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..
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 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.
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

I don't know. I guess either go with one of the putative PGs and give them the ball / have them direct the offense (not just another positionless guard on the court) or see how Chaunce does as lead guard.
Staff has to figure out a way to get Dual isolated in the post more against smaller defenders. Richmond was very good at it & I don't think we capitalized on the mismatches nearly enough when he was here. It would definitely open up the offense but the question would still be, could we make the higher % shots.
That said, I get the feeling Sha may view DAW as his only ride or die guy. And if so, feels like he's untouchable and hard to see him not starting regardless of whoever the other four are.
