billikenbill Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Starting lineup is the same as game 1. Looks like Fred will be the 6th man backing up Pickett and moving to point when Yuri needs a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 2Q | 2:58 | #Billikens 43, Stella Azzurra 20 Kellen Thames up to 10 points and five steals. SLU has 10 steals as a team. Thames showing out. Fraz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I like that Parker seems to be getting a decent amount of run during this trip. Hopefully that jumpstarts his acclimation from JUCO to D1. He's definitely a wildcard this season who could raise the ceiling. I wasn't necessarily counting on him for much this year with the "wing" position so crowded with more seasoned (Gibson, Thatch, Hargrove, Perkins, Pickett). If he's playing his way into the rotation / stealing minutes from that quintet, it means big things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 My speculation for backups is it’s Parker for GibJim, TJ for Perk, and Fred for Pickett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you did blue font so I get it. In defense of the different scores - when you play tough D your offensive out put can suffer somewhat for a variety of reasons. Normally the opponents score is as much a result of how many possessions they had and the number of their possessions can be higher if you are scoring fast. Not seeing the box score it is hard to say what actually caused the score. RUBillsFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to look at defensive FG% and point spread, not points given up. With the Bills' fast pace of play, the opponent has more posessions as well, thus more opportunities for the opposition team to score.

3star_recruit Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thames is 6'6, is a skilled ball handler and plays legit defense. That really should be enough to qualify as our backup point guard. It's better than most teams in the A10 have. SLUMedBilliken15, slufanskip and billikenbill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Some MBMs are acting like it would be a bad thing if SLU had a veteran backup PG because we already have Thames. No one thinks we should grab a total scrub and automatically play him over Thames. I'm also not ready to anoint Thames the 2nd coming of Penny Hardaway after a few games against sub-par competition in Europe. Healthy competition for the backup PG spot would've been good for the team ditto more depth at PG. We had/have an extra scholarship & PG is the spot I see as having the least depth. I hate "saving" scholarships. Soderberg used to do it because he'd miss on all his primary recruiting targets and be left with no one to fill the spot. I don't expect that from Ford. However, it is understandable that Ford would have a tough time luring a good PG because there is so little playing time to offer behind Yuri.
