Butler game thread

[NYShoreGuy]

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

Shu bench just isnt ready

 

[Burnsly]

Really bad half by Nzei.

 

[Section112]

We can play so much better. But we are hanging in there.

 

[bigraym]

Our freshman, we are all so high on, have shown us nothing so far this season, particularly in Big east play!

 

[Shuathelete]

really good to see cale hit a 3!

 

[Jerry1992]

Cale, carringtin and Powell look decent to me. I am no doctor though. get the win boys.

 

[chickenbox]

Imagine if we weren't a terrible free throw shooting team - we'd legit have a few more wins by the end of the season

 

[Shuathelete]

this game has not gone well and we are tied. just keep it close. till half

 

[bigraym]

Desi force that for the lead, damn!

 

[Shuathelete]

BS offensive foul.

 

[IronKaz1]

good street ball there desi 5 point swing coming

 

[bigraym]

Defense is pitiful!

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Desi force that for the lead, damn!

Desi has become a gunner

 

[Smooth]

Kelan Martin getting the superstar call. That was a walk and then bailed out with a foul.

 

[LBP43]

Do we need Hero Ball--- just feed the Big Boy

 

[bigraym]

We are still in this game... down by 4 at half. Go Hall!

 

[PirateFan95]

Have a decent shot at pulling this off. Looked horrendous for a majority of the time...only down 4

 

[IronKaz1]

NOBODY else has scored but our big man, Butler 11/11 from the line

 

[Piratz]

Not sharp and only down 4 at half.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Always have a bad closeout to first half

 

[SHULaw05]

2nd half team. Time to turn it on. Go Hall

 

[IronKaz1]

our backcourt has done nothing

 

[Pirata]

Trade the foul shooting and we're up by 4.

 

[Section112]

Could have been a lot worse. Gotta get some scoring from Powell. And have to tighten up theD and hit some foul shots. Not gonna get a good whistle at Hinkle so our guys are gonna have to tough it out.

 

[Pirates13]

We forgot about Angel the last few minutes. It should be mandatory we get it to him in the post on every possession.

 

[IronKaz1]

and just think Martin has not done anything, that coach of ours better think he gets paid for this

 

[IronKaz1]

the whistles have been even, they shot 11 we shot 11

 

[stipe65]

Always have a bad closeout to first half

Could Willard just one time run a play instead of letting the clock run down at the half and end up forcing some bad one on 5 forced shot? Drive me nuts and we never score

 

[barrett12]

Getting out rebounded by 5, hope that gets flipped in the second half. Powell contributing a lot with ball movement, but hope he can get on the scoreboard as well.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Could be worse, down 4 at the half. We mishandled that last minute of half.

Butler perfect from the line. Hall off from three, but Carrington and Cale hit a couple in last part of half.

Let’s see what happens

 

[PirateEmotion]

Hate to tell everyone but this team isn’t running the Princeton offense / the middle school flex. It’s going to be dribble penetration, inside out with Delgado, and some pick and rolls.

When the quick 3’s are falling everyone Loves it. A few misses and it’s gunner / hero ball.

Decent first half even with a half strength Powell. Everyone relax.

 

[anon_4htvdezyfe7k9]

This team's cumulative basketball IQ is embarrassingly low, Powell's and Deglado's not withstanding.

 

[LBP43]

ESPN has Foul shots as SHU 6/11 and Butler 12/12 --Rebounds SHU 13 Butler 21-- got to work harder

 

[Section112]

Our end of half, end of game possessions with the shot clock running down are really bad. Again Khadeen loses the ball driving down the lane. And it seemed to me that he waited too long to run the offense there. He starts a few seconds earlier and we have 3 secs for the inbound vs 1 second.

 

[HALL28]

Powell is not himself, which is the difference to me so far. FTs too, but Nzei and Sanogo missed 4 so what do we expect. Played a good defensive half, IMO.

Overall we are in fine position in a tough road game.

 

[setonball46]

Iron- Its all gonna be ok.

 

[HALL28]

Our end of half, end of game possessions with the shot clock running down are really bad. Again Khadeen loses the ball driving down the lane. And it seemed to me that he waited too long to run the offense there. He starts a few seconds earlier and we have 3 secs for the inbound vs 1 second.

Every damn time. Carrington holds ball and we rush to get a shot.

 

[shufan1993]

Does the free throw shooting psychologist travel with the team?

 

[Shuathelete]

we start halves very poorly. cant give this team a 10 pt lead right off the bat

 

[SHUmash90]

We are in the game. Everyone needs to relax. How negative can we get. Angel had strong half. We need to get Powell and Deeno hitting shots. We know they have it in them. Let’s stay positive.
