vs SIU Dogs 1/15/19

[bombay]

Oh. A win.

 

[Racine Bird 3813]

In a battle of #1 Valpo @ #2 Loyola- Loyola is up 24 now. Maybe our loss at Loyola wasn't so bad.
We've played good stretches the last two games. now the challenge is putting the full 40 min together.

 

[Brick]

Despite everything we are gonna end up a game out of first with both teams coming to Redbird!

My son told me to take it easy as we were up 16. I told him nothing south of 30 is safe.

SIU is dum.

COACHES CANT CALL TIMEOUTS DURING PLAY

 

[Racine Bird 3813]

How big was tonight's win? The difference between third place and ninth place in the MVC.

 

[gobirds72]

Wins a win?

Unfortunately, this only gets you so far. CBI?

 

[bombay]

A terrible win-loss.

 

[Atrey22]

Can someone summarize? I had to miss second half. Did we in fact win or is espn lying again?

I was able to watch us hold on for an ugly W
...but I would not be surprised if the inaccurate ESPN had us losing

 

[gobirds85]

We need to stay out of the bu Thursday night invitational as no one can win on Sunday after starting on Thursday. The #2 seed would be nice as it could set us up for a Loyola showdown. The valley is way, way, way down so anything is possible. Sad how far this conference has slid.

COACHES CANT CALL TIMEOUTS DURING PLAY

My mistake. Did not know that rule change.

Could Copeland have called timeout?

 

[cpacmel]

Could Copeland have called timeout?

Yes. Any player on the court can call time out during a live ball.

 

[RedBirdBallisLife]

Could Copeland have called timeout?

Yes. Any player on the court can call time out during a live ball.

Are they even allowed to call timeout during a live ball without Dan's permission? Probably not lol

Your son should know better. What kind of parent are you!?

Actually a reverse sandwich. There was 20 minutes of good ISU Basketball tonight. Sandwiched between the first and last 10 which were shat

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

I thought our noncon would really be an advantage for the conference schedule and that we would dominate teams in our own house. I was wrong..

What a pathetic display of basketball by both teams. Some of the dumbest players to grace Redbird Arena. Those are Junior High mistakes - just awful. Throwing bounce passes at the feet, dribbling into traffic, taking terrible shots, and so on.

We were up 45-29 - and Keyshawn decides to throw a wild ass, alley-oop to Tinsley that was not close. Then next possession takes a wild 3 off the dribble - SIU goes to score 18 in a row. Dumb plays and Dumb decisions change momentum and throw away leads.

Last play of the game was a fitting end to a terrible game by both teams - fitting. SIU wanted to lose worse than we did.

Though I agree there were some low BBIQ plays. Your point about the oop was way off. If we're thinking about the same play, Southern Illinois went zone and it was a drawn up play that was WIDE open. Boogie got both hands on on it but it was a little over thrown. It was a great play call but poor execution.

 

[Birdswin]

We will have to disagree on the alley-oop - Keyshawn threw a line-drive, hard and high - terrible, wild throw. That was the beginning of the momentum shift.
