Big East Game Thread: Pirates vs. Xavier

[Powerful Pirates]

Let’s goo!! 2-0!!🏴‍☠️

 

[MTOleBlue]

Quite a lot of Pirates blue in the crowd.

 

[PMB Pirate]

A little slow to the ball, need a little more urgency. Lets get one to go. Have had decent looks.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

0 for 9. Ugh

 

[chickenbox]

Nothing easy

 

[MTOleBlue]

Can't have 0-10 shooting...

 

[DrummerJerry]

Great defense is useless if you can shoot

 

[IronKaz1]

they reverted back to the NBA 3 point shooting contest today, the opposite of what they did vs UCONN

 

[JTSHU]

Awful shot selection

 

[Harty9]

we finally score

 

[MTOleBlue]

Ball dribbled out of bounds then Xavier player laying on baseline but refs call it off Pirates a few bounces around later... lol

 

[IronKaz1]

damn everytime we take a lead they respond

 

[chickenbox]

Everyone is going to be bruised up by halftime

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Not getting back on D

 

[CaptBob]

Guess it's "no blood, no foul" under the basket--but plenty fouls everywhere else

 

[PMB Pirate]

How many layups can you miss ?? Both teams.

Keep attacking the rim. Get Davis some looks.

 

[Gritty5837]

You have to be able to finish on the left side of the rim…with your left hand. Bediako isn’t comfortable doing so. Coleman missed for the same reason.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Doesn't help that the officials are calling everything incorrectly.

 

[HallGuy23]

Ugly

 

[IronKaz1]

im pissed

 

[mga pirate]

Why is the team running offense through the centers?

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Can't look any worse on offense but playing good D

 

[MTOleBlue]

Guess Davis is too strong to be allowed to screen now.

 

[IronKaz1]

eh this games over

 

[JTSHU]

Really bonehead deciaions by everett on both ends

 

[Gohall129]

Doesn't help that the officials are calling everything incorrectly.

Very poor officiating so far.

 

[IronKaz1]

was hoping we can capitalize on Wed but Xavier is spanking on us

 

[PMB Pirate]

Need to adjust, maybe play K Rich off ball a little ?

 

[schultz1825]

Pathetic. Back to reality.

 

[Gohall129]

The Dawes we all know has returned to earth

 

[Gohall129]

Do we want to defend Oliveri today or will we keep letting him have open shots?

 

[CaptBob]

can't make 3s, missing lay-ups & put-backs==need major turn around or we're in deep shit

 

[Ferreri22]

Sitting a guy w 2 fouls for the remainder of Half could be the most overrated things in sports. As previously noted, EHE is the worst big in the league thar will avg 10+ mins per game. I dont need stats, team is awful when he is in the game

 

[Uncle Hectors Crab Farm]

Cats getting hammered n 0 calls. SSwRJ!

 

[PMB Pirate]

Xavier doubling K Rich every time he drives. Need Dawes and Davis to give us some more in the 2nd half

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Pretty familiar script
Time to make the run

Not in this game. It’s too physical underneath to risk it in this one.

 

[MBF72]

We look like UCONN the other night; Xavier looks like Seton Hall.

Watching the game muted after Dickie Simpson made the Xavier kid who signed 100 autographs sound as if he brought about peace in Gaza.

 

[Gritty5837]

i hate to be graphic but the best word to describe this offense is - constipated

 

[Piratz]

Scored 25 in a half, shot 23%, DAW/Dawes back to 1/9. Yikes. We’ve seen this far too often this year.
