Lord Elrond Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Ball State was pressing all game, some of the turnovers were due to that, but hardly all of them. A lot of bad passes, something to work on. Billikens also picked a bad time to go cold shooting in the 4th quarter, they were 21-36 and 3-4 from 3pt range the first 3 quarters, but only 6-17 and 0-3 from 3pt range in the 4th quarter, if they shot like they did in the first 3 quarters they win this. 8 more turnovers led to a 36-22 advantage in points off turnovers for Ball State, very hard to overcome. Kyla McMakin got 22 pts on 50% shooting, and Peyton Kennedy got 20 pts and 11 rebounds (4 offensive rebounds), so great game for her. Clean up the turnovers and avoid the bad shooting quarters, things to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I am waiting to see what happens when Martinez returns. If things are still bad, then it's time to have a bit of a convo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Julia Martinez dressed out warming up with the team in pre-game shoot around. Right knee is wrapped, but she looks like she has full mobility, hope to see some minutes from her tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 13-9 Billikens, neither team shooting well, SLU has a huge rebounding advantage. TO’s under control. Go Billikens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 41-22 Billkens at the half, shooting has improved over 1st qtr ( nowhere to go but up actually). TO’s under control, 7 for each team, SLU out rebounding them by a ridiculous margin, 31-14. Julia Martinez in only 10 minutes has 6 pts, 8 rebounds, 4 assists. Also, in the first few minutes she nearly wiped out running to the chairs court side chasing a ball. Julia got to be Julia. They are doing what they need to do.

Lord Elrond Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 64-38 after 4, Billikens in control, way outrebounding them 41-24. TO’s still under control, only 11 so far, and that includes a couple they shouldn’t have given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnovers down, defense great, rebounding outstanding. Mia Nicastro had the best game she’s had all year, Marcavia Shavers had a good game. Only real down side was Peyton Kennedy didn’t shoot well, but the rest of the team did. Play D like that, crash the boards like that, keep the turnovers down, things should be better. Going to Chaifetz tonight was apparently the correct decision. Pistol likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 37-37 tie at the half in Methdale against SIU. SIU is ranked much higher than SLU, and is one of the better teams in forcing turnovers (which has been a problem for SLU), but that seems to be under control, as SLU has 9 TO’s and given up only 5 pts on the turnovers, while they have forced 11 TO’s and gotten 14 pts off those TO’s. Saluki’s have a large rebounding advantage, 25-12, while shooting has been even for both teams, with SLU starting slow in 1st qtr, but picking it up in the 2nd.

Lord Elrond Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 56-55 SLU after 3 qtrs, close game. Kennedy Calhoun with 4 fouls, but Camree Clegg playing well. Need to do better on rebounds in the 4th. So far a good game for SLU on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 75-67 loss for SLU, they lost it on bad shooting in the 4th qtr, 2-16, which is not going to get it done. SLU only had 16 TO’s all game, which considering that SIU was in the top 10% of teams in forcing turnovers was pretty good. Not sure where the rebounding went, SIU had 46 to SLU’s 30, which is not a recipe for success. Kyla McMakin and Brooklyn Gray had 15 pts each, Camree Clegg had 11 pts. Unfortunately the schedule does no favors for the Billikens, next game on the road Dec 16th against #31 Green Bay (and Natalie McNeal, former Billiken) and after that on the road against #76 Illinois State Dec 19th. Tough games to finish to the non-conference schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Not a good first qtr (massive understatement). 25-8 lead for Green Bay, SLU has 8 turnovers to 4 for Green Bay, is being out-rebounded 9-3, and is shooting 36% from the field to 64% for Green Bay. Yuck. Need to do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
