I bet they win tonight, but c'mon brotha. Open yo eyes We have been off the pause for four weeks now. This isn’t about losing the first two game back. This is about losing the last two games.

This is about losing the last two games. If we win the first two back which we would’ve with a normal team, we’d currently be 13-3 with our only losses @Minn, @Dayton, and @VCU. We would easily be a tournament team. COVID killed us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I am with Billiken Roy on one thing. We need to play faster. We made our best runs pushing the ball. In other words our half court offense sucks. Speed up the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'll run and hide after this but I thought Yuri fouled him on the floor. I know that wasn't called but it should have been in my opinion. The French 5th foul was horrendous though. Refs or no refs. Covid or no covid. You have to beat a shorthanded VCU team if you want to play in the NCAA tournament.

3star_recruit Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Stuff we can control: Jimerson needs to shoot when he's open. I saw him pass up a money shot with less than two minutes left. Dude, that's why you're out there. He got another open opportunity shortly after and missed but I can accept that. He needs to get used to shooting daggers when we need them. The three seniors stepped up and did what they were supposed to do. That's a good sign. It's your show, gentlemen. Props to Has for showing doubters that he's still Hasahn M'Fin French. Stuff we can't control: Yuri's inability to make sharp change of direction on that ankle. He's trying to grind his way through it but he's not fooling anybody. There's only so much offense we can generate without him being fast and precise. slufanskip, A10Ref, GoBills73 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slu let the dogs out? Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Helluva performance by French. It’s a shame he had to battle all 3 refs too. Can’t remember what moron said Linssen should get more playing time but he should be banned from this forum (I really need cut back on the emotional posts right after bad losses). Excuse or no excuse, this team just hasn’t been the same since their COVID pause. Haven’t even thought about it until now but is there still an NIT tournament this year?

My issue with the Yuri foul was how late the call came in. 2 of our guys were already at half court on the fast break. The fact the foul occurred on the floor makes it even worse. majerus mojo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t buy that he is injured? Im pretty confident he is playing with some sort of injury and that is really hurting his game. His minutes are down and play is down. Something is wrong with him.

Part of running is playing really good D. Hard to run when your opponent is hitting shots. It is a lot harder to do that against average and above A10 teams than the Arkansas Pine Bluffs of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s bc of PG play(at the time jgood could have slid in), Russell could have played. Other options were available, which leads me to believe he’s fine, but in a slump. Also if he was injured, I dont think he’d be so involved in fast breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will answer your question, the first half was inexcusable with 10 turnovers. With there best player out the game it should not have been so close that bad officiating made the difference. The horrible calls on French and Linssen were bad and I am not the only fan that is saying it was bad and it helped VCU. I agree the Billikens should have played much better but this unfortunately is who the Billikens are right now and it is disappointing.

I guess just consider me that guy, but too many plays happen in a game as to why I dont hassle refs. Im not happy with the refs tonight, but our poor play is why we have 4 losses since coming back from play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
