Game Thread: Pirates vs. Creighton

[hallwins]

Especially if they aren’t going to call fouls on him.

He is over the tip in most every miss. Never gets a foul called against him

 

[catholicman]

Kalkbrenner is a tall SKINNY BONEY person hes good very good but can easily be out muscled if we plan properly

But our bigs each have 2 fouls. I wonder if our Turkish center gets some minutes. He might match up well with Kalk.

 

[MTOleBlue]

McDermott has coached Kalkbrenner well on going straight up with the arms and I’m assuming reminds the referees he’s entitled to that ground.

You can’t fade away from guys like that, you have go right at their chest. He leaves his feet every time, he’s not taking a charge.

We haven’t been soft but we need a little more ferociousness going at him

The most annoying part of that is Kalkbrenner has been reaching down and NOT VERTICAL on multiple shot attempts with contact and no call.

 

[Gritty5837]

So Creighton is playing a relatively strong offensive game, Dawes and Wusu have not scored and we are right in the game. Cover the wings and stop going for their ball fakes.

Its a win for SHU only being down 4 but Creighton has felt in control / dictating style of play.

This is gonna be a difficult one to pull off, we can absolutely do it but we’ll need to take it from them.

what did UCONN do to beat em? aside from talent what was the plan

Skinny upper body but strong lower body. TV commentators said he put on over 60 pounds since this freshman year.

 

[Gritty5837]

@MTOleBlue I hate to make assumptions but I don’t see how the whistle doesn’t even out in the second half with us being home. That’s why we need to keep attacking the rim.

 

[shu09]

It showed that he clearly hit his wrist. Not sure why you're trolling

I've watched it three times, even paused the frame right at the time of the block. His hand went right to the ball and he blocked it.

 

[shu09]

Not sure what @shu09 is seeing. I don’t think he hit any ball at all. It was clearly all wrist.

Is there a way to post pictures on here? I have a screenshot where it clearly proves it was all ball. It's almost like game threads are pre-programmed to make it seem like officiating is out to get Seton Hall, which is not the case.

 

[Robot_Man]

No he didn’t

I've watched it three times, even paused the frame right at the time of the block. His hand went right to the ball and he blocked it.

He fouled him. Not sure what you're watching.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Great way to start the second half.

 

[williaza01]

Creighton looks slow and seems to push off a lot..but they are pretty skilled

 

[MTOleBlue]

He fouled him. Not sure what you're watching.

Yeah that’s quite clearly a wrist he’s coming across lol

 

[shu09]

Please stop with this fanboy nonsense. Creighton is #1 in America in not committing fouls for a reason. They are GOOD at not fouling and well-coached in that regard.

 

[ShoreGold]

He’s not a great anything

incredibly overrated

But I get your point

He is good! Estwhen they don’t call him for fouls!!!

 

[shu09]

He fouled him. Not sure what you're watching.

Thanks, that's the screenshot I was going to post. Kalkbrenner's fingers right on the ball.

 

[NYC Pirate]

The defense has come out very intense in second half.

 

[TomWall]

McDermott a terrific coach for sure. Good start for us.

 

[TomWall]

He is good! Estwhen they don’t call him for fouls!!!

I'm more concerned about 3 second violations as he parks himself inside.

 

[shu09]

Dawes 5 quick points and a 5 point SH lead. Not a coincidence. Need to keep everyone involved. Move the ball, as Shaheen said in the first half timeout.

 

[Gritty5837]

If they’re gonna swallow their whistle the whole half it benefits us greatly. We’re the tougher team

 

[shu09]

Richmond clearly not as explosive today. That's a shot he usually makes.

 

[TomWall]

Up 5 AND we have missed some chippys.

 

[shu09]

Keep expanding the lead.....

 

[Gritty5837]

Richmond clearly not as explosive today. That's a shot he usually makes.

Looks like the back is bothering him

 

[Gohall129]

Richmond clearly not as explosive today. That's a shot he usually makes.

he’s clearly not moving as fluently as usual. Looks to have a limp right now

 

[shu09]

We have turned up the defense big time. This is a great game. Two good teams.

 

[shu09]

GREAT D by Bediako there.

 

[Gritty5837]

NO easy 3’s!!!!

 

[shu09]

C'mon guys, stop falling asleep on their threes!

 

[shu09]

Sha waiting too long to call a timeout. We've stopped moving the ball offensively and falling asleep on the 3 ball defensively.

 

[Gohall129]

Take a time out sha. Come on. Blow an 8 point lead Kadary isn’t even moving and we hand the game back to them

 

[Gritty5837]

If Kadary is too hurt to play defense he needs to sit. Right now he’s not bothering to close out and its led to 9 points

 

[IronKaz1]

they hit their last 4 3's now and will take the lead on this next spot.....

 

[JTSHU]

Kadary has gotta stick to the wing. Stop watching. Dont bite on thwir pumps

 

[catholicman]

If Kadary is too hurt to play defense he needs to sit. Right now he’s not bothering to close out and its led to 9 points

When he's healthy he had that tendency

 

[IronKaz1]

we f'd this up , up by 9 and let them have a larry bird 3 point shooting contest

 

[catholicman]

they hit their last 4 3's now and will take the lead on this next spot.....

We were cruising to victory. Our lackadaisical 3 pt defense strikes again.

 

[Gritty5837]

They went up 9 and forgot they built the lead by closing off the perimeter. You can’t fall asleep against a team that shoots like Creighton.

 

[TomWall]

Had them on the ropes and let them right back in.
