RiseOfTheBillikens Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Rewatched the broadcast. Main takeaway besides we played well and Dayton collapsed after jordair turned Anthony Grant into a track star. The broadcast was with announcers not on site. NBC sports, USA, or our bally sports team much better production than espn. Why were they not here for this game. Someone should get on them for that.

I am not sure how they count but it sure didn't look like there were 1K empty seats and given that the corporate boxes were all in use I am pretty confused by this number.

Dayton can go to hell and stay there. Dayton got a taste of hell yesterday when the Billikens built that 17 point 2nd Half lead, then Nesbitt slam dunked to finish them off. Grant and his players’ antics were unacceptable. He failed to change the story of this key game and big Loss for his team. The vast “Jesuit conspiracy” against Dayton is alive and well.

Grant staring down Jordair like he was about to do something. Just a couple 18 year olds who got their feelings hurt. The worst was the announcer putting Grant on a pedestal claiming he’s “filing this away”. MF should’ve got a technical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 14 hours ago, 3star_recruit said: 35 and 13 changed everything, IMO. If Yuri can do that, he can average 15 ppg the rest of the season. I don't think anybody saw that coming, including him. That was very good perimeter defense that he scored on today. I never saw it coming however in a high school playoff game the wife and I attended at Jefferson college he scored 30 and had a lot of assists. I was down on Yuri because of the turnovers and putting up 13 shots with a low FG percentage. His free throw shooting was not as good as his high school percentages. Everything changed the game SLU lost when Yuri took responsibility for it and said he had to get better. I was wrong for losing confidence in Yuri. I should have given this team time to grow and get an identity without Perkins. With the exception of the COVID season coach Ford has his team playing it’s best in February.

Yuri and Fred were both "layup kings" in high school with Fred being the better perimeter shooter. I wasn't surprised at all by Yuri averaging 5 points a game his first two seasons. A 5'11 player needs more than a layup package and a below average jumper to score at this level. Not only is Yuri's 3 pt shot much better this year, his pull up game has been a revelation. It's almost like watching Marque Perry out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken his game to a level I didn't think was possible with his pull-up game and ability to knock down threes. His passing is already incredible. Starting to remind me of NBA great, Nate Archibald. I wouldn't have believed it a week ago, but he may have the NBA in his future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 BAB is heading to Pebble Beach for the AT&T today to celebrate the big Billiken Win over Dayton, watch some golfers, most of whom are new names for me, and to hang with the In crowd.

He did not leave - he went to another seat as was requested by SLU and he was seen drinking in Lorenzo's after the game. If you read all the follow up tweets and stories in the Post it is all spelled out. Only the Dayton's paper and the announcers who were not broadcasting from the game said he was ejected. At first that was what people assumed but once they got a chance to talk to people in the know they changed their initial tweets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 If our staff managed to defuse the situation by leading Jett and his mother to a different seat, after taking him out of the arena, they did handle the situation very well. The refs certainly showed no interest in getting involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
