Starting 5 should be

Jenkins
Wusu
Coleman
Toume
Godswill

After that i have no idea but let them play and stop w the mass subs

Wusu is your primary ball handler?

These two losses are going to be very difficult to recover from. At least in prior years we looked bad in the OOC games but we won the games we were supposed to win. They all matter now and Sha doesn't seem to understand that or is unwilling to change.

Of the starters Jenkins played the 4th least minutes (with 1 foul).

I can’t tell what the logic is on the rotations through 3 games. It looks like he’s just throwing combinations out there. He’s hellbent on this notion of 10 players playing 20 minutes or whatever.

The guards/wings – where we thought we had the most talent – is the real epic mess because we have no idea what we’re doing with the ball. That’s coaching. I understand it’s new players, but it’s basketball. They shouldn’t look this bad. Not giving Dual and Harmon a ton of minutes and opting for Addae-Wusu there seems insane to me. DAW is not good enough to play PG against A10 or CAA teams even, c’mon. Is probably part of the “indoctrination” of playing for Sha for them and he’ll sit in this until they comply to whatever he’s asking for. Hofstra’s guards were beating us late and those two combined for 15 minutes?l Pathetic.

He paired Toumi with Yalden at times.

The 4-5 spots should be the easy part. Erheriene has been a positive. He’s raw but has ability. Keep playing him. Yalden can spell him. Aligbe is sort of all over the floor in the Dre Davis role. I think he’s a better defender than Dre, but nowhere near the offensive touch and it’s brutal to watch. At least he and Toumi should be able to give us a platoon at the 4.

I know I could easily look this up, but I just want to join the discussion. When was the last time we scored 48 points or less? I am guessing a Saint John’s game from the 1930’s.

Probably the infamous USF game in the 2013 big east tournament when they scored 46...in overtime.

Lost at depaul right before the new year in 2002 and scored 41

60 percent of the voters are not college educated...they dont have credentials to get better paying jobs and they eat the cheapest most highly processed food options

Sha is not valuing the IOCC games enough, You have to play these games with some sense of urgency You can get blown out by a Baylor before losing to Fordham at home. Once you lose to Fordham you have to approach Hofstra as a Must win. Should SHU ever get near 20-22 wins by March these two losses will stand out. It does not seem like that has a chance to be the case. Can we win the BE Tournament? Doubtful. So, after 3 games, i guess we have to play all out to get to the NIT. How bad were these losses for the Business end? We will still support the program, but wow..

We score 57, 56, and 48 against St. Peter’s, Fordham, and Hofstra and lose 2.

Wow. Awful. Not sure I’ve seen a team this clueless here. The amount of empty possessions is stunning.

Another excellent point by Jerry.

I think Sha deserves our patience here. The first 3 games have been awful....virtually unwatchable. Anyway, this message board had similar comments after we lost to Rutgers last year. While i don't expect any turnaround like last year, i am confident the team will get better. With that said, i think Sha will need to figure out a better way to dole out NIL money. Do you spend big on a few alphas, and then use the rest of the money on other players? He wants to play 10 guys, but we don't have enough NIL to get real difference makers. We can only hope the NIL situation gets better, but I am afraid it will be the death of us.

He deserves patience, but you can’t stack losses against bad teams. All the games matter. Even if Holloway manages to get the season turned around, we already have one and maybe two big black marks on the resume.

Will the attendance at Walsh be similar Saturday?

DePaul didn’t play any defense. This team can defend. The offense, on the other hand, is as bad as any high major team I’ve ever watched.

Even more maddening when I think back to all the preseason interviews and how defense was the buzz word. Makes me wonder how much time Sha actually spends coaching offense, if any. Clearly he needs to find a balance because this is not an acceptable way of playing basketball.

I think we have missed over 20 layups in first 3 games.So far we are a poor shooting high school team bordering on poor shooting CYO team.Hard to believe Divusion 1 players can’t make layups.We need better shooting coach badly.

I’m not trying to be funny but I can’t think of a single missed layup. Everything is contested. I’d rather see us hoist from deep and pray it goes in.

Seems that way. Doesn't have the votes in the senate and his ethics probe was to be released Friday and now that he resigned from congress, it won't be released.

He resigned from this congress but was just reelected
