Observations from a 91-85 loss to Providence

P
Good effort, they fought hard. It’s simply a weak roster with too many issues. We play without a PG. Our scrappiness keeps us in games and the emergence of a go-to player who is carrying that load in Coleman has improved things.

Giving a player like DAW this usage level is never going to work and we’re not good enough in other areas to mitigate it. It’s not going to change as we have no other options. But maybe Aligbe maintains this he could be an option with Middleton and Coleman and the young centers to come back.

In addition to Joseph going 7/9 from 3, the Friars had that big go 2/2… he had hit 1 in his career prior. 🤣. Such is life.

In this case its more on Sha. What would Felton's stats look like if he played 38 minutes and took 15 shots? I'm sure he would have missed shots, turned it over and allowed points without question. On the other hand, might the offense have flowed better, and Middleton would have had more opportunities?? We'll never know. He will always play Wusu because he projects more toughness. Believe me there will be a new Wusu/KC next year.

Observations from a 91-85 loss to Providence

Overall proud of the effort today. Missed opportunity to get a road win and those won’t come easily at all this year. However, as Sha has promised, you will see his team get better as the year progresses. I bet none of us would have predicted that it would have happened with essentially zero production from Dual, Harmon, and Toumi.

Blue Tinted Glasses
  • Isaiah Coleman with 26 points in only 24 minutes of play. Very efficient shooting (10/19 fgs) The kid is really coming into his own. He just needs to realize how important his offense is for this team and avoid the foul trouble.
  • Prince Aligbe has now put together back to back solid performances. 19 points 7 rebounds and for the most part played within himself offensively.
  • Sha is trying to get the entire rotation involved, but once again in the second half he really had a 7 man rotation and was able to turn momentum with their full court press.
  • It was refreshing to see this team be able to put some points on the board. Two games in a row breaking the 80 mark. Meanwhile plenty of teams across the country today were held below 50. So it’s not just us sometimes.
  • Was nice to see Jenkins find some success again. But once again foul trouble derailed a great start. 17 first half points and zero in the second. Need to find a way to keep him engaged when he is having a solid performance.

Sour Grapes and Gripes
  • Our best lineup has been to go small with Aligbe at 6’7” trying to hold down the middle. It has some fall out. When you press aggressively you really need a rim protector as your last line of defense. That doesn’t exist on this team. It also puts you at a major disadvantage if the other team can exploit their big guy. Today a very marginal player, Oswin Erhunmwunse, imposed his will on the game in the second half finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Hitting a home run with Bediako last year hid this fatal flaw. The combination of Okorofor, Godswill, and Yalden are unfortunately not ready for extended BE minutes.
  • Of course a player averaging 11 ppg, comes off the bench goes off for 28 while shooting an unconscious 8/10 from 3. SMH.
  • I hate it. But it’s another aspect of today’s basketball. The team that gets hot from three tends to win. Providence shoots 33% from three for the season. Today, jacks up 25 attempts and knocks down 12. This was the difference in the game IMO.
  • As great as he was last game, you got the other side of the spectrum today when you play DAW 38 minutes. 3-15 fgs and 3 turnovers. On a day where almost everyone found the bottom of the bucket for both teams, Dylan couldn’t buy a bucket. This team really wouldn’t be that bad if they actually had a PG.

Battle of the Unbeatens as Pirates host Creighton, Saturday

So, The Hall cut it to two 64-62, but that was as close as they got. Creighton win 72-64.

SHU needed an A game and played a C+/ B- type game. At the end of the day Creighton is better and they took care of business. I thought Tony needed to pressure the ball in the 2nd Q when the tide turned and not wait until 3rd. Also, the top players were not taking or getting the shots enough down the stretch?? The mid tier players for SHU did not have good games.

Hard to gage The Hall moving forward . Very tough games coming. Today was not the end of the world. They may very well compete for a bid, but on this day they did not play like an NCAA team.

Key injuries are really hurting us. I wish I could get an update on them . Going to be hard to compete with the better teams in the league without a full roster. No matter how many women's games I watch it still amazes me how many lay ups are missed .
