[hbkmyr]

This is just two bad basketball teams. I’m not sure which one is worse.

 

[SHUSA]

and an offensive foul with a freshman covering him. classic

 

[Powerful Pirates]

How much did we spend for this?

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Whatever happens, I just want you all to know……this game totally sucked @$$.

 

[chickenbox]

HUGE WIN (lol)

We avoided a disaster, thankfully. Learn from it, get better, and move on.

Was this rugby or basketball?

 

[SHU_Pirate1]

Tough game...respect for the effort🙌. This team has some heart. ❤️ talking about St Peter's 🦚

 

[Gohall129]

Mason was the better coach out there tonight

 

[CaptBob]

32% FG, 31% 3pt and 64% FT WOOF !!!

 

[SHUSA]

you had to expect a slow start. thinking all of our injuries are MAJOR contributors

All our injuries? Aren’t we missing just 1 player (Coleman??) That caused everybody else to not shoot straight?

 

[JTSHU]

How many bags of coffee and pirate xmas ornaments do we have to sell to get 1 shooter?

 

[HALL85]

Ugly and sloppy game. Defense saved the game. Take the win and build on it. Not making excuses but not surprised because of the roster turnover.

 

[Section112]

Down the stretch Jenkins needs the ball in his hands. Not Dylan or Dual who are both not good foul shooters.

Ugly game but we got the W.

 

[Pirate143]

He had Jenkins off the ball… he is a good shooter .. I like this team. They will get better

 

[Pirate143]

Duval is long too. Kids played tough

 

[Hall84]

All our injuries? Aren’t we missing just 1 player (Coleman??) That caused everybody else to not shoot straight?

Also missing Okorafor who would have been the starting center over Godswill I imagine

 

[Bluebirds_]

Not going to panic and worry if we are going to be good or not. I thought Dual and Middleton were going to be ALOT more polished on the offensive end. Was shocked at how raw they looked.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Lots of Big East teams struggled last night. Xavier and providence to name a few..

 

[HALL85]

It’s one data point…not dismissing the sloppy play, but also expected it to be somewhat rough. Sha emphasizing defense first and overall that is what won the game. Guards/wings are long and played good defense especially when they needed to. No issue with the effort.

Sloppy passes and too sloppy ball handling.

 

[hallstorm]

Had to be a good amount of nerves last night. For many of these guys, it’s their first start, first big East start as well.

Wonder why Harmon wasn’t in the game at the end when we clearly needed to convert some free throws.
