Butler game thread

[HallBoy32]

We need Powell even a little bit if we want a chance

 

[Section112]

And it’s clear teams are fouling Ish and Nzei on purpose because they are so bad from the line.

 

[IronKaz1]

my highschool teams shoots foul shots better unfriggin real

 

[bigraym]

0-4 from line

 

[HallBoy32]

Powell looks fine give him minutes pleeease

 

[Shuathelete]

announcer is wrong. the ball never moves in any scenario. it just goes well when they hit their 1 on 1 shots.

 

[jmt6762]

Nzei and ish need to finish better. Them goin to the foul line is painful to watch.

 

[HallBoy32]

Desi has never seen a shot he hasn’t liked

 

[IronKaz1]

cant make a FT and 0-6 or 7 from 3 now

 

[HallBoy32]

Carrington and Powell need to get hot

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

Ok, we need to play a real PG, aka Walker, and he has to feed our two healthy and available scorers in Angel & Desi....they are trying to do it all themselves....

PLUS PLAY SOME DEFENSE!

Walker was in twice. I’m not sure we had many good looks or even scored with him in there either time. Young guy still learning.

 

[bigraym]

0-5 from 3, someone need to hit some 3's, Cale?

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

yes but they have some guys who i never heard of just waxing us

Do you honestly think those guys will wax us over the course of 40 minutes?

 

[NYShoreGuy]

0-5 from 3, someone need to hit some 3's, Cale?

Delgado and desi only scorers so far

 

[HallBoy32]

Delgado starting to get in a rhythm. They’ll start doubling. Will open up shots. Everyone be patient.

 

[Section112]

Angel playing well

 

[Shuathelete]

delgado cant even begin to think about defending a pick and roll this year

0-5 from 3, someone need to hit some 3's, Cale?

this is the biggest difference - we've had some good three-point shooting games of late - with our personnel issues, we need to hit some outside shots in this game more than usual, and we've gone 0 for - unfortunate

Props to Angel for carrying us thus far

 

[Jerry1992]

Amazing. We are only down 3. Butler letting us hang around. Let's do this.

 

[HallBoy32]

Ish has been disappointing this year, sorry

 

[IronKaz1]

he has half our points would somebody else please help Angel

 

[bigraym]

but unsurprising we're out of sorts, and surprised we're only down this much given some unfortunate bounces

A 2nd half comeback is not out of question!

 

[Shuathelete]

Powell makes this team SO much better. he moves the offense. hes our best PG. the fact this is staying close is good

 

[HallBoy32]

DELGADO IS A CHEAT CODE

 

[HallBoy32]

Desi stop chucking omg

 

[NYShoreGuy]

A 2nd half comeback is not out of question!

Butler shoots a lot of 3s

 

[setonball46]

Those are shots he makes

 

[Shuathelete]

im assuming our 3pt % is much better at home vs the road

 

[HallBoy32]

Nzei has literally been a traffic cone todah

 

[Shuathelete]

getting waxed on the boards too. FTs, rebounds, good looks.... none of the things you need to win on the road we are doing.

 

[bigraym]

Finally a 3

 

[HallBoy32]

We’re starting to find a rhythm there is hope

 

[Shuathelete]

DESI. keeping it close bodes well for us.

 

[IronKaz1]

we do something good than give BADley 3 shots

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Come on nzei

 

[IronKaz1]

bench outscoring is horrendous right now, Cale just dribbles around and passes, so far hes shown me hes on hell of a dunker

 

[Section112]

Nzei killing us so far. Fouling a 3 pt shooter, giving up that open lane, not boxing out. Gotta pick it up Mike.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Come on nzei

The big guys cant defend the perimeter

 

[NYC Pirate]

SHU down 33-31 with Butler going to line for three free throws.

Good, bad and ugly at times first half. We have enough talent to stay right in game.

SHU bench has been awful so far. Walker did do a. Dry good job of ball handling on one trip down the court.

 

[chickenbox]

very pleased desi didn't go for tomahawk jam like usual - still flexed but actually put it down - hope it's sign he's figured that out

pleasantly surprised with how close we've kept it given everything we've got going against us today
