Saint Louis Game Thread

lhsgolf19 · #1 02-20-2019, 11:14 AM

Fantastic road effort last night but payback is warranted at the Arena this weekend in this year's 2nd Archbaron Cup. Let's close the Regular Season strong and finish in the Top 4.

Game is at 4 PM on Saturday Afternoon and will be shown on the CBS Sports Network.

Starting Lineup:
G 2 Tramaine Isabell Jr. 6’1” 180 SR Seattle, WA
G 0 Jordan Goodwin 6’3” 210 SO Centreville, IL
G 3 Javon Bess 6’6” 220 SR Columbus, OH
F 11 Hasahn French 6’7” 235 SO Middletown, NY
F 1 D.J. Foreman 6’8” 240 SR Spring Valley, NY

Once they are led by Bess (15.9 PPG 6.5 RPG)... Both French and Foreman are loads down low.

Hopefully they learned from Game 1... Box out and Rebound!

Get the job done! Go UD!

King, that is way better than VCU...not even close.

Beatty Town Coach · #5 02-22-2019, 09:11 AM

French and Foreman are big, but Flyers frontline is big enough; I believe Josh, Obi, Ryan, and Trey , will win this battle.

jack72 · #6 02-23-2019, 10:31 AM

St Louis is not very big. What they are is tough. They punch you, maul you and make you back down. We must not back down today!

I just hope Trey is healthy enuf to dish it out, and take it too

Swampy Meadows · #8 02-23-2019, 03:41 PM

The Arena is a sea of red. Ran into John R before the game and he approves of this message.

OSU Flyer · #9 02-23-2019, 03:47 PM

Sounds like freshman KC Hankton and Demarious Jacobs along with Senior Dion Wiley could be out today

flyerfever · #10 02-23-2019, 03:54 PM

Bring it hard and long. We owe them.

Flyers shooting (and missing) too many threes

13-9 SLU with 11 to go... Josh with 2 FTs after the break

jack72 · #16 02-23-2019, 04:21 PM

Cunningham with a great follow and then terrible lazy defense.

TommyGola · #17 02-23-2019, 04:21 PM

Flyers are giving up the lane and the baseline. There is no rotational help at all.

forego1 · #18 02-23-2019, 04:23 PM

their head is in this game, so it is inconceivable that they won't win

forego1 · #19 02-23-2019, 04:23 PM

dayton, I mean.. at home.. better team

TommyGola · #20 02-23-2019, 04:26 PM

Earth to Jalen!!!!!!!!!

TommyGola · #21 02-23-2019, 04:27 PM

The last four possessions - one bad shot at the clock and three turnovers.

steve · #22 02-23-2019, 04:28 PM

Once again this is like watching a high school team. They need a point guard to take control.

Showme Flyer · #23 02-23-2019, 04:28 PM

Can they please add a flopping call

lhsgolf19 · #24 02-23-2019, 04:29 PM

17-9 SLU with 6:50 left... SLU's D is stifling us right now

TommyGola · #25 02-23-2019, 04:30 PM

Policelli's foul could have gone either way...good to see him put the ball on the floor.

Jeff · #26 02-23-2019, 04:30 PM

Not much movement on O. Need to get back to inside out.

steve · #27 02-23-2019, 04:30 PM

26 games into the year and they have no clue still how to get the ball into the middle and flash.

jack72 · #28 02-23-2019, 04:31 PM

Wow 4-15 and 1-7 on threes. 14-9 on rebounds. This is butt ugly.

TommyGola · #29 02-23-2019, 04:31 PM

This falling behind in key games is unnerving.

flyerfever · #30 02-23-2019, 04:31 PM

SLU will continue to slow walk this thing until we poke them

I've said 3-4 times this year I've seen the worst half of basketball I've ever seen and yet this might take precedent.

jack72 · #32 02-23-2019, 04:33 PM

Can we get Frankie out for Cunningham

lhsgolf19 · #33 02-23-2019, 04:36 PM

19-14 SLU with 3:05 left... Josh with 2 FTs after the break

flyerfever · #34 02-23-2019, 04:37 PM

Have Mikesell flash in the lane a bit vs this zone

forego1 · #35 02-23-2019, 04:39 PM

what you can't see is that they are in the moment
no, they cannot play well, but well enough to win

Jeff · #36 02-23-2019, 04:41 PM

go inside = good results

TommyGola · #37 02-23-2019, 04:42 PM

Big stick-back by Mikesell. Hopefully they will have the momentum going into the half.

Christ. The biggest pile of fecal matter half, and we finish up 1.

How in the world?

TommyGola · #42 02-23-2019, 04:48 PM

Quite a play at the end of the half...great court awareness by Mikesell.

Flyer 86 · #43 02-23-2019, 04:48 PM

Tracking from the Hofstra game ( they are losing to JameMadison). All shades of ugly this UD Game, just from box score.

Holy crap!

Jalen nowhere to be found

forego1 · #44 02-23-2019, 04:49 PM

LOL you never saw ball rotation from this team, as Like on the last possession

jack72 · #45 02-23-2019, 04:49 PM

Ugly, ugly but we'll take it.

Shot 33% to their 37%. Rebounds only 19-17. Winning it at the foul line with 3-5 lol.

jack72 · #46 02-23-2019, 04:50 PM

Turnovers 7 to their 6

TommyGola · #47 02-23-2019, 04:50 PM

It is obvious that Cohill has no confidence in his outside shot. He had two open looks and on both occasions chose to wildly penetrate instead. He traveled on the first one and threw up a wild shot on the second. He needs to work hard on his jump shot this summer or he will struggle for playing time next year.

shwag33 · #48 02-23-2019, 04:50 PM

SLU is a bad matchup for us. They have the big guys to defend the paint and we don't have the consistent shooters from the outside.

forego1 · #49 02-23-2019, 04:53 PM

You know, that last possession WAS ugly, but the ball was Always going to get in the basket

Agree, but we missed a ton of wide open looks early. We were banging the rock off the backboard, flat of the rim, just ugly shooting.

TommyGola · #51 02-23-2019, 05:02 PM

Big, athletic front lines give us problems. Shooting the three-ball well would open things up.

flyerfever · #52 02-23-2019, 05:02 PM

Some buckets in transition would be nice

Another big stick-back by Mikesell at a time when we had some momentum. Then, his court awareness kicked in with a great slip pass.

TommyGola · #58 02-23-2019, 05:11 PM

French has three fouls. That guy is a load inside.

jack72 · #59 02-23-2019, 05:11 PM

Rebounds, turnovers and shooting% dead even.

Jeff · #60 02-23-2019, 05:17 PM

Thank goodness they took the lids off the hoops at half.

Jordan had the break going and threw it into the third row! Mikesell is playing extremely well.

He is a bit "schizophrenic" in his game.

jack72 · #68 02-23-2019, 05:21 PM

Davis gets some kind of nervous twitch when he gets in traffic. That is his 3rd turnover.

Beautiful penetration and kick-out.

lhsgolf19 · #72 02-23-2019, 05:32 PM

56-48 UD with 7;25 left... Confident Stroke by Trey there

Jeff · #73 02-23-2019, 05:32 PM

Landers shot looks better.

TommyGola · #74 02-23-2019, 05:32 PM

Our guards lose focus on fast breaks and end up with turnovers way too often. They never use the bounce pass which is extremely effective on a break.

flyerfever · #75 02-23-2019, 05:33 PM

Cohill need not see th floor for a bit

11 turnovers are holding our cart back.

especially with no one posting who is making shots for UD..... I would of figured down by 10 at the half....

Strong take by Landers. That should do it. Don’t think Billikens have enough firepower/gas to come back

Another bad pass with the press on. Get the ball in the hands of Crutcher and let him dribble through the press.

Completely different team when our guards hit a few jumpers.

jack72 · #95 02-23-2019, 05:48 PM

Stop the lob passes. They are looking for them and are quick leapers.

67-60 with 51.9 left... UD Ball

That is street-ball that Isabell is playing. He is a tough one to contain.
