SLU v. GW GDT; Did you hear about the basketball team that doesn’t have a website?

[Fraz]

Unsung hero: Gibson Jimerson.  Was Bishop’s primary defender and held him 5/23.  Played all 40 minutes.  Fantastic!

[Dr Bird]

big win for a lot of reasons.   our offense was hard to defend with different players running the show at different times.  Perkins was awesome.

Nice win without Yuri. Free throws started out horrendous but made them down the stretch. Love seeing vintage Perkins today. Not impressed with the big men but maybe just an off day.
 

And how terrible were the announcers?!? From hearing nonstop about how SLU was a preseason top 25 to them shattering eardrums on any GW three point attempt 

Forrester cleaned it up in second half imo. I thought he was an underrated contributor 

[Compton]

[Adman]

27 from Perk

24 from Pickett

Who saw this coming? Very nice.

[Compton]

Now hopefully SIUE crushes Lindenwood in tonight's inaugural Battle of the 'burbs.

I think Jimerson had an underrated game on D today, he guarded Bishop most of the afternoon and I think he deserves some credit.

[dlarry]

This is as happy as I’ve been about a win in a long time.

In the road without their leader. Honestly, I didn’t think they had a chance. 
what a great TEAM win!!

[Bay Area Billiken]

I am pleasantly surprised SLU beat GW on the road without Yuri. Both Perkins and Pickett assumed the Scottie Pippen Pipen Point Forward role, to near perfection. Bravo Billikens️

They need Collins to put the ball in a place to score.

We won because Perkins came back with the best shooting in the A10. And Pickett.

We hit the slashline and then some. That's a winner. GWs 3 point shooting was horrendous.

Per the announcer, Bishop was 5-24 from the field.

It's hard to stay fast when guys are playing injured. Parker should be playing.

That is true. I also think fatigue was a factor. 

[BrettJollyComedyHour]

4-1 in the conference now, good stuff.

[Matty Light]

Tied for first place. On to the CHI!

0 pts 1 reb 2 TOs combined from Okoro/Forrester. Fix that and I like our chances.

Jake 2nd half 5 points 10 rebounds.

I thought Jake was good.

Larry didn’t have the best game, but a freshman steps up to the stripe and puts 2 FTs in.  Ice in the veins

A freshman playing with senior  confidence. 

Nothing impressive on the stat sheet but for a freshman he’s very effective at handling the rock, understands how to play defense, and isn’t afraid to step right up to the line and knock down 2 big FTs at crunch time. 

He’s going to be a good one the next 3.5 years.

A victory on the road, by 6 pts (more than the spread), huge.

3 points over the spread anyway.  I’ll take it.

Home broadcast team.

Sometimes the players who get use to standing around and letting the top player do everything but when he is not there, everybody has to actually do their part.  Sounds like this is what happened today.

Sounds like an excellently coached and planned game to me.  Great job Coach Ford and staff!

I wouldn’t say people just stand around with Yuri.  They can get stagnant at times sure.

I’d like to see more stretches with Perkins at point.  He was excellent initiating offense and attacking the paint with the ball.  He was in complete control

No issues with people who bash ford when he messes up. It’s annoying when people can’t give him his props too
