GDT: @ Memphis

[slufan13]

Part of me feels like we are lucky to be only down 15

[slu72]

15 down at half. How do we come back? Get some shooters in the game. If Williams wants more minutes now would be the time to show why. Get Gibby some looks. And do something to stop their 3s. 

[billikenblue]

Not sure what a passive zone is doing for us...they became much more comfortable after we went to the zone

[Fraz]

Tyler Harris is their 6th or 7th guard averaging 7 mpg hahahaha

Halftime stats:

 

[Brighton]

Disappointing end to the first half, but expected. We're truly dicked without Perkins.

Franco misses the dunk

He's one of the few who could make that transition from Spanish fascist dictator to Nigerian Billiken Forward.....

[slu72]

They shot 50% we shot 26%.

Jimerson always disappears in these games. He can fill it up against Harris Stowe, but always looks scared against the big teams

Get over it. We gotta go with what we got.

Didn't he have like 37 against Auburn or something?

[majerus mojo]

Might be a humbling half for Nesbitt 0-7 yeesh

He had 4 touches. Is that on him or our offense? Or both? Genuine question. I say both.. We ran set plays for him last week and tonight its back to hiding in the corner.

My takeaway as well.  No one to give the ball to and go get a bucket

[WestPineJunior]

Bills have not played their best thus far, that much is obvious (can still get this dub).That being said…IDGAF what happens this game, THE Saint Louis University Billikens can beat the most athletic team in America even without our guy Javonte. 
 

Bills by a million first week of April…two times over YEEE YEEEEEE!!!!

Probably a good thing long-term

[Littlebill]

We’re forgetting this is probably a top 5 defense in the country. I’m cool with the O looking bad (if we finish at the rim it’s a good game) but the D not getting any stops is not great

[Billiken Rich]

Really good D will make our "Perkins Replacement By Committee" look horrible.....

[NoCoBillsFan]

Kinda miss Demarius Jacob’s right now too. I always thought of him as a mini-Perkins with the way he could score at all three levels. Although he’d probably disappear on this big of a stage

[billikens747]

Need to get Jimerson more looks.

[HoosierPal]

4 assists, 10 turnovers

[Crewsorlose]

I predicted this, or at least feared it. Team is overmatched in every way. Not like we can't play with them, but so sped up and out of control. 

I quite like Ford but the decision to go with a zone is terrible. We have no idea how to play zone. Except for TJ, the entire team has made boatloads of dumb plays or just failed at the simplest lay up or tip in. 

Yes, if they stopped playing like crap they could get back in the game, but they'll lose by 30 if not more because of the panic starts from the top down with Ford playing a zone.

+100000.. he’d be our 3rd guard

Exactly. I think he's improving though. We just missed shots, the height is really screwing us. If we settle down I think we can get back in. I feel Minnesota though.
