This is the first game I've missed in a while, but I'm very pleased they're only down 3 at half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Billiken defense keeping it somewhat close , but the offense only shooting 26% the 3rd quarter makes it tough. Billikens down 52-40 at the end of three. Improved offensive shooting is a must this quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Yeah, shooting <30% in back-to-back quarters against a 17-4 team is not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 72-61 loss for the Billikens. Thanks to defense and turnovers, Billikens managed to get 67 shot attempts to only 42 from the Spiders, but brutal shooting doomed them.

White Pelican Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 68-35 SLU after 3. A few of the bench players have been in and we're still maintaining a plus 30 score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, BrettJollyComedyHour said: Big oof for the Dayton women I was at the home game vs Dayton earlier and was surprised how bad they played. We let a big lead evaporate and missed a bunch of FT's late but survived in that one 74-70. Dayton just doesn't have a very good team this year IMO.

I was pretty ignorant of Dayton WBB until 2016ish, but jeez they had a 19 year run of really good teams, so it's definitely their turn to be bad.

Coach Shauna Green had a good run such that she was lured away to brighter lights. I'm too lazy to look it up where she went, but I think the program is probably trying to rebuild. ETA Green to Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Had to miss the game due to family, just saw the replay. Question: why don’t we have dogs doing tricks with frisbees during our halftime? They showed some of the Dayton halftime, and I gotta say love the dogs… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Interesting stat from Max Sports, guess who is leading the state of Illinois in made 3pters among girls basketball players? SLU committed recruit MIA Bergstrom from St Viator in Arlington Heights, IL with 101. Next highest is someone with 79.

Lord Elrond Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 66-58 loss to Davidson. This game was ours to take, we managed to take 62 FGA’s to only 44 for Davidson, won the TO battle 21-15, so defense was good, but we only shot 36/17/92. Brooklyn Gray was our leading scorer with 15 pts on 7-15 shooting, but Kyla McMakin was 3-17 and Peyton Kennedy 3-11. Have to be more efficient on offense. Telecast kept getting cut off, but give Davidson credit, they at least filled up the commercial breaks with something other than dead air.

Both the men’s and women’s seasons are extremely disappointing and both programs are in sad shape. Except for the flukey 11 game run last year, Tillet’s record is horrendous, something like 15-32. Ford has to be fired and next year’s women’s team is currently devoid of talent. May and Oberle have to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May and Oberle have to go. I think if Tillett doesn't get to the tournament and win the A-10 Tournament last year, we'd be having a different conversation. This season is for sure disappointing, but I think she gets one or two more seasons to recruit and coach up before anything happens. May's standard for the women's coaching change was to "make the NCAA tournament regularly." I'd prefer an AD who actually gives the resources for a women's team to do that. Women's basketball is on the upswing and now having a good women's team can be nearly as important as having a good men's team. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu92 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Lisa Stone got job because Majerus recommended her and backed it, so May had to hire her and it worked out ok. 100% Dan Rolfes would’ve taken SLU job, however a hire like that intimidates Chris May and this is the result. May has to get all the credit and needs to hire controllable people because of his insecurity. Honestly I say let Chris May do a huge national search for a new wbb and mbb coach and the candidates he doesn’t like that’s who gets the jobs. Always take the opposite opinion of May and SLU will be next Gonzaga. We’ve been looking at everything so wrong all these years. Just need to know what we are dealing with!

Like if two people got together and wanted to intentionally sabotage an athletic program, they wouldn’t do as good of a job as these two, who would both pass a lie detector test believing they do great work and can’t be replaced. They have to have pictures of Fred or Chaifetz, that is the only reason I can believe they are kept around, not just for their pretty faces. Place is a disaster. billikenbill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Women's team - you have to give the coach at least 3 -4 years to build their program especially if the team was really down like ours was when she came in. May and his entourage can stay - saves some money - but you can't let him hire the new coach - he can be on a small committee (3-4) but his vote carries no more power than the others. After the new coach is hired you can start to ease him out. The problem with getting rid of him now is that by the time you hire a new AD you will miss the window for a decent men's team hire. At this point you neuter him and let him take care of the day to day stuff and that is really it. What I am afraid of is that he hamstrung us with the Champion Center since we owe a bunch on that.
