Dedicated to the cause for sure. Keep up the hard work. Can't wait for another 50 redundant post tomorrow. Hey thanks Sean Mc. Appreciate your insight on X and this board. I'm sure your support will mean a lot to Coach Ford when he's at Berea College. The next time you post some intelligent insight about basketball or the coaching situation will be your first time.

Dr. Holly Hills Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 What a game! Holy cow gibby got hot! Lang has got to be one of the worst coaches in America!! I think if teams let us dribble it up the court and sit back in a zone, we have a fighting chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Cian was a difference maker. Helped shutdown their guard play to spark the comeback laye in the first half and played heavy minutes in the 2nd. He deserves the game ball. BLIKNS likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The joeys refusing to mark Jimerson as he hit what seemed like 8 threes in a row was some wild stuff. Every team has shown that all you do is stop GJ and you beat the bills. Lange is completely brain dead. Fire him too slufan13 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That was a fun win and a gutsy effort by multiple guys and the staff. Credit to them BLIKNS, billikenbill and Gremio14 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he deserves the game ball over GJ, but he had a very nice game. Not bad for someone who is too short to play in the A-10, was it?

He and Jimerson are a problem for teams who need to foul at the end of the game. thunderdan, CenHudDude and billiken_roy like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 2nd half stats: 16-28 floor, 9-14 arc, 14-15 FT which includes a stretch of 6 straight threes and 9 of 12. Included in there was the turnaround J by Dalger which was a “Dalger Dagger!” Resulted in 55 points on 35 possessions or 1.57 pts/poss. Also, only 3 turnovers which is about a perfect a half of basketball as you can play. What a turnaround after the first 15 mins. where anything that could go wrong did.

slu72 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Big time ice in his veins by Cian. For a FR to be the difference between an L and a W from the line with seconds remaining says a lot about this kid. Plus he made some nice assists. He gets trapped a few times a game in amongst the trees but he’ll learn. Bruce also gave us some good minutes in the first half. He’s getting a little better game by game. Once he figures out muscle beats finesse at this level he could be an impact player. I just hope we can keep him here.

wgstl Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 If this team played 25 minutes of good basketball instead of 20, our record might actually be respectable. Finally on the winning side, but Drake, NC state, Loychi could have all been flipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I wonder what our record would be if we had played this season healthy and with Ezewiro? MB73 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll happily give Travis a pass on Bruce, SVB and Abou ineligibility because I believe that was a clerical or competence error beyond the scope of his job description. Should he have kept tabs on it? Yes, but those who make mistakes at work tend to hide them, I've been there and done that. But they took a major gamble counting on Ezewiro and it took a major judicial decision allowing a blanket waiver for him to be eligible for the games he will be. So the question is where would we be without the saving grace of the United States judicial system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shempie Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Nice game. A few random observations. Curious if I am the only one who saw them: Dr. C sits in front of me. He looked completely disengaged until about 15 minutes left. TF looked a lot calmer on the bench last night. A couple of plays that previously would get him worked up (the last turnover and big Brad's last foul come to mind) didn't. The offense flowed much better with Meadows and Medley on the floor together. The ball actually moved more and there wasn't one guy at the top of the key pounding it into the floor deep into the clock. Hope we see more of that. The team hasn't quit on the coach. At one point in the first half the rebounds. 21-9 against. Wonder what was said to reverse that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture to guess the switch to zone by SJU made it easier to rebound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 MM needs to play as more of a SG than a PG. Not even a CG really. He's better without the ball and moving around. Ive been hard on MM, because I think he does a lot of nothing most of the time he is in, but last night was a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
