slu72 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 As usual they tease us but I love the W! This game scared me. Quote
Fraz Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Great win. I’ve watched this exact game 10 times this year. Great stretches followed by lulls in shot making, rebounding, and turnovers. We take punches all afternoon. But when the cards are on the table we show up. It’s a resilient group. What’s unique about this group is how drastic the swings often are in these games. We can look like a 2nd weekend team and give up a 15-0 run in the same half. Billikenbooster and MusicCityBilliken 2 Quote
Fraz Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I’d also be interested to see if we’ve played a game all year where we’ve had more attempts than our opponent. Quote

Streakiest SLU team I can remember. Double digit lead or deficit means nothing. Swope and Jimerson at the end of games has been nothing short of special to me Quote

Dr Bird Posted March 13 Posted March 13 A lot of teams would love to have our Big 3, who are playing elite basketball. The Big 3 plus 3 pretty good role players in Anya, Kobe, and McCottrey will certainly give Loyola cause for concern. Quote

MusicCityBilliken Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Please open up the NIL for McCottrey. He is going to be special! For some reason I worry about him over Avila. Quote
Fraz Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Anya and Mcottrey were perfect from the field Swope and Gibson were 11/20 from deep Avila flirted with a triple double Get TOs under 10 and clean up the O boards a bit, we can dance Quote

Crewsorlose Posted March 13 Posted March 13 The team won. Exerted more energy than they needed to after a hot start but they trailed about two total minutes. Loyola is comparatively ranked on Kenpom and looking to avenge the thumping they took on 3/1. It's a 50/50 game but we have the best players. Then it's a balls out game, most likely vs. VCU. I really hope the Schertz considers playing Warlick more in that game. His physicality was key in the victory over VCU. Quote
Old guy Posted March 13 Posted March 13 SLU's MBB team has a lot of injuries and people who cannot play. But we just do not give up. Regardless of what the opposition does, we fight to the end. We did today and we won. Now we have to beat Loyola tomorrow, and, with divine help, St. Bona has to beat VCU tomorrow to help clearing our path to the finals. Whichever way it goes, we will do our very best to get the job done. Go Bills! David King 1 Quote
OkieBilliken Posted March 13 Posted March 13 One more win gets us to the Travis 20! But overall nice win. Game played out kind of like they all do this year. Conference tournaments are always special though. Sometimes dudes playing in likely their final game (Zach Laput) go off. Tomorrow should be fun. Quote

ACE Posted March 13 Posted March 13 4 minutes ago, White Pelican said: Anya +11, Bailey -9 for what it's worth. Anya was excellent defensively and remember, he has to cover for a lot of Robbie's shortcomings, and his rebound that led to bucket was huge because the game was starting to slip away at that point.
