I went to the Missouri game and it may have been an outlier but ther were other options. Cleg [sp] apeared to have a nice outside shot.

Lord Elrond Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 79-75 win over UIC. As per usual, while losing entering the 4th, they end up winning. Peyton Kennedy with 29 pts, 12-12 from the field, 5-5 from free throws, yes please, do more of that. Literally cannot do better shooting the ball. Sadly, I was unable to attend.

billikenbill Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Turnovers amounted to a baker’s two dozen. Also, 12-12 and 5-5 by Kennedy, that’s decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I was unable to attend. 12-12 is a new program record (2 players had previously gone 10-10). 29 points on just 12 FG attempts is crazy. For reference, McMakin set the single game record of 40 points last season, but she took 33(!) FGs. Here is the latest from Stu on Julia Martinez. She can sometimes be turnover prone herself, but is steadier than Calhoun and her presence as a ball-handler was clearly missed versus UIC.

However, they also play 12/3, 12/6, and 12/9 before a break until 12/16. "Soon" as the timeline could reasonably result in her missing 0 to 4 games. I could be wrong here, but don't think SLU has any at-large hopes despite being picked near the top of the A-10. That means non-conference W/L isn't super important (aside from possibly NIT implications or ancillary benefits to the program). Then A-10 play is all about getting a good seed for the tournament and setting yourself up to win the A-10 tournament is most important. All this is to say that rushing Martinez back for a non-conference game would be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some years where the A10 women have had multiple bids, last year if URI and UMass had played each other in the conf championship might have been one of those years, but some team from Mid-town St Louis ended both their NCAA hopes.

Yeah I think at this point in SLU WBB history your non-con schedule only serves as an extra benchmark for year in year out improvement. Assuming WBB continues on a steady upward trajectory it will be a few more years before at-large bids are realistically on the table at the beginning of seasons and even then, as LE said, it's kind of up to the A10 to do its part as well. If they would have gone 2 for 2 in Hawaii, I think it would have been squarely on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Well that was not a great game. Need to start out better, and need Julia Martinez back. Refs also sucked. Oh well, next game Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 37-34 lead for the Billikens at half, Kyla McMakin and Peyton Kennedy playing well, game was slowed by refs, who appeared at times to not know a game was actually supposed to be going on. Oh well. BrettJollyComedyHour likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 52-51 SLU after 3, Peyton Kennedy already has a double-double, not sure how the Ball St coach hasn’t gotten a T yet, it’s not for lack of trying, that’s for sure.
