Game Thread: Pirates vs. Baylor

[Section112]

I thought that was a charge too but not sure Dawes was outside the circle.

 

[Hall Is Life]

Saunders stuck on the pine. So weird

Soooo slow on defense.

 

[STLPirate12]

And that was a charge but called on Dawes.

And I'm not exactly mad about it

 

[SHUS1516]

Soooo slow on defense.

Could not possibly be a worse defender or shooter than Dawes.

 

[DrummerJerry]

Are we the worst team in the country defending the 3?

 

[Hallball85]

How can a team consistently defend the 3 so bad while not being able to shoot it a lick. 10-20 and half of those were wide open looks

 

[TomWall]

And just like that, back to 9 as we fall asleep on D twice in a row.

 

[mga pirate]

Same story. Fight to cut lead to one possession and then give up easy threes. This defense is all over the place and over thought.

 

[HallGuy23]

Remember last year when we started two guys with zero offense in Ndefo and Femi.. now we have the same thing but worse in Wusu and Dawes. Our wing players can’t do anything! Thats a disaster

 

[PMB Pirate]

Here comes the SHU weave, 3 passes and they are 5 feet farther from the hoop.

 

[Hall Is Life]

We’re gassed and they’re starting to harass Kadary. It was only a matter of time. Gotta buckle down.

 

[stipe65]

Does Bediako even have a touch inside this half?

 

[PirateFan94]

I thought that was a charge too but not sure Dawes was outside the circle.

He was but got there late

 

[stipe65]

Does Bediako even have a touch inside this half?

I guess he can’t if he’s sitting on the bench.

 

[MTOleBlue]

It’s honestly impressive that it’s still a game.

 

[the1ndonly]

This offense is tough to watch. Not much imagination on how to score by team or coach.

 

[TomWall]

Looked like a flop.

 

[JTSHU]

Whys bediako out for so long

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Our offense costs us so much
A shame

 

[mbraue]

Looked like a flop.

Where's Bediako? Why is he sitting so long in crunch time? Fouls? Hurt?

 

[Hall Is Life]

Baylor seriously keyed in on Kadary. We’re stuck in mud right now but as long as we keep defending, we’ll have a puncher’s chance. EHE having a nice night. Tough dude.

 

[Section112]

We are a very physical team and that is helping us hang around. If we could only hit shots. BE refs aren’t helping with the touch fouls they are calling on us. Hanging in though.

 

[PirateFan94]

It’s hard to have a creative offense when you don’t have ANY shooters. Davis doing a nice job but our guards can’t shoot.

 

[Mrpiratee]

Might as well grab the guy’s foot…..

 

[stipe65]

Flagrant unintentional trip. At least we’ve got the Big East officials on our side.

 

[King of S]

Play Sanders over Dawes.

 

[King of S]

Where's Bediako? Why is he sitting so long in crunch time? Fouls? Hurt?

Good question

 

[PirateFan94]

I was actually hoping that was a foul on Dawes.

 

[TomWall]

I was actually hoping that was a foul on Dawes.

Probably was but it was time to give us a call.

 

[stipe65]

Good question

Amazing. Don’t think he even got a shot in the 2nd half. It was a good run by H.E. but Bediako had 3 blocks, 8 pts. In first half and sits forever in the 2nd half. Sha forgot about him?

 

[catholicman]

Daweful play

 

[SHUS1516]

Amazing. Don’t think he even got a shot in the 2nd half. It was a good run by H.E. but Bediako had 3 blocks, 8 pts. In first half and sits forever in the 2nd half. Sha forgot about him?

Wish he’d do that with Dawes

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Dawes took 5 steps on that travel

 

[stipe65]

I thought if you had 4 fouls and took 2 steps with the ball without dribbling you foul out. No?

 

[DrummerJerry]

We folded like a cheap suit

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Well, at least Dawes made his FT’s………

 

[SOpirate]

If dawes has an average game this is a toss up. Frustrating.

 

[catholicman]

If dawes has an average game this is a toss up. Frustrating.

If he was benched we would have had a chance

 

[TomWall]

Dawes took 5 steps on that travel

At least, only Lebron is allowed to do that.

 

[Section112]

Good effort and got some bench guys some minutes. Good to see EHE. Never thought we had a chance. Gotta tighten up our D though. And how do you solve the Dawes problem. Have to lower his minutes from here on out and work the rotation some more.
