Marten “Panzer” Linssen was really good off the bench tonight.

[JettFlight5]

Yuri had a dime bag of dimes tonight, and JGood was outstanding.

[CBFan]

Lots of chin diaper looks from the Billikens.

Nice win hats off to Indiana State I hope they beat the heck out of Evansville for ducking SLU.

Linssens game looks really good.

JGood was dominant

Perkins was normal Perkins

Jacobs a great 6th man

Tough game on Thursday

Be well Billikens fans see you Thursday 

[slu72]

Perkins a quiet 18. 

[White Pelican]

Yeah, that six minutes. It seemed like we lost focus, or thought we were so far ahead that we could coast. Ford obviously got them back on track. Second half was pretty solid all the way.

[brianstl]

In the second half we shot 63% overall and 43% from 3.

For the game we held ISU to 36% and 37%.

Where is a place for the Live box score? ESPN isn’t working right now.

Slow offensive night with 78 points. Previous low was 85 (LSU).

Any other year and I’d swear this was the lead in to one of the ‘too unrealistic’ Twilight Zone episodes.

god it feels good right now to be a Billiken fan.

Duplicate post.

Way to close it out after letting ISU hang around and go on a few runs.

Indiana State did a good job of making us defend on a lot of possessions for 15+ seconds to keep the score down.  And that Tre Williams kid is no joke in the paint.  Just a sophomore.

Martin Frickin' Linnsen, will dominate the A-10.

I can't remember the last time we had a back-up center that could actually play like a starter. Can take a quick pass, good footwork and knows where the hoop is. Defends and rebounds well. A real find for Ford. He'd have started on a lot of SLU teams.

Yuri might have a slight edge as a passer right now,  not yet at H’s level all around.

H was a very good passer. Yuri is elite. If you're considering only their passing it's Yuri by a considerable margin. 

Yuri is the better man defender and passer. H was a better shooter and scorer. And we also have to take into account we are considering 4 games into his Soph year Yuri with Jr and Sr H  

Overall I think I take Yuri but it's close and I couldn't fault an argument either way

[Compton]

A little adversity, a little resistance, a couple cramps, but a solid performance. This seemed like the perfect step-up game before the next two.

On the good side, we won by 19 pts, over the spread and just under 20 over. On the bad side, I thought we did not play well or as well as we could have played. True the refs came up with a number of bad calls. True, some of their people could shoot 3 pointers. A win is a win, we remain undefeated. Now let's see what we can do against NC St. I hope we play better than tonight.

Linssen 13 mins. 5-6 FG, 4 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal. Solid player. You just don't expect a 6'8 transfer from UNCW to be that good.

I think H was underrated defensively.  He always drew the opposing teams best guard because he played with a couple of guys that weren’t great defensively.

That said, I would be shocked if Yuri doesn’t surpass H all around by his third season.

And he does all of the little things right. It's so fun to only watch him during a possession.

Jimmy Bell was pretty good last year, and will end up playing more minutes by the time this season is over. But I know what you mean.
