The Wiz Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Here was a post I put up on Aug 5th on the "Open Scrimmage Thread" in response to Coach Ford's comment we need to take 26-28 3s per game. "28 3PA would be quite a number. If that comes to pass , the Bills would be a top 10 team in 3PA. Of course it is not about attempts...it is about 3PM. For some context, it would break down like this.... On 28 3PA/gm 8 3PM/gm = F...Time to shoot more 2s 9 /gm...........= D+...Still better off shooting 2s 10/ gm.........= B+....It's working ...keep them coming 11/gm...........= A+...Championship 3 team As you can see the margin between greatness and mediocrity is small ...only 3 baskets....Remember though this is a difference of 9 pts/ gm which is huge and is within the spread of most of the meaningful games we will play this season. It is a gamble to rain 3s but if the Bills can pull it off it will be a great year." This was the first real test of Ford's statement(I didn't see any stats from Spain)as we had 28 3PA with 11 3PM and based on my previous comment above we passed with flying colors. There are some who will say this was not a real test as it was an exhibition game. I would take issue with that as this was an away game...as in AWAY game ... in time , distance and environment....a true test. As I wrote above...11 3PM= Championship 3 team BuiltFordBills, Young Charles, billikenbill and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I can tell without seeing some player names is this is a group of lower level Italian Pros who are still Free Agents. They are playing several D-1 teams including Loyola Marymount.

billikenbill Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 After 2 games, Yuri has 20 assists and 2 turnovers. I’d be ok with a 10-1 a/to ratio for the season. SLUMedBilliken15 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to hear some reports on the new players, especially those who are expected to be key contributors like Pickett and Forrester.

This is a segue for one of the ‘Billiken board certified’ doctors to come in explaining how a knee replacement means that he may never broadcast again.

So do we try to recruit a replacement, or hit the transfer portal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Ok, so on further reflection, while I don’t think Rammer will be able to cut to commercial break as quickly with the replacement knee, he is a crafty veteran who will figure out a way charge forward and make the verbal slam dunk when needed.

slu72 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just watched some of the Billiken tweets from Florence. Guys appear to be having fun and bonding. Kramer’s pizza review was good, although he probably won’t be getting an NIL deal anytime soon from IMO’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said, “ There’s Greg Goossen who’s 20 years old, and in 10 years he has a chance to be 30.” No, but really, I think Thames has a chance to be a big-timer, maybe an all-time great Billiken. Travis has had very positive things to say about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
