DePaul Game thread

[TomWall]

3 for 9 at the line. Are we playing hung over? Smoking weed?

 

[hbkmyr]

DePaul yells shooter Or rebound before every foul shot lol

 

[Piratz]

This is a total mess.

 

[ATM82]

3-9 FTs. Can't miss those front ends.

 

[ShoreGold]

Reynolds has had a bad game!1 The refs are letting DePaul butcher us and no calls!! We need to do something to just win the game!!

 

[NYC Pirate]

This is agony.

I agree.

 

[catholicman]

Depaul handed it over to us. We need to work on our offense. Defense was very good tonight overall.

 

[bigraym]

Looks like a win in the standing, righht?

 

[NYC Pirate]

A decent last 5 minutes of defense. Everything else was pretty bad.

 

[catholicman]

Even if we win this game it will feel like a loss.

Not for me!!! A win is a win is a win.

 

[SHUSA]

this was a hot mess and the only thing i can think is this team sucks

 

[PirateFan95]

That might be the most unconvincing 8 point win of all time but a win is a win

 

[PROF Ed]

Survive and Advance

 

[silkcitypirate]

Thank god DePaul stinks.

Minus 2 starters

 

[ATM82]

A win is a win.

 

[JTSHU]

We should be really worried because this is some of the worst offense I've seen

 

[flconticello]

Well if this is our typical swoon at least we're winning through it...

 

[catholicman]

We do not suck. Due to the fact that our perimeter shooting is poor or at least inconsistent, when opponents pack the lane, we struggle. Depaul's athleticism made their zone really effective. As a team we need to figure out how to overcome this sort of defense. In addition, our guards need to help out more with rebounding.

When a win is a loss. Our NET ranking will drop from the current 41

Maybe not

Wonder if Molson ever makes 3’s in practice.

He needs a coach to work with him on his shooting technique. (Jeremy Lin became an NBA sensation after working with a shooting coach, some moons ago.)

 

[ShoreGold]

Reynolds is tired and seemed overmatched tonight!

 

[hbkmyr]

Surprised Ike is getting so much disdain. I thought his defense was pretty good down the stretch considering they hung him out to dry on about 7 consecutive pick and rolls.

That Elvis kid is really good.

Maybe not

its happened to us already this season after a win. It is likely to happen again after that performance.

Billy Garrett has done this from the bench for years.

Ike came through defensively in a huge way down the stretch.

Lets be real though.... they weren’t missing Jordan and Pippen

 

[Pirate143]

Ok it’s over... coach will clean this up. I expect a better performance v. gTown... play poorly and win OR well and lose. I’d rather have the Ws

The wins and losses of other teams could affect our score too.

 

[flconticello]

Problem we have is that we don't work our offense to get our few decent shooters looks. Cale who shoots close to 40% and was 2-3 , only got 3 looks while Molson got 2. He shooting 18% he should NEVER be shooting a 3 again this year. His career is below 30% Let that sink in.

The loss of Liberty Freeman was significant. But not of Charlie Moore!

 

[Nbnylon]

Right but nothing has happened tonight like the X and Mizzou losses last night which bumped us up from 45 to 41 this morning without even playing

Marquette won big.

 

[HALL85]

- Ike was very good on the end one again tonight.
- Every shot Rhoden took was open. I think he ended up 5-15.
- Reynolds either forced or missed shots he normally makes. Brutal night on offense, but his D was great as usual.
- Mamu carried the team on his back tonight.

Take the win and leave the cannolis.

Who average a combine 27 points a game..lucky doesn't say it enough.

 

[doctorcb12]

Can you imagine a recruit watching this mess?

Recruits watch DePaul get blasted in the Big East every year, yet somehow they have better recruiting classes and players in the NBA

Marquette won big.

Marquette won big.

Marquette’s win over Butler will have no bearing on our NET as both those teams in the 100s.

The question is whether any teams near us especially a few ticks lower won in a nice fashion. If no, we should be good.
Point is we can’t continue to play this way as it will catch up with us sooner than later.

Marquette's offensive and efficiency were high in that win.
