Dr. Holly Hills Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Terrible StJ team almost hangs an 80 on us… 16 turnovers. Same of the same. Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Conference is a grind. You take every road win by any number and move on. JC, reading this board you would think we lost by 20. brianstl, CenHudDude, AGB91 and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBilliken Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Good win after the disaster last game! Expectations were lower, so it was good to close out a game. There were still too many mistakes on offense throughout the game, and defense tightened just enough at the end. Otherwise we were not able to shut down St. Josephs offense. Good games by Jimerson, Forrester, Pickett, Collins, and it was great to see Hughes and Parker contribute. Good effort by St. Josephs.

billikenbill Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Be interesting to see if Travis follows through on his comment about LHJ getting more mins. as the season goes on. He looks like a big-time talent to me. You have to wonder if the rotation expands to 10 or if someone loses mins. Despite the bad 3 pt. miss by TJ, he’s playing better and deserves mins. I’d say it’s time to flip the roles of Franco and Jake. Start Jake, split the mins. about 25/15 and see how it works out. On to UMass who’s getting blown out by the Bonnies. Got to get better.

drkelsey55 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 We led by 6 with 3 minutes left then made 4 consecutive turn overs. We just can't stand success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Ya we sucked, again. But If this exact game and outcome happened at home, I’d be way more pissed. It didn’t, it was away, I’ll sleep tonight. also it wasn’t a 5 point win, it was an 8 point win. That 3 was bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Area Billiken Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 9-5, 1-0. Jimerson scored 22 points, 3-8 on 3’s, Pickett 20, Forrester 13, Hargrove 9. Yuri had 15 Assists. SLU would have beaten the 7 point spread absent missing 4 FT’s down the stretch, the last intentionally with less than a second left, which given the key margin of victory component of the NET, really was imprudent. This Road Win will look better with the passage of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It's crazy how bad our defense has been. I still think if we figure things out on that end, we could make a run. But it might require ditching man to man all together Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkins at least now is a liability. Yuri gets posted up by bigger guards. Not sure why we have given up on the half court trap that was successful with Forman and TJ. Just know what we are doing now isn’t working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shempie Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Seems like starting Thatch over Perkins would help on the defensive end and possibly take some pressure off JP. We sure seem to struggle on the perimeter defensively with JG, JP, and Yuri playing together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Holly Hills Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I’m happy with the W. Our offense becomes predictable at times, but we are still scoring plenty of points. You’re gonna have games where nothing is falling and clicking on offense.. you just got to be able to play solid, disciplined defense and grind out wins. Defense travels. Defense keeps big leads. Just my cliche opinion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Our offense is not team oriented. It’s Yurimania trying to find an open man who has shaken his defender, or it’s Yurimania penetrating into the woods hoping he can spot an open man. When he can’t he’ll take the contested shot. There’s no scheme to it and it becomes a free for all when we get get pressured. Coach314 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraz Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Can’t say I watched. Glad we won. I usually don’t miss games but rather watch CFB and hang w friends than watch an underachieving team BC1764 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I sure liked Yuri the point guard we saw tiday compared to Yuri the man we have been watching. Now if we can just get the okoro back we had at the end of last season Can't deny young Hughes looked good. Need to see that opportunity continue imo. Best stretches of the game we got out and ran. brianstl and Schasz like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
