Taj79 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Dalger struck me as a guy on the brink of senioritis. He seemed quite a black hole on offense ---- once the pass went to Tim, it was never (rarely) coming back. He was that way against VCU but so too was Sincere. Sincere at least could score. He's our sole creator on offense but it is a creation for mostly himself. Hopefully, this gives more developmental time to Thames, Zhang and van Bussel. Maybe go big at times with Ezewiro and Zhang and then use van Bussel for relief. If nothing else, it will show us if van Bussel can stay or should depart. thunderdan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the most selfish players ever to be a Billiken. He had moments he was very good, but more times than night he'd dribble into trouble then throw up a shot that had absolutely no chance. I won't miss him hope the family "personal problems" work out. I don't wish family concerns on anyone. billikenbill, DOC and slu92 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always confuse The Big Chill (great soundtrack) and Grand Canyon. 2 great movies, both with STL’s own Kevin Kline. Wish nothing but the best for Tim’s future endeavors. Also looking forward to this program starting a new chapter this spring (fingers crossed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soderball Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Can't believe the billikens.com MBM community is missing an opportunity to make reference to the all-time Billiken Great, Obi Ikeakor. Once upon a time this message board would have been calling for Paystubs and to finally bring about the Obi Ikeakor Memorial Concession Stand.

3star_recruit Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Good luck to Tim. He averaged 2 ppg as a sophomore in high school, improved enough by his senior year to go to a decent juco, developed into an all-conference player and then put up decent numbers at the mid-major level. His motor can never be questioned. Hope it works out wherever he ends up. CenHudDude likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s being overlooked. What else is there to say at this point? We’re all numb and this program is approaching dumpster fire status. Hoping like hell we hit the restart button this spring (barring some massive disaster, Ford isn’t getting canned before the end of the season). I also still wish the best for Tim even though he is incapable of passing the basketball. 2010andBeyond likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 This past off-season looks worse and worse the further into the season we get. Took on multiple guys with eligibility concerns, a guy who eventually gets kicked off the team, 2 de-committed players, and were also allegedly strung along by the Memphis big man. Doesn’t really seem like a great sign of where the program is at. stmdragons likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would be totally fine if they weren’t just constantly full of sh*t. I’m not leaving anything to chance.

I don’t know why CTF doesn’t play that entire bench. This team looked pretty good in the first 4 games, pressing full court, and making plays in transition. You need bodies to play that style, so use the bodies on your bench. There’s no reason Curcic is getting zero minutes. And I love the idea of playing 2 of the bigs together. SVB isn’t good (yet), but he’s big, athletic, and strong. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked pretty good against Illinois State & Southern Indiana? I want some of what you're smoking. You can't play transition with Mike Meadows and Cian Medley at the PG slot. SVB is Gillman & Jolly-level bad. He's gone next year. Curcic CAN'T PLAY. That's why he's not getting minutes. How stupid do you think Ford is? He's been coaching for 27 years. He recruited and coached Marcus Smart and Jordan Goodwin. He knows what's on this roster. He knows that he failed this year.
