slufanskip Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 28 minutes ago, someoneelse said: This is why I sometimes question The Coach. :47 left in first OT, Bills coming out of a timeout, tie game. Get a shot off in 10-12 seconds and get the ball back. Tomfoolery ensues, Bills turn it over at the :27 second mark. Bills make the stop and all’s well that ends well, I suppose, but the clock management was beyond terrible. I disagree 47 seconds left, what if you don’t have a good shot in 10-12 seconds? Do you force it anyway? The opponent can then take 20 ish seconds do and you have another 10-12 seconds. Of course if I have the right shot in 12 seconds, I take it, but in general I’d rather get 1 good shot and defend rather than 2 not great shots.

If the coach can’t design a play to get you a good shot in 10-12 seconds, you don’t have a skill set that good coaches have. Designing last second shots is part of the job description. Of course, things can go wrong when dealing with 20 year olds, and the best designed plays can go to s**te, but I didn’t see any deliberate attempt to treat it as a 2 for 1 opportunity. That’s my beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluSignGuy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 For those not on Twitter, Chapley does a nice post game post game "Spaces" show [Spaces is a twitter feature], where he and others discuss the game. It will be on Twitter until tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about tonight, he was off. He’s our best scorer, and possibly our best player, but today he was not there. I’m sure he’ll be back as our best scorer next game. I’m just saying he was off and needed a break. Not sure what you’re referring to. I’ve been on this board for 20 years and generally agree with you.

NextYearBill Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Thoughts from the Front Row of EagleBank Arena: 1. That is a tough place to play. Their band is lit 2. Nesbitt is an absolute savage. He nails a 3 then stares down a heckler for a solid minute 3. Freddy T won that game last night. Oduro was near unstoppable, but Fred bodied his ass late 4. Make your free throws kids 5. Nothing like being on the road waving goodbye at the fans. Gritty win. rgbilliken, Westy03, CBFan and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, checking the play by play, Yuri scored 14 of our final 19 points and assisted on 2 more. Stone-cold stud. Schasz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a challenge he's accepted. Yuri's tried and failed many times this year to be the closer we needed. That's why seeing him succeed in such a monumental way is so satisfying. His teammates and coaches were happier for him than he was. Unfortunately, the celebration will have to be short-lived because an even bigger conference game looms on Saturday. Dayton seems to have our number defensively and the young Flyers are playing their best basketball of the year. I hope Gibby doesn't get too down on himself for last night. We're going to need him. slufanskip, slufan13 and CBFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextYearBill Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 guy in the front row telling Nesbitt to "shoot!! Shoot!!".... drains it stares guy down for a few seconds.... next timeout... Nesbitt walks back across the court to stare down the fan again for what seemed like 5 minutes. he is now in my top 5 favorite Billikens of all time.

Absolute lunatic I could hear that guy the entire game on ESPN plus. Every time the Billikens stopped Mason he would yell SLU fouled. When SLU got fouled I heard him yell to call that foul on both teams. Blue font, I guess he intimidated the refs by the way the game was called.

AnkielBreakers Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 For all the talk about how we were choking earlier in the thread, how about the stone cold come back, down 5 in the first OT? I thought the team would pack it in and Yuri put them on his back for 5 straight points. Schasz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am maybe the biggest Gibson fan on this board. The refs took him out of his rhythm. He basically sat for 35 minutes of real time. It's hard to recover from that so I think he has a more than valid excuse. But because of those factors, he was bad offensively last night. I did think his defense was really good and has been all season. For all the talk about his offensive game taking a huge boost (which is valid), his defensive improvement has been just as good. He'll never be a total defensive stopper but he's more than capable out there now. Crewsorlose and bauman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the best scorer on the team. Even great scorers have bad nights. It’s great to get a win even when Jimerson has an off night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
