The Wiz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 General Outlook...."Juan" is taking a siesta. For the 1st time this season the A10 is showing the possibility of having 2 bids...Day ...4th seed in the Dance...Rich ...50% chance to Dance ...St. B...NIT...58%. Meanwhile, back in the pen, we are preparing for another battle of the PIGs. If we want to climb out of the sty we need to win this game. Let's take a look at the game Game Preview.... As you can see by the headline, the computer thinks we can win this game. Why? Hasn't the computer been watching? Yes, that's why it thinks we can win. We are the better team on offense. We are better shooters ...we should sweep the slash line. And while we are terrible on D, they are only a hair better. Rose, Gray and Rivera are their main guys...Rose from the arc and the other 2 on the inside. Tsimbila is a big shot blocker. Don't dribble into him and get swatted away. Finally, Fham is a team that turns the ball over(D- ). Turn them over. Let's take a look at this game's report card.... Report Card.... The card is negative....none up and 4 down(3 Off and 1 Def)...... .................SLU............Fham................SLU...................Fham ...........................OFF..........................................DEF.............

Their 3P D is not very good ...hopefully, we can hit from the arc. They can't shoot --UNLESS we leave them wide open....this includes points off TOs too. WWN2D2W...Target slash-- beat them in all 3 categories of the slash....Hold Fham to 70 pts....Win the TO battle....Hold their top 3 to under 30 pts...Hold Tsimbila to 1 blk. Bottom line....Fham can't beat us...We either win the game or we give them the game. Let's not be sheepish...let's bring it to them.

Aquinas Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Fham gets a F, from the freethrow line. Hmm. That sounds like the kind if team we can defend. OkieBilliken and SLUMedBilliken15 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Fordham is coming off an 83-69 home court loss to Richmond. The progeny was at the game in The Bronx. Fordham is 9-12, 3-5, right now a fellow PIG pillow fighter with SLU. Fordham's NET is 182. SLU's NET is 247. This is a game SLU really should win on its home court. Fordham has never beaten SLU in St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 17 minutes ago, The Wiz said: This might work as long as we don't foul Gray...he is their FT shooter.. 79% I am continually amazed at how unsophisticated most college coaches are compared to the pros. We saw very little of hack French especially if they had fouls to give. Very few coaches take advantage of 2 for 1 situations. Overall time management.

Soderball Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Fordham is a horrendous, no good, very bad team. I tend to agree with Wiz, but i think the computer is not weighting enough bad Billiken basketball.. Soderball says "EVEN!" .. 3pt% over/under is 40%. At home this bunch is able to do that. longtimelistenerfirsttimec likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I can't take SLU in any game. Odds are they run us off the court. SLUMedBilliken15 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have not been seeing the actual games just listening by radio and waiting for Ford's interview at the end. I believe there is bad juju going on between the coach and the team. The 2 pts in favor of SLU means the win could go either way. However if there is a bad situation going on between the team and the coach, as I think there is, I think it is most likely that Fhm will win. We will see.

Soderball Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I don't think Curcic is any good and he will probably be gone next year. BUT; he is just as good with the ball and handling point and "defense" as this Medley/Meadows combo(terrible) .. he has the added bonus that he can actually shoot decently. May as well play him for 12-20 mins a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
