slu72 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Read the post game report on the Aggies. Seems Gillespie sat Law down for 12 min for not playing D with enough intensity. Even though Gillespie has more offensive weapons, seems like he's still the taskmaster on D. A&M's success last year was playing a lot like we did . Which is to our advantage, I think. we'd feel comfortable w/ slow ball if that's what it comes down to. Hope we still push it, but it's not going to be as easy against A&M. This should be a game where every possession is valuable. And like BH said UB told them, this is a statement game. Go Bills!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 That would be the worst mistake we could make is to let the Aggies dicate a slow paced game. We need to stay with what has been working for us up till now this season - keep pushing the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 This game gives us national attention if we win. I predict that if we win this game and then beat Houston, we break the top 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardball Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Your right Cheese no way should SLU slow the pace. And for all those front running Kool-Aid drinkers who have taken the time to say I told you so about sticking to the running game let's see what happens today against a quality opponant and coach. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlumniFan Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It almost sounds like you want them to slow the game down and lose so that you can say I told you so.

tseugnekillib Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 SLU can't dictate the tempo of the game when the opponent has the ball. Yes, we can continue to play an aggressive M2M defense, but if A&M want to work for a good shot.....they are holding the ball. I believe A&M will push the ball at every opportunity.

tseugnekillib Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Law said in the local College Station paper the his coach (Billy Gillespie) has all the players "on a one-possession contract" so he was not surprised to be pulled from the game. Imagine that, a bright young coach valuing each possesion of the ball and each defensive effort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 that is silly. Kids just don't want to play for a coach like that. You can't take a kid out for poor D as long as he can bust a 3 now and then Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Official Sponser of the Stemmler and Ahearn could and would have helped club.

slu72 Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I wasn't advocating any change from our style the first 3 games. My point was if it gets into slo mo...half court...it ain't gonna be anything we haven't seen before. We should be able to deal with it. I think both coaches are going to try and push it but demand good D. Their styles and their isn't anything wrong with playing good D. Looking forward to this.

slufanskip Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was being sarcastic ... for the people who have advocated Gillespie and knocked UB for pulling people for poor D.
