SHU vs Stanford Game Thread

[shupat08]

The loss of IW and DG might be looming larger than expected in terms of intangibles/leadership/intensity.

Also, perimeter defense sorely lacking. Opposing guards penetrate far too easily and get way too many open jump shots. Puts a lot of pressure defensively on the front court when there's no one stopping the ball.

We're lucky Stanford can't buy a three ball, or we'd be down 5-6 points easy.

I thought this was supposed to be "the team after whitehead"? Like "the team after Bryant".

That's Atleast what everyone on here and Hall line have been saying.

Still early in the season....

 

[Hall91]

Not looking good.

 

[catholicman]

We dont know how to box out.

 

[shu2x79]

They know just don't want to give the effort

 

[Piratz]

Delgado and Desi look checked out.

 

[ATM82]

This looks like the same team that pulled a no show at Gergia two years ago.

Absolutely pathetic performance.

Hard to see a come back coming, they just don't look like they want it. Hard to watch.

 

[Bluebeard]

24-14 turns into 42-31 after a 27-7 run.

We have scored 9 points in the last 15:13 seconds

Why does Delgado wait until three defenders are on him to pass? And I'll never understand why our rebounders don't work harder to box out - Stanford just gets in front of our guys and gets the put backs. Jerry walker was undersized, but was a master at the box out.

 

[Hall91]

Failing the mental toughness test. Playing like underclass men instead of upperclassmen.

 

[Shuathelete]

Umm, 12 minutes left. A little extreme.

i mean L as in their performance and demeanor wont be erased it they pull out a win.

The hype machine runs strong after a season like last one. How about some of the praise on here after we beat QU Friday night? Hilarious.

Stop with being gassed excuse

 

[Pirate143]

It is going to be a long year. Jones is not a 25-30 mpg player, Powell plays very little D and we have no PF. This is a poor Stanford team and they are just playing harder with more fundamentals. Need one of the Juniors to step in and lead.

 

[JTSHU]

Hope we spend the week learning to box out. This is who we are this year. I don't see a drastic improvement

 

[lloyde dobler]

Even going back to last year, this group has had trouble battling back from adversity. There were few exceptions, but in games where they've fallen behind, Delgado and Desi are not the rallying types. Carrington kind of, but one guy can't rally an entire team from an awful performance.

 

[Fishjam]

Come on, down 11 ...lets make a run!

 

[catholicman]

Terrible officiating. Someone needs to tell these refs about the new rules.

 

[Hall91]

Some real tough offensive foul calls against us.

 

[Hall91]

Powell totally off

 

[Shuathelete]

we are more athletic. where are the off ball screens to open guys up? just move off ball, try harder.

 

[jmt6762]

This team is not mentally tough as soon as one call doesn't go they're way they cry and complain and just stop trying pathetic

 

[Fishjam]

All of Khadeen;s shots are short and Desi cannot do anything without fumbling the ball.

 

[catholicman]

Make up call?

 

[Hall91]

Wish Jones was a more confident scorer

 

[Fishjam]

This reminds me of the Gonzaga game in the tourney last year when the altitude and the BET hangover had us totally gassed and out of sync.

 

[Shuathelete]

i want to swallow glass

 

[Hall91]

We looked good the first 12 or so minutes of the game. Team lost any and all rhythm once Willard started with a mass sub.

 

[Shuathelete]

Myles Powell baby. Who said he cant play d?

 

[Hall91]

Let's go. Khadeen take over.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

This team is not mentally tough as soon as one call doesn't go they're way they cry and complain and just stop trying pathetic

Turnovers and rebounding need to be cleaned up

 

[Shuathelete]

I know he made the bucket, but carrington does not use the pick too many times and it causes a cluster F alot.

 

[Fishjam]

Just can't buy a 3....0 for 12!!!!

 

[catholicman]

Really bad officiating but its going our way now. Lol

 

[Bobbie Solo]

We're not beating anybody, I don't care how garbage they are, when we commit 20 TO's & don't hit any threes.

 

[Hall91]

Need to go for high percentage shots now. Powell is off tonight, work it inside.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Now or never

 

[Pirate143]

I did. Stanford would be the bottom 2 or 3 in BE.

 

[Hall91]

Desi has been brutal offensively tonight.

 

[Hall91]

Shitty defense

 

[Shuathelete]

Desi what are you doing
