The Wiz Posted Tuesday at 05:47 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:47 AM No spread on this one since it is not an NCAA game. C2D 56%...we picked up 1% after beating Prov...when you do what you are supposed to do by about the correct spread not much changes. Next up Auburn...The toughest game of the year Meanwhile, coming tomorrow, the new "sleepy time" thread. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted Tuesday at 01:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:18 PM There is no reason to come with a full report about the game with Paul Quinn. I checked their site, they are playing their first game of the season against N Texas tonight. They play us tomorrow and they play Stephen Austin December 11th. That is all the games they list in their schedule. They belong to a league called RRAC, and they certainly have close to 0 probability to win against us.

CenHudDude Posted Tuesday at 01:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:23 PM PQ played two exhibition games, one against SMU and the other against TCU. The SMU game was surprisingly close, an 80 - 66 loss. They lost to TCU 112 - 42 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniorbill76 Posted Tuesday at 02:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:35 PM Plus some time to work on the new defense, get Gibby's and Perk's 3-piont shots back on track, give TJ more time and a chance to prove himself.

Because it’s not an NCAA game, lack of data has forced the Wiz’s computer into CPU overdrive, sucking up all the electricity Ameren can produce!

I would actually like to see Perkins get his inside the arc game going. His 3 point shooting hasn't been too much of an issue, getting open due to still not being up to speed sure, but not his set shot. I want to see him hit some pull up jumpers and some runners.

Ya he's shooting 38% from 3 which is respectable, and will prove with time. his close finishes are what need to get going asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll get better as he gets healthier & also adjusts his game. Of note, he's been taking more 3s than ever and less 2s than ever already this year.

My best guess would be the variability of his current strength compared to muscle memory. But I'm just a message board moron with a big mouth.

He used to bury seemingly every one of those jumpers from the elbow off a curl. Hasn't hit them with the same regularity yet this year. Note that Perkins also started slow / inefficient his first season with SLU. Different circumstances, but it shows that he can / has adapted & gotten better during the season before. I'm not really worried about Perk, but it stinks that the biggest games on our non-con schedule are sort of front loaded. On the flip side, our A-10 schedule is heavily back-loaded. Need to get / keep everything healthy & clicking by February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73Billiken Posted Tuesday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:36 PM The SLU Rec League champs were unavailable so we get to see Paul Quinn. Scheduling them must fall under the banner of an Act of Christian Charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheduling them must fall under the banner of an Act of Christian Charity. It’s a recruiting move. The head coach runs Drive Nation which we are recruiting heavily. Here’s 50 grand to lose but also send us your best AAU players. SLU_Nick likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I want Perkins to play as much as possible. He needs to get his legs back and into game shape. That'll come with time on the court during games.

I didn’t really notice it. It was there the first and second game. With the way he played, and physicality, I don’t think this is a limp. I think it will just take him time to get used to a different feeling in his knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted Tuesday at 05:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:07 PM hope you guys are right. if he is still limping something isnt right/recovered yet and he could be doing permanent damage imo. imo it is stupid to play him vs such a team. particularly when Auburn is in less than a week. it is the cutting and jumping that might endanger a recovery. not straight ahead running. so if you are worried about not being in game shape yet, let him run on a treadmill.

Band Legend Posted Tuesday at 06:14 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:14 PM I think the games last weekend were exactly what Perkins needed- knowing that he can play and survive against tough physical teams. He is well on his way back to being his dominant self. BIG BILL FAN likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted Tuesday at 06:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:27 PM I thought he tried to assert himself . He just didn't make some of his normal shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
