3star_recruit Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Too many players that do the same thing but no legit point guard or big man. Same thing that happened under Crews. The guys that transferred out of here did just fine, on better teams in some cases. almaman and NextYearBill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe portal related? there is no point guard and no shooters. the 3 ball shooter is so important in this game and they have none, like the billikens of a couple of years ago that could not shoot, but worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 78-111. He is the interim. Of course Schmidt listed as possible replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 A past and a future SLU opponent were in action tonight: Boston College throttled Notre Dame 73-57 at home. That BC game won’t be a cupcake. Boise State tried to blow another one at the FT line shooting 50% on 16 attempts, but beat Tulsa 63-58 at home. Tulsa missed a ton of 3s down the stretch to take the lead or tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoelabs Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 As I said in my thread (and most disagreed). Memphis isn’t that good. 3 losses in a row now. Ole Miss isn’t a world beater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 3 NBA players and installed some catholic school motion offense for the future NBA players to learn with one day's notice. Memphis looks like they are playing careful for the first 35 minutes of the game...loses and still turns the ball over 20 times. Memphis shoots 20% from 3. Penny needs to just stop practicing and roll the ball out for games and just let them play like its an open gym. I of course fell for the trap line of Memphis -1. So there is some gambler's saltiness in the above rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_08 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Memphis looked clueless and uncoachable. Penny is in over his head. Makes you wonder why TF couldn’t figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why TF couldn’t figure this out. We've had a similar issue with falling apart on the road in the Coach Ford era. Boise State, hopefully, is a big step in resolving that issue. So we know from experience the winning a road game is hard. But If Penny can't win a road game against an NIT caliber team with all this talent, maybe we should just give him the Pat Kennedy Underachiever award right now. He should be able to roll out Aaron Hines at the point and beat Georgia or Ole Miss on the road with all that talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why TF couldn’t figure this out. In fairness, TF took what Memphis gave us, a direct line to the basket. The Memphis players weren’t even able to attempt to block a lot of the missed layups. Some things are not really the coaches fault. I can’t fault our strategy. Maybe we should have played a slow game and it could have exposed Memphis more. Hindsight’s 20/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoelabs Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I agree. A slow plodding game may have done the job. And Bates 1-10 today. No help there either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Light Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Illini up 39-36 at the half over Iowa. They were able to withstand a 14-0 Iowa run primarily with 3s and offensive boards. Cockburn is not getting the ball despite being fronted in the post by guards. I don't understand that strategy. I think Underwood will change that in the second half.

Matty Light Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 And Illinois wins 87-83 over Iowa. Coach Underwood did indeed change strategy and they fed the big man, Kofi Cockburn, who finished with 17 points and a career high 18 boards. Iowa won the TO battle 18-4. So how did the Hawkeyes lose this game? They were outrebounded 52-23 including 19-9 on the offensive boards. We know how that can kill you.

Yep, Texas Southern beat UF by 15 at UF. Hoops HC better watch it as the Gators already fired their football HC for losing games they had marked as sure wins.

Bay Area Billiken Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 @USF-CA 71 Fresno State 63. USF is 10-0, its best start in 45 years, since the Glory Days. USF's NET was 29 before today's play; 29 NET = NCAA. USF has a good young coach, who stays cool and doesn't yank. Fresno State is 7-2, has a very good 7'0" Center from Las Vegas.

Only 9 unbeaten teams left. Love that USF is one of them. No big-time wins, but solid ones - Davidson, Nevada, UNLV, UAB. The WCC looks excellent this season. Gonzaga, BYU, Saint Mary's, and the unbeaten USF are all looking like Tournament-level teams so far, the next few (Portland, Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount) are all 7-3 or 6-3, and there are only two teams with losing records (Romar's Pepperdine is one). I have to think Gonzaga's status as a blueblood is lifting this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
