Game Thread: Pirates vs. St. John’s

[IronKaz1]

did them not having Slick Rick in game 1 hurt them that bad ?

 

[SHUSA]

and not making free throws leading to a 3 from them.

this game is over. season officially on life support. also will be a struggle to finish over .500. the players on this team can blow up a game so much easier than they can dominate a game

 

[Gohall129]

Only Being down 12 at the half when we played 3 minutes of good basketball is a blessing

 

[MTOleBlue]

We played like absolute crap and it's only a 12 point deficit. Could be a lot worse.

 

[Mrpiratee]

Being down 12 at the half isn't so bad after that mess

 

[SHUSA]

@SHUSA we cut it to down 15 AND had the ball they just blew this game to us didn’t they?!

sju possessions are long and have many second attempts. shots are being generated from quality areas. i saw no quick airballs early in the shot clock. did you?

 

[the1ndonly]

Good job to cut the lead there. Obviously need to come out of halftime hot.

 

[SHUSA]

refs started giving a whistle at the end. SJU was getting away with a lot.

curious, how many big leads does rick pitino blow?

 

[Gohall129]

We beat Butler at home, smashed SJU how r they all so close 2 us we beat the #1 nd 4 tean

NET. Butler also has wins of Creighton and MU.

St. John’s has no good wins

 

[Section112]

Refs have to be on the take here. We have to get fouled two or three times before we get a call. They are pushing off and constantly throwing moving picks and no calls. Gotta get tougher in the second half.

Wait so when we are up 14 with 10 min to go in the game we blew them game?

But when we cut it to 12 at half we have “no brains” and it’s all just on STJ?

Weird…

 

[JTSHU]

Kadary needs to stop deferimg and take over. Isaiah has an alpha mentality. Get him some touches.

 

[Section112]

Shas T got us going a little. Still giving up way too many second chance points.

Problem is he’s getting hammered when he does and no calls.

 

[IronKaz1]

X is better than SJU , we beat SJU badly, same players, dont tell me the man in the suit made that much a difference

 

[JTSHU]

Keep going. Calls will come. Hes gotta create for this offense

 

[PirateFan94]

We have to stop taking wild shots hoping for a call. KR and Dawes do it way too often.

 

[ed odowd]

Still 9-6 but we can’t afford to not show up for the remaining games.Must go 3-2 for rest of season or no dance for us.I could tell after 5 minutes we didn’t come to play hard.Kinda like nova game with similar results.Wusu 0 for 4 why is he still a starter and Sha tell him not to shoot threes he is awful from there.

More like a miracle.

 

[LBP43]

12 may be too big a hole especially on road where Pitinos are fouling on every O board
Have to keep trying to get inside

 

[HallX2]

Sha’s first T this year? Don’t recall one last year either.

 

[the1ndonly]

Crowd getting quiet.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Should be a 5 point game
Stop with the scrappy possessions..lets go

 

[Gohall129]

Great work to bring the deficit to 6 and then we go back to back bone head offensive sets.

 

[IronKaz1]

the white guy CONWAY just ended us

 

[SOpirate]

St. John’s leaving the door open and begging us to walk through. Need to convert these looks at the rim.

 

[HallBall7392]

Why the floater early in the shot clock. Makes no sense

 

[IronKaz1]

we had a shot down 6 but blew it totally

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

we had a shot down 6 but blew it totally

Dawes 1 on 5
I mean can we execute any worse

 

[lloyde dobler]

Metrics don’t lie

 

[Gohall129]

Dawes 1 on 5
I mean can we execute any worse

Evil Al hits a 3 and all sanity leaves the building

 

[NYC Pirate]

Looks like it will have to be Dawes.

 

[Gohall129]

the white guy CONWAY just ended us

Not often do we want the white guy to shoot it, but todays the day to let it happen

 

[williaza01]

Why does @SHUSA only post when we are down double digits?

Weird…

yea that was the way to blow the game. quick airballs in the beginning of the shot clock. being down by 12 is from the same no brains play that we watch game in and game out. what dont you get?

 

[SHUSA]

geez my dude i just got ice cream at half.

 

[williaza01]

[SHUSA]

[SHUSA]

ben and jerrys cookie dough. wife got wine.

coaching adjustments out of half are in favor of SHU
