Game Thread: Pirates vs. Butler

[TomWall]

That’s up 8 with Dawes playing pretty poorly. That fast break fumbled drive turnaround step back one on four 3 was, uh… bad.

Let’s see some good Dawes this half and put them away.

That one was definitely not a VALUE EVERY POSSESSION.

He had some good shots not go in. More than made up for by the many unexpected threes from others

I do understand his thought (a little) since it would have been a dagger-type shot and everyone was hitting everything.

Fun half

I did like the midrange 2 and the drive. That’s good Dawes. When he’s patient and doesn’t force, it’s good ball.

I actually think Dawes is playing just fine. Might want to take that one three ball attempt back. Last season he was playing so fast and out of control at times. Right now he is playing at a good tempo.

Hopefully, Sha maintains confidence in Coleman and Sanders who are both playing well on the road. Also, Richmond has to keep the ball moving and he certainly should try to score in the second half.

If Sha plays this right, could work to our advantage in the second half. Have to think Butler will adjust to the three point shooting, so let's get our inside game going. It's what we do best.

Is it me or was that an oddly long halftime??

Both his 3s were poor shot selection.

3-5 instead of 3-7 looks a hell of a lot better especially if we converted one of those possessions into point.

He has also lost some of their shooters.

It’s not just about his offensive side of the floor.

But not a horrendous game from him. Just be smart on the road in the second half.

 

[SHUSA]

coming out of half with a turnover and fast break butler bucket is exactly the one think you couldnt do. followed by a dawes miss and shu foul.

what is dawes doing when hes holding the ball for 10 seconds doing nothing? move the ball.

hah

 

[HallGuy23]

Save yourselves the posts, this game is going down to the final minute

 

[SHUSA]

shu doing literally everything wrong in no time flat.

 

[PMB Pirate]

Ball getting sticky, let's speed it back up

 

[chickenbox]

Calling fouls differently second half. Got to pay attention and adjust.

 

[Gohall129]

We need a time out before we blow this lead. Need to settle things down with Bediako and Wusu out with 3 fouls

 

[TomWall]

And now the turnovers.....

 

[SHUSA]

Save yourselves the posts, this game is going down to the final minute

the way its going it will be over by 5 mins. i know its the road, but SHU is simply better than butler. its a constant fight against ourselves to simply not play dumb.

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Foul trouble gonna hurt us.

 

[chickenbox]

As many fouls in two minutes of the second as twenty in the first

 

[PMB Pirate]

Decent looks, gotta finish.

 

[SHUSA]

as expected the shots arent going in. this team cant sustain it for a full game. have to limit hollow possessions and turnovers.

 

[TomWall]

Ice cold!

 

[SHUSA]

how can you have a moving pick when YOU STILL HAVE THE BALL

 

[MTOleBlue]

EHE called for a foul because he's bigger and stronger than the Butler player. Give me a damn break

 

[Gohall129]

Moving screen called on EHE. Refs let the moving screen on Screen go free. We earned the posh out of bounds call

 

[chickenbox]

Twos and threes that were dropping in the first half not dropping in the second.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

What are they reviewing??

 

[IronKaz1]

we gotta put it in the hole already its been a while, why dont we go after that Davis kid to draw a foul get him out

 

[TomWall]

Completely different half so far!

 

[IronKaz1]

you cant review a "foul"

 

[JTSHU]

Yea no reviews. Everett sucks. Hedge is fine but stop tryimg to guard posh on the perimeter

 

[Section112]

EHE should not be defending Posh out there. Get back in the paint. He’s too slow for the hedge out there.

 

[NYC Pirate]

So that was a tough segment offensively. Richmond can get an opportunity when he wants but he has to finish. defense has been better for SHU.

 

[JTSHU]

Foul trouble. Dont lose this at the ft line

 

[MTOleBlue]

Bad passes left and right now... uh oh.

 

[IronKaz1]

that goggle guy just smoked everett

 

[JTSHU]

Whats w the stupid sloppy passes

 

[Section112]

that goggle guy just smoked everett

He walked too.

 

[TomWall]

Yikes, haven't scored yet in 2nd half about 5 minutes in.

 

[IronKaz1]

only hope I have is vs gtown we blew it too and kept it together, put Bediako and Wusu back in and roll dice
