Lord Elrond Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 But apparently also on ESPN+? I guess we’ll see at 11 if it actually shows Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 22-13 Rhodey after 1st qtr. 6 TO’s by SLU, need to stop that. SLU needs to improve defense, again bad 3pt shooting (1-6) not going to work. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 35-28 Rhodey, SLU decided the way to deal with TO’s was force more, so even though they now have 12, they are winning the TO battle 13-12 by forcing 10 TO’s from URI in the quarter. Peyton Kennedy now with 15 pts, she’s been hitting her shots, but Kyla McMakin is only 2-10, need her to hit her shots to have a chance. Keep up the defense and make shots. Quote

Not a terrible deficit at the half. This is still a winnable game. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 56-51 after 3, SLU increasing the lead in the TO battle, which they started out badly behind, 18-15. Peyton Kennedy on fire with 26 pts, and Julia Martinez made a highlight reel jump shot at the buzzer. They actually tied the game twice in the 3rd qtr. Need more scoring help for Peyton from somewhere else. Quote
TRN Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 Just flipped the game on to see if Tillett challenges a fan to fight after the game. brianstl 1 Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 3 more TO’s by URI to none by SLU, 3pt game with 5 min left. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 76-73 win by SLU! What a great turnaround by SLU! They came out stone cold in the 1st and turned it over repeatedly, but pulled it out. They didn’t allow a URI FG in the last 4 1/2 minutes, and ended up forcing 25 TO’s while only ending up with 17. Peyton Kennedy with 31 pts, Kyla McMakin 17, they shot 72.7% in the 4th quarter. Career game for Peyton Kennedy. BrettJollyComedyHour and brianstl 2 Quote

Settling into that middle of the pack conference position, dangerous come tournament time. Quote
OkieBilliken Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 Just finished watching on delay. What a thoroughly enjoyable game. We don’t defend well but the last two possessions for Rhodey when they needed a 3 to tie, it was excellent. Great job ladies! Quote

The Billikens kept them from scoring another field goal the rest of the game, URI only scored 2 free throws in that span. Shut them down. OkieBilliken 1 Quote
OkieBilliken Posted February 12, 2024 Posted February 12, 2024 What I noticed watching the replay is Julia Martinez is clearly nowhere near 100%. She is still working as hard as anyone but that leg injury is preventing her from flying around like she did last year. It’s amazing the numbers she has put up this year since she has come back from the injury considering. I’m thinking this is why she didn’t start yesterday??? She is already one of the greatest Billikens of all time; just a bummer she isn’t at her best right now. Quote

Coach Tillet has been limiting her minutes, bringing her in after the first few minutes each half so she comes in fresh, stuff like that. I’m sure it’s because of her knee, and trying to keep her in when most effective. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 Definitely Pink Out Night here at Chaifetz, even Julia Martinez’s right knee is wrapped in a pink wrapping, not white. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 13-10 Billikens after the 1st qtr, nice shooting, just have to watch the turnovers. Even the refs have pink whistles. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 40-21 Billikens at halftime, Billikens are shooting 54/67/75 while holding Loy-Chi to 29/14/75 shooting. Billikens now winning the TO battle and rebounding battle. Roll Bills! Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 Finally figured out what the Billkens pink uniforms remind me of, with the white pink and blue - Baskin Robbin’s. Quote

Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 77-68 win by the Billikens. Loy-Chi remembered how to shoot in the 4th, but Bills lead to big. Overall a nice win Quote
Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 By the way, did not run into Zac tonight. Was going to tell him he didn’t know ball. Pistol, billikenbill and Billikenbooster 3 Quote
OkieBilliken Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 The pink trim around the lettering and numbers was really sharp looking. These are the best alternative unis I’ve ever seen from a SLU team. Quote
