Game Thread - @ SLU 4pm Sat 1/17 CBS Sports Network

14-7 when he sat Aiden with 2 fouls. Didn't put him back in until it was 27-10. Un freaking believable. You get 5 fouls!!!!! And, guards can protect themselves from fouling much easier than bigs can. Inexcusable for one of our best players to only play 6 1st half minutes because he has 2 fouls.

I wonder if SLU has a leafy campus.

Down 26.

Thomas switches onto Avila, another layup.

 

[Spiderguy]

anything the spiders are getting is via 1 on 1.

Moonball offense at its finest. Great against lazy and poorly coached defenses, awful when teams crank up pressure or face real defensive schemes/players.

So, are you saying wins over VMI and Citadel didn’t prepare us for St L?

Ready to fire up a billboard?

Avila on Argabright and that is 3 PF on Aiden, great job coaches!

"Why are they switching a guard on the biggest and best player on the other team?"

We have brought him in now…to guard Avila.

Argabright on Avila, picks up 3rd foul

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

Walz and Tyne zero points combined after 24m of play.

Not watching anymore, but not surprised. SLU coaches have to be laughing at how easy it is for them to get that mismatch.

Inexcusable.

 

[fan2011]

Is our entire team in on a point shaving scheme?

Inexcusable.

 

[Spider2020]

Should have had a game plan to throw it in to Walz and have him attack. You would think Walz would be fired up to show his stuff vs Avilla today. But looks like he is a no show too.

He had his good game this month already, he won’t be back til February

No it's a urban campus a mile or two west of downtown. Actually in a pretty nice area not too far from where the St. Louis World's Fair was.

Damn, when you’re losing VT, maybe we are close to ending this nightmare.

He, like the rest of the team, are soft players who don't like contact.

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

just play the 4 freshmen and one other player the rest of the way.

upperclassmen have been a joke today with exception of Lopez.

Get the Moon train pushing the goalposts further down the road.

AP nowhere close on another 3. 10-48 from 3 on season. when will it end? When he's under 20% (3 more attempts)?

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

3 freshmen, Tyne and AP - UR's 2 worst offensive players. lol.

 

[vt4700]

AP was 28-108 from 3 last year, so he probably has another 60 attempts in him. But, he needs to get hot to match last year's 25.9% shooting.
