[Powerful Pirates]

Good start..

 

[Jcordasco1952]

Where is the game on TV??

 

[Seton75]

fs2 we got bumped for car racing.

 

[CaptBob]

X on a 13-0 run & the announcer says that to get back in the game, the Hall has to: 1) get back on D in transition, 2) Stop the turnovers, 3) guard the 3, 4) score some points !!! This has been going on all season, where's he been? Thankfully it wasn't Fanta.

for good reason...at least so far

 

[SOpirate]

How many 20 point 1st halves until Sha gets over himself and hires an assistant that’s able to coach offense?

 

[PJVegas]

Great first half D. Held X to 40. 😵‍💫

 

[Medugorje]

Same old story with this team! At least they are consistent!

 

[SPK145]

Yacine Toumi, 3 minutes played, -12 +/-
Gus Yalden, 3 minutes played, -9 +/-

Those are unconscionable.

 

[PJVegas]

Good first 1/2 for SH. Only 4th time this season held to 21 or less. Could have been worse. Will they reach 40+ (SH for game, X in 2nd 1/2. lol)

 

[CaptBob]

Here comes a 30+ point loss. With X"s record, Miller cannot afford to call the dogs off or risk the bubble status. But 21 points at the half??? This is beyond bad-

 

[SPK145]

Middleton got up to get in the game, took off his warmup shirt, AND DIDN'T HAVE HIS GAME JERSEY ON!!! A manager had to go get it. And then he played real lackadaisical. SMH.

 

[PJVegas]

Good start to 2nd 1/2. Go Pirates!

 

[CaptBob]

Nice pass to the fan in the second row--

 

[Piratz]

Good Lord, it's so painful watching this team play basketball. What in the world, Sha?

 

[SOpirate]

In case there was any doubt that the UConn game was a complete fluke…

 

[Hallball85]

I’m at the game and in the first half Sha wanted Middleton to check in and he didn’t have his jersey in, left it in the locker room. Now he is t even on the bench in the 2nd half

Laughable team.

 

[SOpirate]

I’ve still got a faith that Seton Hall can be a top tier MAAC team one day.

You mean Baby Mamu and Baby Jokic?

The humor helps these days.

 

[Piratz]

We have such bad offensive players with absolutely no feel around the rim it's astounding. Still. 4 months in.

Maybe they are allowing kegs on campus again??

 

[Seton00]

I've said it a couple times this year, but apparently he hasn't gotten the message. Whoever the guy is behind the announcers... screaming at the refs, STOP. You're literally always wrong.

 

[SOSHU]

Where’s Middleton??

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Where’s Middleton??

Having jersey issues

Always wrong. Love it when he screams "And 1" yet no basket has been made.

He is a great, passionate Pirate fan though.

 

[hallstorm]

Has there ever been a game where Driscoll somehow doesn’t make it about himself.

He’s such an ass, he shouldn’t be anywhere near the basketball court.

 

[Piratz]

Good effort at least. Great comeback.

It's nice to see but you really only get to say that when you've already been blown out.

Yep. Simply too much bad basketball over the course of the full game.

 

[SOpirate]

Great effort for the last 10 minutes. Lackadaisical the first 30. Not acceptable.

 

[NYC Pirate]

9300 fans for a team with our record is an excellent job by The Hall fans. Maybe not as many as announced but a very good showing.

Fans hungry for anything positive out of this team..

The 3 on 1 fast break in the 2nd half when we were clawing back when Coleman didn't pass and took a fadeaway jumper from outside the lane on the other side of the lane from where he started....classic. Shaheen tried to break something but thankfully didn't have anything around him to destroy.

Omg was screaming pass it to the trailer.
Kind of sums up the mentality of the situation and the team

coleman scored a bunch. shot well. and made a slew of awful plays. like this one.

 

[radecicco]

Coleman is one of our few reasons for hope. He’s a sophomore. He’s going to be inconsistent and make mistakes.

Yup and it goes both ways when assessing his play. I think it's fair to say that some of the "points accumulation" is because we are often down big in games, we let him basically shoot whenever he wants (because he has to), so much of the "offense" we run is about getting him off screens or in switchable matchups, and he has the ultimate greenlight the entire game. So there is the Ricky Davis/Cavs element to that. The flipside though, and what's a good thing, is that he is the focal point of every opponent, so much of the scoring onus is on him, and he still has some really good games.
