the saddest take from this Game was that the Hall never truly challenged --I am still shaking my head --was anything done at half-time? Pirates walking ball up Court with 6 minutes left and sitting back waiting for Monmouth to walk it up??
Gotta say…I’m seriously rethinking that at this point.
Yeah. Usually when we get down against a poor team, you know, at some point, we’re gonna make a predictable run at taking back control. Throughout the years, as underwhelming as we may have played in some of these types of games, you can count on the run or the mounting of an attempt to make things close or steal it at the end - to squeeze out a win in a game we should have won comfortably. This time I just felt in my heart that there would be nothing…..and there wasn’t.
You should be confused if you think he left a ton of talent.
I’d love to do a comparison. Center was Pope and Samuel. Pope flatlined 5 months prior to the season Samuel was a guy who roamed the perimeter and was forced to play the 5. Not sure either gets an edge. Both had junior PGs in Theodore and Richmond. It’s actually scary how close both of their stats were their sophomore and junior years. Hazell should’ve been the difference maker except he was hurt a good chunk of the year. Jeff Robinson was a 4 in a 2s body. With foot speed Tray Jackson could be a 2 in a 4s body. Then they both brought in graduate transfers in polynice and ndefo.
Tray Jackson was a bad player. Can’t paint that any other way. Robinson was just more productive. Undebatable. That isn’t a wash 😂
You and I would sign up for Tray Jackson on this team right now. He was a streaky shooter. He won us the game up at Michigan. He was on fire out a Xavier that year. He had his purpose.
