Old guy Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Sorry guys, we went to the 70th birthday party of a very good friend of ours, did not attend the game and missed probably the best game of the season. My bad. My wife found the final score via her iPhone sometime before we left and I was dumbfounded. I believe in the Bills but this was rubbing VCU's noses on the asphalt. Great win! No onto the next one. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a very apt avatar for Jimerson. But before we think so much about the DC Universe heroes the Bills have for the next three seasons (in Collins, Hargrove, and Jimerson [Batman and Robin (not sure which is which, by your way of thinking) and Green Arrow]), we've still got another year of Marvel Universe heroes. That's French has the Incredible Hulk, J-Good as Captain America, and Perkins as Spider-Man (or perhaps the Black Panther).

NoCoBillsFan Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 This game made me even more optimistic for next season... Yuri with 12 assists, Perkins making it look easy with 25 points, Bell and Hargrove looking good. Then of course Goodwin and French had strong performances as well. These guys plus a healthy Jimerson and Thatch? The A-10 better be ready next year because we're coming in hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I sold Perkins short a few hours ago. He should be 2nd team all-conference, not 3rd team this year. He's already scored 25 points three times and dropped 33 on the road at St. Joe's. Best scorer since Justin Love. VCU picked the wrong year to run with us. Their point guard was hobbled and Yuri loves to run. Game, set, match. SLU_Nick likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First team in a while that didn’t just pack it in against us and you saw the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Javonte Perkins has rapidly become one of my favorite Billiken players ever. I am thrilled he chose to come here. Zink, DeSmetBilliken and NextYearBill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 For you young'uns that never saw Harry Rogers play, it's like Perkulator has channeled his game. Harry was smooth as silk. A lot of points w/o breaking a sweat. Perkins gives us the same. Love the Perkulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way and what a pick up from the Tuesday loss. I wish you could of seen this one live with the full student section and close to a full house the atmosphere was electric in the arena. When I got home I noticed ESPNU was replaying the game so I watched and I did not realize how much I missed being at the game because of how fast the game was played last night. I got a better look at the French assist to Hargrove and how great some of those assists by Collins were executed. This has been a good season in spite of the injuries and if Hargrove could just finish out the season like he did last night then our team has a chance of winning the A10 tournament. Perkins has arrived in a big way but I have felt the team is just one player short of being able to get the job done by winning the A10 tournament. I think Hargrove is a good player that has the ability to get hot and be a major factor heading down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thus, Harry Rogers, The Original, and Harry Rogers 2.0 (aka Javonte Perkins) were BOTH at the game last night. You’ve gotta love BenFred in today's STL P-D, stltoday.com, referring to "freshman point guard sensation Yuri Collins." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Two HoosierPal game balls 1) Collins for 12 assists and only 5 TO. 2) AD May for the wonderful half time with all the old stars. I would have given a third to the coaching staff for great game prep, but that last 5 minute slow down didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is pretty long....started with relatively current alums like Crawford and Welmer, continued through Eckerle, Highmark, Liddell, Q Dillard, Pedersen, Jeff and Stan Luechtefeld, then on through Lenard, Gray, Douglass, Wiley, Rogers and more from the 1970's an 1960's. They ended with a player, which I am embarrassed to say I missed his name, who is 97 years old and fought in WWII. Joanne, long time assistant to the Staff was there too. I didn't count, but there were maybe 50 former Billikens honored. Please, others who were there, add to the list.

Billikenbooster Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Interesting no one has mentioned the refs in last night’s game. Twice my son and I said ‘Good no foul call’ , one of those the flop by SS. We were waiting for the typical A10 second half foul circus, but it never materialized. I thought a couple of times Yuri driving to the basket was like a FB crashing through the line in a football game, but otherwise seemed to be called fairly. Stu said the T was on the coach, box score said Evans. Is a flagrant foul automatically classified as a T? mhg GoBills73 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the FF is not a T, but that Rhodes was perhaps upset at the call and got the T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 No need to complain if you win but there was plenty of fouls last night that were not call. Whoever was dribbling the ball was mauled all night long. Winning makes the bad officiating moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure everyone was pissed at the refs after that 2nd half foul festival against LaSalle even though we won the game. On the flip side, it has been a little while, but I don't think anyone was particularly upset about the refs in the Seton Hall game. We just got beat plain and simple. I do agree that there is more complaining about refs after losses than wins. However, if the refs suck, they suck plain and simple. Refs were pretty good overall last night. I felt like they could / should have swallowed their whistles on some of those late desperation out of control drives to the hoop by VCU. This is especially true given other stuff they allowed during the game and the fact that the game was already out of hand. No one really wants to watch a FT shooting contest occur during the last 2 mins of blowout. That's my only complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
