brianstl Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 20 minutes ago, almaman said: coach laughed off the hater's "we keep it slowing down" BS pretty good with Rammer post game. It wasn’t haters, it was anyone that watched the closing of the last three losses. It, also, wasn’t BS as the the number of possessions per minute in the close of those games proves they slowed down. Other than that, good on coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that because that means he is not interested in learning from past mistakes.

Ford may have laughed at that, but it’s obvious to the casual observer. We let up in the gas teams come back on us. not many areas I can think of where i would rather be in the hand of your casual observers than in those that know wtf they're doing. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 For all the folks who seem to have an answer to, "double Yuri at the end of the game", I'm all ears. A10Ref and almaman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Ford, like everyone else, believes what he wants to believe, and may well reject anything different. He may not be able to see, or allow himself to see, the slowing down at the end of the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Holly Hills Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Nice win for the bills after a mini layoff. I didn’t think we played that great. We had no business losing to that team, we had 4/5ths of the talent on the court. However, it was the same thing against Belmont. Yuri is SPECIAL! He has really turned it around after that 3 game rough patch. I hope we can get a game in before the bonnies game. That will be a test, but I fear NO team in the A10. So excited I can even state that with confidence after losing our best player before the season. Awesome! gabriel, BilliesBy40, CBFan and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 He came back in, so I’m guessing cramp. More concerned about Linssen’s ankle. Although, I thought Traore played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy II Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 -good to get a win -Yuri was really good and clearly we needed that play from him, he played 37 minutes, I'll take the arrows as I think that is too much -JNezz somehow gets the ball to the rim from some nearly impossible places, I am a big fan of his -I wonder if Markhi set a SLU record for least amount of time from a starter who didn't get hurt? -we played 10 guys and won the game, I wonder if the rotation will stay broad? I have my hunch -seeing Linssen limping was not good but getting everyone on the squad, except perhaps the team doctor, cleared from the virus is great, hope we are done with that -after hearing CFord say on the postgame (I wish those were available to hear after the fact) that he doubts if LaSalle will be coming to town I figured by this morning the A10 would have announced a schedule change, not so much NH likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I thought Traore played well. My concern about Traore is that he often let his man unguarded once the man got out on the perimeter. Golden hit at least 2 3pointers when he was wide open. I get that he is a freshman but if he is going to play that loose then his man will burn him often. Today many big men can pop from the outside from time to time. Sure the coaching staff can teach him and hopefully that will happen. From what I saw he was OK but not ready to play big minutes just yet.

If he would have had a serious injury after that play with no foul called, I would have had to muster up some serious personal restraint to not go nuclear.

At this point I don’t want Traore venturing too far out, especially with a player like Golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
