Lord Elrond Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 Brooklyn back on the bench, looks like right ankle taped, but doesn’t look that bad, hopefully it wasn’t too bad. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 13, 2024 Posted January 13, 2024 74-70 Billiken win. Extra free throw practice this week I’m guessing Quote

Oh well, it was a win, I’ll take it. I’m glad to see Brooklyn Gray looking to be alright at the end of the game. Moving a little slowly maybe, but after that messy spill she took and the way they carried her off the court, I thought there was a very serious injury. Hopefully she’ll be ready for the GM game.

I agree, we need her inside presence. Anytime we beat Dayton is like 2 wins in 1. OkieBilliken 1 Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 GM came out hot, shooting 69% for the first quarter, they have a 23-11 lead. A few too many turnovers and fouls for the Billikens, but GM looks like a really good team on its home court. Might be a tough night. They are undefeated at home. Quote

Lord Elrond Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 47-32 GM at the half, GM now only shooting 53%, but still looking good. SLU only 2-10 from 3pt range, going to be hard to catch up. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Julia Martinez, on the floor fighting for the ball, made a great pass to Peyton Kennedy for an assist on a bucket. Highlight reel play. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 68-43 GM after 3, they are shooting 56% for the game, Julia Martinez and Kennedy Calhoun both with 4 fouls, not looking good. 18 TO’s by SLU, that’s a problem. GM has just looked flat out good on offense. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 Technical on Tillett, she’s fed up with the refs, she got tossed from the game after drawing 2 Technicals, looks like Jimmy Colloton coaches the rest of the way, 6 straight free throws for GM. Even the GM announcing crew said Tillett had a point, bad calls from the ref. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 91-61 loss for SLU, GM 51% for the game. @Pistol’s lookalike, Associate Coach Jimmy Colloton, had no magic answers to bring them back. 21 TO’s by the Billikens, several of them on bad passes. Coach Tillet not so respectfully disagreed with the refereeing of the game. Oh well. TheChosenOne 1 Quote

GM had a week off, came on strong and rested, they are way up in NET ratings, up around 50 or so. They’ve been a tough team this year, unbeaten on their home court. They just flat out looked good on offense and didn’t let up. This is a good team SLU just played. Quote
White Pelican Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 Women up 37-22 at the half at GW. Game on espn+. Kennedy with 14, McMakin with 11, Shavers with 10, Calhoun with 2. That's everybody that's scored. TheChosenOne 1 Quote
White Pelican Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 52-41 after three, still Bills in the lead. Started off the quarter badly and gave up much of the halftime lead, but settled down and has maintained a lead of 10 or so. Quote
White Pelican Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 Women beat GW 66-56. McMakin 21, Kennedy 20 points. Had some ups and downs but a nice road win. OkieBilliken 1 Quote

I think the women will be better positioned in the conference than the men this year. Road wins have been scarce, but the non-con was more challenging. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 Sorry I missed the game, had to deal with a friend heading unexpectedly into the hospital, I’ll catch the replay when I can. A road win is always a good win. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Tough game today, Billikens face Richmond, who’s 17-4 and 7-1 in the conference. I don’t think Dr Chaifetz stuck around for the game. Too bad, he could have gotten a free Billiken bead bracelet, free heart shaped sunglasses, and gotten his picture taken next to a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 16-16 after one quarter, Billikens battling. Quote

When SLU won 11 of 12 last season, Richmond was the sole loss in that stretch. Would be cool to get them back, especially given that they're stronger this season. Took 2 minutes, but Richmond was first on the board in the second quarter with a 3. SLU missing easy layups. Grrrrr. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Bad shooting quarter for the Billikens, but good defense continuing all game, 29-26 Richmond at the half. Several of those missed layups should have gone in. Only 21% for the second quarter. They lead the TO battle, forcing 14 the first half. Quote
Pistol Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Thought SLU was shooting its way out of the game with a brutal second quarter offensively, but they forced 10 turnovers and are only down 3 at halftime. Quote
