Old guy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I did not think we could win this one by 16 pts, I was wrong, we won by 18. Now onto the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't gonna play much, if at all, the rest of this season. We only went 7 deep today with any meaningful minutes. I mean, you're not gonna be a bench player at williams level, so he's worth keeping. Lorentsson and Strickland are only freshman, AL has a load of potential with more weight..

Strickland’s D on that one possession where he made the Fordham player look like Iverson made me finally realize why he doesn’t play. He doesn’t even bend down on defense, it was very weird. cgeldmacher and NoCoBillsFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Per Ford’s post game comments it sounds like there was something neither basketball or COVID related weighing in the players’ minds today but he didn’t elaborate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Tough break on Fordham losing their top scorer. We know the feeling. Neptune has already established a defensive identity. The tough part, as always at Fordham, is keeping players. Our experienced guys finally reverted to form in the second half. Jimerson ran himself open, Yuri dropped dimes and Franco got his double double. Get well soon, Fred and Marten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it didn’t do a lot for my confidence moving forward. The turnovers are becoming a trend. The sloppy starts continue to be frustrating. They can’t play like that and expect to beat good teams or even average teams on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The Vegas line for today's game (prior to the game) was 13.6 in favor of SLU. We won by 18, so we beat the Vegas line. We should go up in the rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We win the games we're supposed to win and lose the games where we are the underdog or are playing a higher ranked team. We don't have any conference first-teamers but we do have a good collection of basketball players.

This. Need to have the research and detectives out to find out about this. Sounded like Rammer knew about it.

On here if you have a bad 10 minutes you're probably not good enough to play Jr High ball and if you have a great 10 minutes, ehhh you're ok. Some of the things said about Okoro in the 1st half were silly. You'd have thought he was 1-10 not 1-4. He had 4 rebounds also in 13 minutes. Ahhh but maybe we spoke too soon. He was 4-5 with 6 boards in 10 minutes in the 2nd half for a double/double in 23 minutes. Games are rarely great for 40 minutes. Good streaks and bad streaks in every game for every team. We also played this game missing our co #1 big, and probably our 7th man in Thatch. Also as far as the season goes, name me the SLU team that could lose their best player ( a player that was rated as a top 20 wing in the country by some ) and still be a tourney team. I can help if anyone is unsure. The answer is none in the last 60 years. CBFan, 3star_recruit, cgeldmacher and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for today’s game having them both on the court at the same time was essential to us turning the game around. We were having all kinds of trouble handling the ball until Jones came in and took some pressure off Yuri. I do Agee this won’t work if the opposition has big guards.
