Im trying to think of a Majerus equivalent….Jay Wright? Lol. this feels like one of those A-10 tourney games in 2004-2006. Just bottom out, no plan or direction. Honestly the closest semi-realistic comparison to Majerus could be… Pitino. Legendary coach, controversial figure (albeit in a different way than Rick). Old.

Play in a neutral up there or something like that. Awful performance by both Ford and the guys, but we had absolutely no business playing in that gym This return game was Pitino’s requirement to play last year’s Covid caused replacement game on very short notice at SLU.

slu72 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Just now, Bay Area Billiken said: This has been a superb coaching job by Rick Pitino in running 3 different defenders at Yuri Collins, taking Yuri largely out of the game. The game announcers noted Iona stopped Yuri from going right and kept him out of the middle. Agree. Pitino is a master. Hell, I’d hire him. I know B’roy would pitch a fit but the guy can coach, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very embarrassing how often this happens. That's my thing. I don't really mind losing. Getting murdered multiple times a year is downright embarrassing and when we don't make the tourny I don't think this team has anyone to blame but themselves. Same way I felt about Davidson in the a10s last year. There's no way we should be getting blown out by these teams. drkelsey55 and BilliesBy40 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobillsgo Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 This has been probably the worst comprehensive performance I can remember in the Ford era. Just got ran out of the f****** gym. Travis got worked tonight by a Hall of Fame coach. Unfortunately he’s also gotten worked by a lot of non-HoF coaches. He is exactly who the OK St fans told us he was. laker119 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 You don’t lose to Iona by 22 and consider yourself still a good team . Luckily the A10 is bad bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseOfTheBillikens Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 For the first time I think it's pretty obvious Travis isn't the answer. You can't lose by 20+ against Iona. This is supposed to be the year. This can't happen. End of story. Real hard look is required. kappy96 and drkelsey55 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
