Game Thread - Our Pirates Take on the Friars

[JTSHU]

where's the damn point guard to control this offense???

 

[anon_ezos2e9wn1ob0]

Refs have been horrendous all year!

Hiw is this the refs fault

 

[bigraym]

17 turnovers with 10:50 to go...

 

[Jerry1992]

17 turnovers. On pace for around 25.

 

[HALL85]

Providence is playing great defense. Keep collapsing on our guys try to drive. And they are all over Powelll. He hast to recognize that sooner and find the open man.

 

[hallmatt]

They outplayed us.

They out coached us.

Pretty simple.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Hall down 47-40 under 12 minutes.

Worst segment outside of Nebraska last 10 minutes of season.

What’s with all this dribbling????

 

[anon_ezos2e9wn1ob0]

Powell has been so bad tonight, forcing awful shots and madd a few boneheaded plays in 1h as well

 

[The Crows Nest]

The wins have hidden the poor play which has become the norm.

Our annual January swoon. This team really struggles to score.

Powell just doesn’t look right tonight

 

[lloyde dobler]

And people complain about the low efficiency rankings....

 

[bigraym]

I don't know, but I would get Brodie back in this game!

 

[catholicman]

Hiw is this the refs fault

We are getting clobbered and no calls . So lobsided. How can you even dribble when there is so much contact and no calls?

 

[IronKaz1]

losing to Depaul who was in last place and now this team in last place no good. we overachieved a bit, the NIT is calling. NCAA teams dont drop the bottom big east games 12-6 3-3 is NIT anyways, we had a fun lil run next year

 

[ATM82]

Playing with absolutely no fire.

 

[bigraym]

3 down at 9:20

 

[Jerry1992]

Iron. Keep faith. We have comeback many times. Not over yet.

 

[TheBluePirate]

This is a game where we have to find a way to win despite the horrible play and the desperation of Providence.

 

[bigraym]

We put 9 up quickly tied at 49 with 9 min to go

 

[JIMSOULS]

Powell not trusting his teammates. This reverts back to the early season talk about not having a second reliable scorer. When you don't have the second guy, the first one gets away from what makes him effective.

 

[bigraym]

Where's Brodie?

 

[SHU_Pirate1]

where's the damn point guard to control this offense???

He's the guy that just hit the 3 pointer from the top of the key...posted up his man on the next possession and got fouled on the play to tie the game

 

[TheBluePirate]

Powell not trusting his teammates. This reverts back to the early season talk about not having a second reliable scorer. When you don't have the second guy, the first one gets away from what makes him effective.

Yeah. This is a good point. Until we have reliable second and third scorers we are not going to drill the opposition.

 

[bigraym]

TT gotta stop throwing 3s

 

[Jerry1992]

Desperately need Cale to be the step up for this team.

 

[JTSHU]

and Q with 4 turnovers so take all of that away

 

[NYC Pirate]

Hall down. 54-49 after coming back to tie at 49.

18 turnovers season high already.

Piowell will probably score 15 points down the stretch, but his worst game in a couple of years so far.

 

[SHU_Pirate1]

Myles is having a tough game. Keeping the faith...keep pushing we can do this!

 

[IronKaz1]

Iron. Keep faith. We have comeback many times. Not over yet.

IRON is NIT bound Jerry haha

 

[bigraym]

We're shooting higher % and out rebounding them [both marginally] but turnovers are killing us!

 

[anon_ezos2e9wn1ob0]

This is going to be a bad loss if we do not find a way. Cannot be dropping games to bottom of the league

 

[IronKaz1]

have we led any game comfy besides the Q4 teams?

 

[Ferreri22]

Powell has been terrible overall this game. Boxscore says 4 turnovers, but he’s responsible closer to double digits. And he’s playing absolutely zero defense nor boxing out.

 

[JTSHU]

My god 17 turnovers

 

[Jerry1992]

Not yet. Comeback kids or let’s hope. Time is running out. Need to get going right now.

 

[Pirate143]

Q is too juiced up. Has to get chip off should b/c he was not recruited by a big east school. He has to settle down and stop trying to prove he belongs.

 

[anon_ezos2e9wn1ob0]

Powell has been terrible overall this game. Boxscore says 4 turnovers, but he’s responsible closer to double digits. And he’s playing absolutely zero defense nor boxing out.

Yes defense is absent. I think he is exhausted.

 

[bigraym]

Powell has been terrible overall this game. Boxscore says 4 turnovers, but he’s responsible closer to double digits. And he’s playing absolutely zero defense nor boxing out.

Well add in a number of wildass driving layup attempts where he at least put it on glass, thus not a turnover

 

[JIMSOULS]

Yeah. This is a good point. Until we have reliable second and third scorers we are not going to drill the opposition.

They're starting to watch him a little. Bad sign. I like Thompson's talent but he makes himself ineffective by hanging on the perimeter and just launching.

 

[JTSHU]

Staff has to know at this point in the season they are gonna double and face up Myles. There has to be a backup plan for this

 

[JTSHU]

Yea those wild shots in the lane haven' helped
