Seems to me like an overreaction to what most people expected to be a rebuilding year Very good points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKillop had Davidson totally prepared to win at a tough VCU. This stinks. Hard to stop him when your point guard is a step slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wrong. Good points - everything is there for him to turn the corner. I think he’s got til end of next season to prove he can before the ice thins. I have faith but a few of these losses over the last year have stung a lot. johnbj14 and NoCoBillsFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal circumstances that would be the senior year for Yuri, TJ, and Gibson. Nesbitt will have an extra year of experience. Okoro will be a senior. Javonte likely to be back. It’ll be do or die imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t even that bad of shots imo I didn’t mind the shots at all. It’s better than yuri just driving into traffic and making dumb passes to traore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad shots, turnovers, missed layups…..don’t matter. When you give up 91 points you lose. Felt like I was watching Groundhog Day in the 2nd half with Fernandes driving to the basket EVERY POSSESSION.

We can’t wait any longer. I can wait. All that matters is being ready when conference tourney gets here. It was always going to be Auto bid or bust with this team.

johnbj14 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Very skeptical Travis’ seat is remotely close to warm in the eyes of the university. This season has been tough to stomach at points, but it would be incredibly ruthless by the AD to pull the plug this season or next after how hard the program (and Travis personally) was hit by the death of Ford Stuen and best player went down.

I have a hard time finding guys on this team who would be getting big minutes on a top 25 team. If Perkins doesn’t go down we aren’t having this conversation but I think im guilty of overestimating the actual talent level on this team.

Old guy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The full box score for this game is available now. The number of FT attempts for each half is interesting, as far as I am concerned. In the first half SLU had 6 FT attempts vs Umass with 8 FTA attempts, no problem here. However, in the second half SLU had 14 FTA attempts vs UMass 25 FT Attempts. It appears that the refs called a significantly large number of fouls on SLU in the second half, many more than the number of fouls they called on UMass. In the second half Umass made 25 FT points vs 13 FT points made by SLU. That was the game right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be forgetting just how awful we were when he first took over. I can only imagine how many of those road games lost were in the first 2-3 years with Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Noah Fernandes, UMass’ 5'11" point guard, a Wichita State transfer, torched SLU for 24 points. I have to believe there was and is a way on defense to stop that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
