FAU Game Thread

[Hall-O-Daze]

Already looking unwatchable. Down 5-3.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Good focus on offense. Just kidding. It will get better.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Go ahead and delete. Looks like we already got a game thread. My bad.

 

[chickenbox]

And this is the third-place game. Good gravy

 

[CaptBob]

Holy shit, a team that shoots almost as bad as we do! Both teams shooting 21% from 2

 

[NYC Pirate]

Good to see Felton in there. Progress right away.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Goaltending on a three. We’ll take it LOL

much better than having the ball in Wusu hands

I noted this a couple games ago: DAW's three-point shooting has actually become his relative strength on offense

I noted this a couple games ago: DAW's three-point shooting has actually become his relative strength:

Relative due the weakness with every other part of the game but on a serious note he shot the ball well (38 and 36%) his last two years at SJ

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

After a putrid start, this is the best our offense has looked. Up 20-10.

 

[chickenbox]

Interesting to see Middleton having a strong game. Friday, it was Coleman. Previous game, Chaunce

And he's doing that this season thus far as well (was at 37.8% coming into the game; has gone 1-2 today)

If only we could find a way to get all three going in the same game - preferably in time for BE play.

 

[chickenbox]

Our putative frontcourt has given us nothing offensively inside this entire tournament (and more or less, all season).

 

[NYC Pirate]

Probably one of the best segments of hoops the entire season. Sha has to stay with this group.

 

[chickenbox]

As much as we (rightfully) get on Wusu, Aligbe is another level of challenged on offense

 

[NYC Pirate]

Don't understand taking Middleton out having a possible bteakout game?? The unit that built 11 point lead had great patient tempo.

Great point. Sha always does that

 

[chickenbox]

Three pointers are our only above average offensive stat. Maybe we should shoot more of them

Incredible. And after the game Sha will say he meant to put him back in despite sitting for the last 8 minutes. ( and puts in Aligbe who is so offensively challenged.). Just incredibly bad job by Sha.

 

[statenman]

Can someone that follows Sha on X ask him to put Middleton in for the ENTIRE 2nd half.

 

[The Crows Nest]

Need more Felton…who Was solid…less Aligbe. More Middleton….less Dual

And yet we are up by 12 at the half

 

[chickenbox]

Props to Sha: he took a timeout before the end of the half to set up a play (which worked). Wish he'd do this all the time.

I'd like to see Felton take minutes from Aligbe, Dual, Wusu

 

[stipe65]

Can’t help myself on this thread. . And all Middleto’s 7 straight points were within the offense, not forced shots like all the crazy head down forced wild drives to the basket that barely draw iron. And yes, Middleton never gets back in the rest of the half.

Yup. Felton played under control, moved the ball, actually had a plan.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Possibly the best half we’ve played so far. Gotta keep the defensive pressure up and find a way to get some easy buckets because FAU isn’t going to miss that many threes again in the second half.

 

[chickenbox]

He looks to have a handle and he's pretty long.

 

[chickenbox]

Fun start to the second half.

Sharpshooter DAW continuing to prove me prophetic.

I think Coleman is our best rebounder

 

[HallGuy23]

It at least seems like Sha is finally benching Wusu after his insufferable barrels to the rim

 

[Jcordasco1952]

And our 15 point lead down to 9 with this ridiculous combination of players Sha has out there.

 

[chickenbox]

Maybe Middleton isn't playing because sha doesn't want to risk his 100% fg percentage for the game

 

[JTSHU]

Let jahseem run. He looks very confident. Handles the ball well

 

[CaptBob]

The Prince is a pauper when it comes to offense---

 

[Jcordasco1952]

Please please please sit Prince down.

 

[chickenbox]

David Threebek

 

[Jerry1992]

Much better today but need to protect ball to finish this one off.

 

[hallstorm]

Overplaying on defense too much and going for steals. Getting burned for easy buckets underneath too often.

Just stay home and play straight up D.

 

[CaptBob]

If FAU was hitting the 3 we'd be way down - it sure isn't the perimeter D
