24-7 run..no excuse for the lack of effort ...

Ford’s repeated lack of preparation in big games has to be called out

I hope they don't, but they deserve to lose.

Tough to win when your big 3 are 2-14 from the field. 

[SLU_Nick]

All the committee members are watching.  If we lose this game, then we need to win the conference tournament, zero chance for at large

Hey now, you'll be called a troll if you do.

[Soderball]

This was just lack of effort, no way around it. The refs are miserable. We can't hit shots. Ultimately it's out of hand like this because of lack of effort, and that is worst of all.

[Fraz]

I hate telling my Mizzou friends Slu is better

We suck.  Nothing can be said otherwise.  Play Hargrove.  Play Jacobs.  Play guys who can shoot.  That ain’t French and that ain’t Goodwin.  And it might not be Perkins.

That's the only chance we have and that chance is slim and none, and Slim packed up and left town.

Starters are 3 out of 18 for the half.

I’ll sleep better knowing the seniors ruined it for themselves, and not the underclassmen

Which is why Ford should push the tempo

When they've pushed the tempo they run into a crowd of Flyers and turn it over.

I never thought this could happen to this team. We look awful. I will give credit to UD’s D but we are killing our selves too. 

[joe_davola]

And you, Ford.  You got schooled that half.

Agreed ...we are the only game on...even the halftime announcers are calling us a no-show

[HoosierPal]

64% shooting v 31% shooting. 
Can’t blame that on the zebras.

That was varsity vs. jayvees level bad. We didn't belong on the floor with Dayton.

[brianstl]

Need to start the half with TJ, Jacobs and Yuri on the court and really push the tempo.

[slu72]

I’m gonna run out of scotch. 

[HoosierPal]

Goodwin 0 points 4 rebounds.

How do you know it’s lack of preparation?

Isn’t it just as likely to be lack of execution?

The Bills started off the half with 3 great looks from 3. 2 for Jimerson and 1 from Perkins....Missed them all. 

That’s when the panic set in.

I don’t think it’s preparation but missing open shots.

if they hit those wide open threes this is a completely different game.

[CBFan]

Got to stay with the guys that got us here.  Goodwin will do better and so will Perkins.  French tries to do too much.

Hang in there we were down 20 a long time ago in the pit in New Mexico on a NIT game and won.  Charlie Newberry had a great game.

 

[gobillsgo]

Jim Crews’ worst Billiken team would’ve been competitive with us that half

The haven’t really pushed the tempo though. They have let Dayton start getting back before they start going.  They need to go had soon as they get the rebound.
