3star_recruit Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The ideal outcome for the broadcast team is for the mid-major to show well and for the P6 team to pull it out in the end. We get props for being a tough out come tournament time and the assumed superiority of the P6 program is maintained.

Bynum, Crosswell and Moore were not good in the A10 so we shall see. You certainly have your share of unusual takes.

I'm still trying to figure out what Taj's definition of good is. Because the implication of his statements thus far is that 90% of college players are not good.

Plus it’s been 2 years for croswell Bynum averaged 11 ppg and 4.5 apg as a freshman. He had offers from Notre Dame and Va Tech among others when he transferred from St. Joe's. He scored 20 points over SLU in one game and 18 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in another game against SLU that freshman season. He's also been a pretty damn good player in the Big East too.

HoosierPal Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 There are at least two Apps to sync Rammer with a TV broadcast. Audacy and Varsity Network. I got the link to Varsity off the Billikens Game Day site. Just download Audacy off your App Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 2 hours ago, brianstl said: The same announcers when the Billikens were down by 11 thought the game still felt like it would come down to a last possession game. So I don’t think there was an obvious anti Billiken bias. I heard the announcers say that. What was your opinion on the 2 fouls I mentioned?

Bay Area Billiken Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Providence, going for the quick fix with all those transfers, is a probable NIT team, NCAA Last Four bubble team at best. SLU, even with Perkins not yet at 100% and Thatch out with injury, was and is the better team. SLU was favored, and SLU won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's good to see we can still win at a high level when we don't have as much of it. Bay Area Billiken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thatch would have helped reduce the board advantage Providence had. I guess when we’re being out rebounded Travis has no plan to play Forrester and Okoro together. I get it to a degree, but it hurts if your opponent is getting 15 second chances. We’re gonna struggle against teams that play a + 6’10” C along with a 6’8”-6’9” PF. Also, any thoughts on why Gibby got so few touches yesterday? I realize defenders are playing him tight but he seemed to be stationary in the corner a lot of the time. You would think Travis would scheme some ways to screen or pick his defender to shake him free to fire his bombs. Agreed, he appeared to have a little slump over the weekend.

Agreed on Thatch but no way we play foul-machine Forrester and Okoro together.........we need to extend all 8 of those fouls to have any post presence at all at the end of the game......hopefully Momo id getting up to speed..... I'm assuming they were trying to deny the ball to Jimerson.......we shot an abysmal 3 point percentage when we did get the ball to a shooter.....

We screen or pick Gibson's defender every game. That's where most of his shots come from. If he still can't pop free, you have to tip your cap to the defense. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Providence shot 100% at the free throw line, 20-20. So that’s 3-5 more points than Providence ordinarily would have had. SLU was 15-17 FT’s. Providence outrebounded SLU 38-35, but played Hopkins, a 6’7” power forward, a 4, 36 minutes. The stats were close to even, except Providence shot only 35.9% to SLU’s 48.3%, with Providence making up for it by hitting 7 3’s to SLU’s 3. SLU proved the line was correct. SLU was favored and the slightly better team. Don’t minimize the venue advantage Providence had, although most of its loyal fans in attendance Saturday were elsewhere otherwise engaged Sunday. Thank you very much. gabriel likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he was on the move a lot; running the baseline circling to the other side. It seemed to me he didn’t do a lot of that yesterday. Granted, his shot was off. Hopefully, he didn’t like the sight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, he didn’t like the sight lines. I’m not sure his shot was off as much as he just didn’t get the space to shoot. 2/5 from 3 yesterday for 40 percent and only 2/3 from 2. Not sure if his lack of shots was by design or just something that happened. Either way he needs to be more involved going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
