I have no idea where Strickland found these handles, but no one can take the ball from him, and he is unselfish. Point guard. Bank it. Done. Zero turnovers. Just let him learn his way into the role. Bad defense has been his Achilles heel today. Quote
MattyMo213 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 I know he hasn’t been the same since he got hurt. But I’m bummed this is Marten’s last game Quote
ThreeTimeBilliken Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Ford gives some Jack Black looks sometime. Quote
cgeldmacher Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Prediction: Parker becomes the next Perkins. We shed some dead weight with transfers, we bring in some good transfers. Even if Perkins doesn’t return, we have a bettter season next year. A10Ref and rgbilliken 2 Quote

But to say this is the ceiling is an overreaction. If next year the season doesn’t go better, then that will probably be the ceiling. Huh? This dude has been a HC for a long time he has 1 NCAA tournament win. He got to the NIT runner up with UMASS in 2008 that is the last and only deep post season run of any kind by Ford in 24 years of being a head coach. So tell me how this isn't the ceiling? Past performance is the best indicator of future success. Bizziken, JMM28 and TaLBErt 3 Quote

In other words we take a bath if we fire him. But we still have no idea what the terms are. I would think the extension was for 2-3 years. If it’s 5, Chris May should be fired. Quote

Even without Perkins if this team isn’t better next year there is a huge problem. We basically have the same team coming back. If there isn’t improvement I’ll be ready to get rid of Ford.

slu72 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Ball game. A total smack down by an MVC team. The only A10 team to lose. It’s hard being a Billiken fan. Quote

He doesn’t have any track record of anything more. He’s a Doug Collins type. Gets things leveled up and stabilized, but you need to find a Phil Jackson to take it to the next level. Quote

slu72 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 A lot of this is due to Xs and Os. You can have talent but if they don’t have a system they’re gonna rip your heart out. Quote
CBFan Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 What an embarrassment Ford’s seat should be warm next season. Quote
billikenbill Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 You take out that 20-0 run and we win by 8. dlarry 1 Quote

Hopefully Parker is good enough that whether to give minutes to Hargrove or Strickland becomes a moot point. Quote
A10Ref Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Thank you Martin and Deandre. Both had ups and downs, but I’m happy to have watched them do what they love. please god have Yuri’s injury not be serious and bring Perkins back billikenbill, SLU_Lax and RiseOfTheBillikens 3 Quote
dlarry Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Can Ford make the team do wind sprints after the season? This team deserves hours of suicides after that effort. Maybe May can make Ford join them. He deserves to run too. Quote

Yes, a million times yes. UNI’s coach ran a clinic out there. Travis needs to attend one… or more. Quote

If it’s 5, Chris May should be fired. Yea, they are keeping the terms hush-hush. As I recall he got a nice sweetheart deal when he left Okie State. To this day I can't understand how he got 2.5 mil out of SLU. That is 700 grand more than the next A10 coach. We only paid Majerus a mil I believe. SLU has always been notoriously cheap. He may have a fantastic agent. Quote
