Black Friday Game Thread: Pirates vs. Iowa

[catholicman]

What's wrong with Shaheen. Sanders got in and scored a basket, then promptly found a seat on the pine again. Khadary is struggling and playing with extremely low basketball IQ. He needs a seat on the bench for a while.

Our 2nd unit played better defense too!

damn this game sucks, i ordered a nice popeyes chicken meal to relax watch, blah hahaha oh well when you stink so bad you kind of dont get as pissed

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Holloway recruit these farm boys they prob dont ask for much NIL maybe a tractor for dad

Heard there is a recruit from Indiana Ricky Roe, 6'8" face up 4, great shooter

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

More of the same…..again.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

A gunner? He was 0-10 in the first half yesterday. Maybe he needs to go the the range more.

A gunner is a player not afraid to take a shot from anywhere on the court at any point in the game

 

[Pirate143]

When do we start questioning the staff?

 

[CaptBob]

Richmond 2 fouls ZERO pts

 

[catholicman]

We are so predictable offensively.

 

[Doncheech313]

Dawes needs to be benched

 

[Pirate143]

From the poor NIL and now traveling 6000 miles (round trip) when do we start questioning the leadership … this is not good

 

[SOpirate]

I try not to rag on our athletes considering they are college students but Kadary & Dawes are not being paid to play like this. Unacceptable.

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

When do we start questioning the staff?

Year 4 or 5. You give them a real chance. You back them and give them the support they need to succeed and if they still can’t or don’t show signs of improving things. Freaking out 6 games into year 2 is silly.

 

[JTSHU]

Done....the season

 

[catholicman]

When do we start questioning the staff?

Now. Sha has not done well thus far. The team apparently did not have a productive summer and fall.

 

[catholicman]

Done....the season

Not yet. But this team has to change it's approach in so many ways. Sha needs to focus on the offense. Defense needs help too.

 

[IronKaz1]

we do always look amazing in practice though haha, undefeated!

 

[IronKaz1]

sheesh started the game 6 of 34?

 

[HallX2]

This team will have a lot to do to prove Sha’s confidence was well founded.

 

[TomWall]

Should never take a 3. Kinda like Femi.

Then again, what do I know!

 

[Pirate143]

Let’s be realistic… we had kids transfer to sit on the bench at other schools .. the recruiting is not where it should be, fund raising is poor and we had 4k show up for a home game … I like Sha and believe he is the right coach … but he needs admin support and money that comes from fund raising…. Until he gets both, it will be tough sledding

 

[catholicman]

Great finish to the half. Amazing that we're only down 11.

 

[jack 1970]

Brick City Baby!Defense not much better!

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

10 more shots than Iowa in first half yet down 11
Hard to fathom

We are who we are. Averett and tubek wont turn this around

Willards last recruiting class was a joke

 

[Piratz]

Amazing we’re only down 11. Will it get worse or do we wake up?

Richmond/Dawes 1-for first half again. Unreal.

Well if we follow the script Iowa comes out on an 8-0 run going up 19 then we wake up cutting lead to 2 in last 3 minutes????

I know what a gunner is. Most gunners don’t shoot 15% or less. If they do they don’t start.

 

[TomWall]

Willards last recruiting class was a joke

And not a funny joke.

 

[IronKaz1]

we score 2 they score 3

 

[Gohall129]

Dawes back to back 3s… time to buy 15 NIL a jersey for him

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Pirates right on script.

 

[IronKaz1]

the boys seem to enjoy being down 2 comeback for some reason, why not just be up haha

 

[JTSHU]

A pissed off agressive kadary looks a million times better. Why does it take a horrible half to wake up

 

[LBP43]

Dig deep Guys -- Play some D C'Mon

 

[Pirate143]

Between Willard not recruiting well and the schools lack of organization on nil 4-5 years is a good estimate

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Willards last recruiting class was a joke

Last few but that is also with skinn

 

[TomWall]

Dawes D is alarming!

 

[Gohall129]

Dawes back to back 3s… time to buy 15 NIL a jersey for him

Dawes 3 in a row missed 3s. Returned the jerseys

College students.. lol
