[lhsgolf19]

48-40 with 11:45 left

[Swampy Meadows]

That was an offensive foul on Collins, right???

[Monster Man]

And another horrible call on Elvis. Collins pushed off

[TA111]

Their guy shoves Elvis and they call it on Elvis. Pathetic call.

[jack72]

Rebounds, turnovers and shooting about even. Difference right now is our poor free throw shooting (56%) and three more threes they have made.

[OSU Flyer]

these announcers might be the worst I've heard

[Jeff]

Mali....ugh.

Larry just called-out the ref on the radio feed. Nathan Ferrell. FWIW.

getting sick of Mali shooting every time.

[steverino015]

that foul call on Elvis was horrible,
Collins shoved off....

50 40 back to 10

someone other than ELvis has to get
hot also.....

[Jeff]

Even though it's #3, good foul by Camara - enough is enough inside.

Is there a stat on shots blocked. He’s got to be among the nations leaders.

Mali terrible today. Just awful

[joeybaloney]

Malachi has got to quit forcing shots. It's like he thinks he's 6'9

Effort. Effort. Effort. SLU wants it more.

[TommyGola]

Our bigs are really struggling with handling the ball. I think this is a team that could get shaken with a strong press, but we really haven't seen it.

[lhsgolf19]

55-44 SLU with 8:53 left

Such a frustrating game

[Smitty10]

Seriously, if we lose this game, it's because of our PG play more than anything else. I love Mali, and he's given us a lot and will give us a lot more, but he's losing this game for us today.

[flyerfever]

God idea to sit Smith Should have sat some in the 1st half

[pmcmullen]

Elvis has also booted the ball. A couple times.

This is why he's not our PG!

[flyerfever]

Their pg is better tha ours

[TommyGola]

Amzil cannot throw the ball into the ocean at this point.

[bcross]

We need to go small and play with some pace.

[Smitty10]

At this point, they might as well put Weaver in and start shaking off the rust.

[jack72]

Another pushoff by Collins.

[lhsgolf19]

We’ve sucked today offensively, but this officiating crew is absolutely terrible.

He's a one trick pony. Everyone knows to swat his shot at the rim. He's got nothing else. Scouting report is out!

[jack72]

I am now convinced to put a fork in one of my favorites, Amzil is well done. He is 20-70 on threes and does zero on offense otherwise.

[Marysville Flyer]

Tired of all the crying after every call. Man up, shut up and play.

Just now hitting that point? Lol!

[jack72]

How many times our we going to fall for Holmes doubling their dribbler who easily dishes to the big with no pass denial from our guys?

[redbengal]

Mali playing like a Freshman today. But his effort never lacks. He’ll learn.

Rest of the guys need to move and not just stand around as well. Just poor effort all around.

[Smitty10]

This broadcast sucks. Never a replay on calls that look iffy.

[Smitty10]

Hard to believe when Mali goes head on into 3 players there isn't anyone open to throw to.

[Jeff]

What a crap foul on Amzil....my god.

[T-Bone 84]

And Grant calls-out Farrell again for a questionable call.

[TommyGola]

These zebras are taking the Flyers out of this game. These fouls are ridiculous.

[Jeff]

Nothing new here. When is he going to be coached to adjust?

[Jeff]

Finally an offensive board.

[OSU Flyer]

I can't think of anyone who's had a bigger sophomore slump

[T-Bone 84]

Is this as hard to watch as it is to listen to? Sounds like I’m listening to my own root canal.
Posted via Mobile Device

[TommyGola]

Wasn't that an offensive foul on Collins? He led with his forearm.

[lhsgolf19]

If someone punches Yuri I'll be happy

65-50 at the under 4

[jack72]

I always stick up for refs, but these guys are terrible!

That was a definite push off by Collins, and probably about five times he has done that with no call or a foul on the defender.

Have any of our “sophomores” (Amzil, Blakney, Zimi. Brea) made significant improvement this year? Particularly considering the low bar to start.

This is not the ref's fault. We suck today.

Yes. This hard to watch. Passing is vanilla.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Monster Man]

Very frustrating game to watch with our offense (except Elvis) totally out of sync. Also, the worst officiated game I’ve seen all season.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Smitty10]

what is that, about 15 blocks on Mali shots today?

[OSU Flyer]

AG is fired up

[pmcmullen]

The heck is Grant mad about? Doesn't like getting shown up? Walk it off AG. Go home.

[TommyGola]

This mess is all about the officiating crew letting things get out of control.

I despise Saint Louis. Hopefully, we’ll get payback in the A10 tournament. A**hole coach with punk players.

Amzil is 2-5 on free throws.

It's like a different guy out there from last year

Nice assumption.

[Jeff]

Mr. Hyde showed up today.

[Monster Man]

Give Zimi Amzil’s minutes. Not giving up on the kid, but it’s not working right now.

[udx2]

Take down VCU by 30 at VCU and then get manhandled by SLU at SLU. Sounds like A10 basket. Wanted this W.

[jack72]

Mali, Camara and Holmes have won many games for us. They crapped their collective pants today.

[T-Bone 84]

Listened to the whole game, but didn’t see a minute of it. Based on the box score, Elvis was the only player who showed-up for most of it. Blakney came close. Beyond that? Uh-uh.

I would say Brea has shown signs but none of the others. In fact the others have gone backwards.

[pmcmullen]

Agreed. He's been terrible.

But today, let's be real, everyone was pretty terrible. Blame the refs. Blame AG. Blame whatever. We got smoked.

[frisco flyer]

Elvis was not terrible, but the rest of the team showed up on one side of the court and took a break on the other.

[San Diego Flyer]

Welcome to a home game in St Louis. To be expected, but didn't cost us the game. That honor goes to our pitiful shooting.

[San Diego Flyer]

No Flyer fan can be happy with this result. But when you are only down 6 points with 12.5 game minutes to play, you may have a bit of a hill to clime but you are not getting smoked. Especially on their court.

Ask VCU what it is really like to get smoked.

But did you feel like we ever really had a chance in that game, even when we cut it to 6? It felt to me like SLU was in control from the time they got their first lead.

Blakeny was in a lot of defensive plays. Decent on offense.

Him and Elvis really today

I'm speechless CT. I know that is rare, but who gives up on a single digit deficit even if it's only a precious few minutes left? We had a bucket load of time left.

I didn't give up, I just never felt like we were truly threatening SLU. Even in our few times we cut the lead they easily just pushed it back to double digits. They were never on the ropes, put it that way.

[Glen Clark]

The Flyers lost this game in the first five minutes, when it became obvious they couldn't shoot worth a d*mn. Those woes extended to the free throw line, where they left at least eleven point off the board.

It's all history now - Duquesne is next up.
