I’m just glad he’s a Billiken now. Bay Area Billiken and RiseAndGrind like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We won. Perkins saved our season. I have no clue how we’ll play the rest of the way. Every game is a toss up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We lost at SJU by 30 last season. This was not a strong road trip but we came away with two wins. My only complaints tonight are that we need to finish at the basket and we need to guard the perimeter. Both of those are oversimplifying a bit but they're the areas of improvement. Ryan Daly is a great player and unfortunately he still has another year of eligibility. Perkins was obviously the star of the game. Collins, Jacobs, and French were good too, aside from French being relatively inefficient finishing. Not a great night for Goodwin. If my count is correct, that's the 75th time a SLU player has scored 30 or more in a game. Only 25 of those scored more than 33, so he's tied for the 26th-best scoring game in SLU history.

Bay Area Billiken Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Every conference road game is a battle. Conventional wisdom may be sweeping LaSalle and St. Joe's is no big deal. But the two road wins really are important. Conference road wins are golden. meerkat and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javonte Perkins is the second coming of Harry Rogers, and just scratching the surface of his balls. SLU finally has a scorer! fixed it for you.

I was down at Vashon watching them play but someone texted me about Javonte. He's been a scorer since 4th grade lol. He just needed to get comfortable with the squad. Figure out his role. Proud of him. CBFan, SLU_Lax, SLURadioBoy and 5 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 at 62 from Daly was 4-5 behind the line and the one at 65 was coming around a screen off balance with a hand in his face. I bet he had 3-4 3ptrs from at least 3 ft behind the line.

jimbofive Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 8 minutes ago, Old guy said: Well what can I say, Daly had the game of his life countered by Perkins. No one can fault Perkin's FT throwing in this game. Goodwin was largely neutered. Not a clean game, not a game we dominated. Still a win is a win and this one goes in to the W column. Well done Bills. Now onto the next one. Go Bills! FIFY. i say all this knowing goodwin can sack up and bring the ruckus next game, but he barely showed up to a game against a 4-17 team.

slufan13 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I want to say that if we play like that, we lose to every other team in the league. But Perkins could have gone for 50 tonight if he wanted. Goodwin was awful. Maybe the worst game of his Billiken career. And we still won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
