DePaul Game thread

Just terrible, terrible basketball by all involved.

Thankfully there is nothing less meaningful than the halftime score.

Should be Seton Hall big in the second half.

Wow are you optimistic

 

[Piratz]

We’d be down 15 to anyone else. Could still get there if we don’t wake up.

 

[TomWall]

Getting out muscled in the paint and too many 3’s on offense.

Not boxing out is unacceptable. Sad.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

This is it and has been a theme for the last six years. We think we can show up and beat people. We're good, but we're not good enough to do that. The team and the staff don't seem to realize that.

Yet the head man in charge gets such a pass from so many that populate this platform

 

[Robot_Man]

Who the hell wants sandro sitting? What talent can u sub him for? Hes got half of our pts

That's true, but yet he didn't seem like himself, for whatever reason. Bricking the free throws and being a step slower on defense than usual. I dunno. Maybe it's because he's wearing the undershirt 😆

 

[IronKaz1]

I mean I was an athlete, and when our team has more talent than the other we win even after a first flurry punch in the mouth by them ( i was a football wrestling guy) but if that team who was way below us scored or pinned first we WOKE UP and said oh hell no and took care of business

This is how you lose by 40 to a Creighton... unfortunately we’ve played this way far too many times this season. It just so happens it’s been somewhat hidden against poor opponents.

 

[flconticello]

They need to find more shots for Cale. He's one of our best shooters % wise. He's taken 2 3's and is 1-2. If Molson never takes another 3 it would be too soon

 

[Flnj86]

It looks like someone is betting on DePaul and taking the points. That is how bad they are playing.

 

[silkcitypirate]

Out rebounded 23 to 14 embarrassing

 

[JTSHU]

Lose tonight against a depaul team w their 2 best scorers out and forfeit the rest of the season so we stoo embarrassing us. Better come out pissed off

We run no set offensive plays for anybody

 

[Hall91]

DePaul extended zone is troubling us, but too many missed shots.

well to our credit we seem to play harder vs those teams

 

[JTSHU]

Ike just hit the bottom of the rim. Hows it possible at 7 ft

 

[IronKaz1]

we just cant seem to tak ethe lead

 

[IronKaz1]

obiagu is getting stuffed like hes 5'6

 

[Robot_Man]

DePaul is down their two best players, so we're just leaving their third best player open on defense every time.

 

[TomWall]

Ike getting whacked over and over .... no call.

 

[SHUSA]

ike is the weakest humongous specimen ive ever seen. he never just goes up with it

 

[IronKaz1]

I still dont get Ike, he is ENORMOUS not just in height but muscle, why is he getting blocked like that, POWER IKE POWER

 

[silkcitypirate]

Now we are seeing the good mamu. KEEP giving him the ball

 

[NYC Pirate]

Leading but have to pick it up on defense. Ike is struggling on both ends so far. Had to get back low on defense.

 

[HallGuy23]

guys, Ike is an absolute prototypical unskilled big man. As soon as the balls winds up in his hands he panics and rushes and as a result loses his footwork and leverage. He simply doesn’t know what to do.

Doesn’t matter how tall you are if you hold the ball low

 

[IronKaz1]

Doesn’t matter how tall you are if you hold the ball low

I get that but hes no rookie, whats redhead Grant showing him? His arms and strength are ABOVE most

 

[TomWall]

We go for the pump fake or send any team I have ever seen

4th yr hi major college player

 

[JTSHU]

Ike is the softest 7 fter ive ever seen.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Pathetic Ike got that rebound taken from him. Just weak.

 

[JTSHU]

Ike is huge and gets stuffed. Hits the bottom of the rim. Gets the ball wide ooen and brings the ball down

 

[IronKaz1]

the bottom dwellars are giving us the business

 

[Therealdewski]

Obiagu plays like he has no thumbs

 

[IronKaz1]

Grant's supposed to be on top of that

 

[catholicman]

This is excruciating. We need to pull away. But we keep blowing opportunities. We are not getting a fair whistle under the rim.

 

[IronKaz1]

stop this 3 pt sh-t already

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

If we were going to assert ourselves in the second half it would have happened by now. We are literally in a dog fight for our lives on our home court with the worst team in the conference- minus two of their best players. That's reality.

 

[catholicman]

stop this 3 pt sh-t already

We got hot from 3 for a strech there.

 

[Robot_Man]

Weems should be blanketed but it seems like he's constantly open.

 

[JCB11]

HOT trash at the moment
