Those guys make this the perfect thread to talk about disappointment. Whenever I’m down about the Bills, I tell myself, “at least I’m not a Richmond fan.” billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always seemed to match up well with Richmond for some reason, and I'll be wanting a W tonight big time, but I'm not letting my expectations get the better or me. This season can only be successful with a dance invite, and we're gonna have to pull off a miracle in DC to get that. Too much inconsistent play from this team at this point in the season. We ought to be hitting our stride going into March. Instead, we're stumbling and fumbling. I agree that a tourney invitation is the measure of whether a season is successful. We should make the tournament 7 or 8 times every 10 year period. You want a big east invite this is how it's done. Think and demand BIG.

I could be wrong, but I would guess less than 15 programs have made 7 or 8 of the last 10 tournaments. I would also guess the only programs to do that outside of a power 5 conference would be Gonzaga and Villanova. I like the lofty expectations, but I think bringing those down a little bit would be healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add VCU to the list with Gonzaga and Nova. Impressive stuff over there. They definitely deserve more credit than Dayton, Bona, and us. Still sticking to my guns that less than 15 programs have made it 7+ times (but it may be closer to 20, so clearly not sticking to my guns)...

Duke-North Carolina-NC State. -Florida-Miami-Syracuse-Florida State-Purdue-Ohio State-Michigan-Michigan State-Wisconsin-Iowa-Illinois-Louisville-Maryland-Villinova-Creighton-Enough. I haven't even gotten to the west yet. My guess is it might be 30+ teams who fit that category . A St. Mary's seems to make the tournament most years.

Cherry picking quickly: Iowa - 5 appearances, Illinois - 3, NC State - 5 , Miami - 4, St. Mary's - 4 Billikens: 4!!! Suck it, Illinois. All in all, 7 or 8 is lofty, but I agree that we need more consistency. BuiltFordBills, RiseOfTheBillikens and Crewsorlose like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Ref Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Back to the topic at hand, I think we need Jnez, TJ, or Deandre to go off for us to win (or all three to score 3+ points above average). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both TJ and Jnez are capable of being dominant rebounders, but too many times I see them watching the ball and trying to jump over someone rather than finding a body to box out. wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Light Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'd like to see Okoro screen his man for a Yuri layup a few times this game. Okoro is so physical that when teams aggressively deny the entry pass in front, it opens up an easy driving lane. I have only seen it a couple times the last few games but it is consistently there for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
