The best defense with this team is putting the best offensive 5 on the floor and hoping for the best.

I guess I started watching him more than usual after the tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 My first time seeing the boys in person this year. Was able to get back to STL for the game. I was impressed by the effort level, but we just could not match up with them physically. Agree with all these posts about our non-existent defense. We had one really nice sequence where we mixed things up for one possession, threw a 1-3-1 at them and scored a turnover. But too little of that and too much letting them get the 3s they wanted, getting to the bucket, getting offensive rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soderball Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Would Hasan French and Jordan Goodwin allow 95 points in our building? We should be ashamed. Stop worrying so much about how much we score, worry about giving up 80+ game after game after game. This is so unbelievable to watch. I'm just dead to it. Tired of watching pointsball. No more f'ing points. pointspointspointspointspoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Stops these days means Stop hitting 3’s against our D. VCU scored 49 points against DU and won. Against us 95. Hello, how can we be this bad on D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I liked Parker’s defense tonight. A few lapse, but very active and causes issues. Him and LHJ were above average defenders. The rest, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 There were no bright spots on defense. Individual or team. They're all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Parker was better defensively not that it matters if the other 10 players don’t try either. But it was refreshing to see Parker score and 30 and try on defense. Again, not that it matters bc he’s showcasing his skills for a T10 team next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderdan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The Hughes tech, in the first half summed up the season. Tie game, we get a steal, and draw a foul. The tech gives VCU two free throws (which they drain), AND they hit a three on the follow-up possession. Larry misses his free throw opportunity, and a tie game (with possession of the ball) turns into a 5-point deficit. willie and dlarry like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech was brutal, but if I’m going to pick only one reason for why we lost, it was our 3 point shooting. Sincere a solid 4-6, our other three big guns: 2-6, 1-5, 0-5….and many of them wide open. VCU did not miss their open shots. We’re not going to win any shootouts with those kind of percentages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 No excuse for this lack of defense. Have some pride. Lock your man up. Worst defense Bills team I’ve ever seen. Embarrassing. slufan13 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing. Agreed. We fall for every jab-step and head-fake. Opponent blows right past us, and we expect a teammate to bail us out, instead of beating the opponent to a spot, or standing on the baseline so he can’t drive by. Once the help comes, it opens us up for an alley-oop or an open 3. And, if the opponent somehow misses, we rarely grab the first rebound.

Parker’s shot making is crazy. His development can be considered a massive bright spot- Main objective outside of nailing the HC hire is keeping him at SLU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
