[radecicco]

I’ll be watching on Grand Cayman. Not bad but wish I was at MSG.

 

[Seton75]

Pirates have not made a good play yet!

 

[HallX2]

Very slow tempo.

I'll be at msg. But being in grand Cayman would not piss me off.

 

[sami]

What is Shavar doing??? Oh, probably game prep.

 

[P615007]

Let’s go pirates!

 

[MTOleBlue]

No snow yet... trains on time... let’s do this!

[Halldan1]

For those that watch on TV.

2000 reasons to tune in

 

[MTOleBlue]

We may have a majority of fans today. Much more blue than red in folks coming in to the arena, at least so far. Hope that continues and we take over the Garden!

 

[PosterFormallyKnownAsShuathelete]

Im heading over now. Seems like these games are hectic every year. Time do finally do what we should do and bottle this team up!

 

[MTOleBlue]

I’d love if we could just take them to the woodshed for once at the Garden. Gotta come out strong and get the crowd into the game for the Pirates

 

[SHU_Pirate1]

Let’s go pirates!

Pirates have not made a good play yet!

Brody, TT, and Avent tied for leading scorers and rebounders so far, so not surprising.

 

[deheremike]

You have to get to the arena very early to see TT get some time on the court.

Shavar has been flawless so far!

 

[PosterFormallyKnownAsShuathelete]

Well the arena lines to get in are ... smaller than i expected.

Theres a tall kid from the patrick school going up escalators looks like a recruit

 

[PiratePride]

11:30 pre game show on now....... Mamu back for PC they strongly hinted

They haven’t been drawing well this year, not helpful that they’re pretty mediocre

Their student sections are about 15-20% full...

Its an early start, but this place is empty.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Crowd appears to be close to 50-50

 

[lr591902]

Very small crowd. No students.

 

[IronKaz1]

well we let em go up real quick

 

[IronKaz1]

0- all HERON dropping 40 like i predicted

 

[IronKaz1]

how many shots they gonna block on us? HORRIBLE start

 

[NYC Pirate]

Hall down 8-4 under 16 minutes.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

There are just certain things with gill that have to be lived with in both ends it wont change and it is what it is

 

[deheremike]

Love seeing Ike come in with Tony.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Ike has no expectation to ever think the ball may come to him

 

[deheremike]

Mike Anderson is going to make St Johns pretty good once he gets some players.

They play defense.

 

[JTSHU]

Those moving screens are killer.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 14-9 under 12 minutes. Q and Nelson off to slow starts at PG. We are not playing well and too much dribbling.

 

[Jerry1992]

Team not playing well. Fortunately only down 5. Turnovers a problem. Protect ball and we should be fine.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Fairly sloppy first 8 plus min, bad passes, watching on defense, again until intensity and engagement is on another level they are an ok to good bunch not great...stj you know they gonna press and presure and make it a grinder of a game

 

[chickenbox]

We broke the press and converted once beautifully. Very much the exception to the rule thus far.

 

[doctorcb12]

We are not hitting the bigs well after the pick and roll.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Sloppy play so far! Gonna need to hold onto the ball and find good shots which isn’t happening yet

 

[Pirata]

On these dribble drives I wish we would kick it out once in awhile. Too many end up in four shots that go nowhere.

 

[IronKaz1]

our offense SUCKS today, no rythem

 

[Section112]

Have to stop playing their tempo and take care of the ball.

 

[PosterFormallyKnownAsShuathelete]

3 tos on nels. Powell has a real issue with forcing unneeded shots
