One looked like he took a big step in figuring that out last night and the other is hopefully not far behind. We could also set a real freaking screen for Jimerson once in a while. Dig up zombie Majerus to whip out his decaying junk and show'em how close they need to be to set it.....

If their marketing dept. hasn’t done this, they’re not doing the job right. I do like their athletic dept. motto though, “ We’re the Trojans of Troy, where the rubber meets the road.” Fraz and SLU_Lax like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Just checked the ESPN and Coaches polls rankings for last week. We’ve been dropped from both polls’ receiving votes category. MD is ranked at 18 Auburn at 17. Auburn game hurt us bad, so says Captain Obvious. Mizzery got votes, which is laughable considering who they’ve played.

They will beat SEMO to go to 9-0 but then will be underdogs in 9 of their next 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the drop - we lost to the 13th ranked team at the time on their floor by 5 points and we get wacked for that - makes no sense.

We're still at the stage of the season where there are undefeated teams who haven't played anybody. Those teams leapfrog you when you lose. When those teams start playing real competition, most of them will take multiple Ls and disappear from the polls.

NYBilliken Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Iona game is wakeup call for players and coaching staff alike. Ford may not excel at responding in-game, but his teams have often improved through the course of season. Yurimania has posed a challenge last year and this year, because it gives opposing coaches a single point of failure to focus their defense on, as Pitino did. Last season the positive progression in-season did not happen to same extent, and the greatness but overreliance on Yurimania might have been part of the reason (along with absence of Goodwin and French). So what can Ford and team change to make this season better? So far it is tracking in much the same way as last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, you have to tip your hat to the tigers. They play a full 40 minutes and leave it all on the floor. Penny, like him or not, is a good coach imo. Gets 110% out of his players and his in game adjustments impress. Something that stood out to me was during a timeout Penny took in the second half he pulled Kendric Davis to the side and they had a very composed 1 on 1 chat, the rest of the team went into a huddle with the other coaches. Up until that point Kendric hadn't scored in about 8 minutes. I don't know what was said in that 1 on 1, but the very next play Kendric was able to tangle up two defenders with a screen which allowed Memphis an easy (and much needed) layup. This led to a nice Memphis run to get back within 1 possession from about a 3 or 4 possession Bama lead. Long story short, I don't know what goes on in Billiken timeouts but they seem to have a more chaotic effect than a calming one. Maybe its just me... but I was impressed with what I saw from Memphis last night. That win should age nicely in our favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
