin neutralized or largely so, and the guy that carried the first half was Perkins. I would give him the credit for winning this game. The first half was not good to say the least. We only got ahead at the end of the half and our advantage at half time was only 2 pts. The second half was different and we played much more like ourselves. Goodwin and French came alive in the second half and we did just fine. We won by 9 and beat the spread. Ford was not happy in his comments at the end of the game. Regardless, a win is a win, we are 7-1 and doing fine. I fullly expect to win agaist SIU, as we did. I did not expect it to be this close despite beating the spread. Anyways, sloppy first half or not we won and beat the spread. No onto the next game Tulane will be harder to beat than SIU but I believe they will do so. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. And only obnoxious because I got roasted all last week/ preseason saying Perkins and Gibson should be our starters and Bell shouldn’t be. Now that what I’m saying keeps turning out to be true, I’m fighting back.

CBFan Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Our team once again has the depth to overcome sickness with Fred Thatch and players that struggled today. Perkins has been playing better and today he led the team in scoring and Jacobs was the best point guard for this game. Our team has the big 2, Goodwin and French and the next player up who could be Perkins, Collins, Jacobs, Weaver, Jimerson and Thatch when he can get back on the court. One of these days Jimmy Bell will have his coming out party and so will Hargrove. Our team is deep enough to sit Hargrove who would have played the last two seasons ready or not. Our coach has the flexibility with different players to find a lineup that will work and he did that today. The best 5 today were Jimerson, Jacobs, Perkins, French and Goodwin. Who knows what 5 player combination will be the best for Tulane, who will get the hot hand? The only lack of depth is the 4 and 5 position so our coach needs to continue bringing Jimmy Bell along so I think the starting lineup will remain the same. 7-1 feels so nice.

Now that what I’m saying keeps turning out to be true, I’m fighting back. Don’t call me the board moron for saying what takes people a month to figure out You just don’t get it, and probably never will. No one is arguing that Jimmy Bell is currently one of our top 5 players. Coach Ford realizes that at some point in the season, we are going to need Bell to play some significant minutes because of foul problems or injuries, and he is not going to be prepared if he doesn’t get playing time. A 7-1 record is ample proof that TF’s plan has been successful. Sometimes you have to step back and look at the big picture. I’m sure Ford’s lineup will continue to evolve as the season progresses.

Have you checked his offensive production? You aren't right. Jimmy Bell needs to play. He's averaging 11 min a game. It doesn't matter if those 11 min include the 1st 3 or not. There's a bigger picture that you're failing to see CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
