Game Thread: Pirates vs. Georgetown

[lloyde dobler]

Reminder: KenPom and Mr. NET don‘t like turnovers

 

[HallBoy32]

Well it looks like we’ve never faced a zone before

 

[Pirates13]

Terrible job by Sha not calling a timeout to stop this run. Giving it all back…

 

[MTOleBlue]

Horrendous turnovers. Just terrible ball handling by every single player.

 

[HallBall7392]

Ugly but we will pick it up. Way too many turnovers.

 

[SHUsez]

10 turnovers?!

 

[chickenbox]

What in the absolute world has happened? Our fg percentage is still great because of so many possessions without a single attempt!

 

[CaptBob]

When you turn it over 10 times, big leads tend to disappear.

 

[IronKaz1]

NCAA teams dont f this up

 

[MTOleBlue]

Hope Sha tears into them the way he needs to at halftime bc this is a massive collapse

 

[TomWall]

Sleepwalking since that great start. Sha needs to RIP them at halftime.

 

[schultz1825]

Sorry if this has been asked but if Tubek not dressed? Could really use him in a small line up right now.

 

[IronKaz1]

they have ZERO home court advantage, idk what happened, we got lazy with the lead, chucking passes away and blah, this game better not sink us

 

[catholicman]

Some headscratching calls by the refs

 

[Gohall129]

Here’s what’s confusing about sha and what a lot of posters were frustrated with early in the season.

Tubek gave some quality minutes vs the length and quickness of Marquette. Tonight we’re struggling with the length and speed of the ball movement, yet Tubek stays on the bench.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Can't handle the zone . Put someone in the middle please?

 

[MTOleBlue]

Team looks totally confused by the zone defense

 

[MBF72]

Nothing from the bench.

 

[MTOleBlue]

That's much better. Coleman playing well

 

[chickenbox]

Nice shots from Coleman. Dawes keeping us from giving up the lead.

 

[Gohall129]

Team looks totally confused by the zone defense

Back to back nice offensive sets after 10 minutes of confusion

 

[chickenbox]

We are EXTREMELY lucky more of their wide open trees didn't go down. Could have easily been trailing at the half, as crazy as that sounds

 

[Hall-O-Daze]

Good first half. We let them get back into it, but we finished strong. Up eight at the half on the road is pretty good. Gotta watch those turnovers!

 

[HallX2]

Their zone zoned us out for a stretch.

 

[TomWall]

We might want to cover Epps. He was really the only one killing us. Gotta stop the careless turnovers. Agree on Tubek. No idea why he didn't play.

 

[IronKaz1]

I think Dawes mental state sky rocketed after the last couple weeks and he is playing 2 his potential

 

[The Crows Nest]

Their zone zoned us out for a stretch.

And Kadary out for a stretch and the offense went stagnant.

 

[catholicman]

Their zone zoned us out for a stretch.

Georgetown's zone was pretty effective. Surprising. We need ball movement and off ball movement to beat it. That's what started to work.

The Hoyas are playing with a lot of energy. They have some fast guards. I hope we dont get gassed. That Georgetown run may not only have been due to their zone but also our fatigue.

 

[CaptBob]

Thankfully Gt shot 3/19 from 3 or things might be a lot different.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Cut the turnovers and we have this game under control again.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

You have to get the ball to middle of this zone . It's weak in middle

 

[SHUSA]

if dawes finished the game now i'd call it his best game. the others... woof. think they started thinking this was a formality

 

[MTOleBlue]

Kadary Richmond is so, so good.

 

[chickenbox]

Did they not call a foul on the guy who clawed wusu's eyes?

 

[schultz1825]

We can't have nice things. Crazy. Kadary looks pretty bad at the end of the bench.

 

[TomWall]

Did they not call a foul on the guy who clawed wusu's eyes?

Not sure as it still shows as only 1 foul.

 

[chickenbox]

Ok, so they didn't call a foul on the eye claw. I figured they'd check the replay to see if a flagrant.

How did they not call a foul on that? Looked like two guys trying to foul to stop a fast break. I'm legit confused

 

[TomWall]

We can't have nice things. Crazy. Kadary looks pretty bad at the end of the bench.

We have been lucky with injuries. Hopefully that didn't just change.

 

[catholicman]

Kadary Richmond is so, so good.

And apparently injured.

Wusu got clobbered with no call. Georgetown is getting away with murder. This is how injuries happen.

 

[PiratePride]

Anybody else totally annoyed with Dave Sims and the female announcer?
