So Sha wanted the ball to go to Coleman. But instead of drawing up a play to get him open he goes: "don't get denied". What a great strategist
The most amazing stretch in this game was the last 7 minutes or so of the first half. At one point we counted seven straight no basket trips for Gtown that SHU failed to convert into points on the other end. Just convert four of those and we are ahead at the end of the game by 8-10 points. With that and the last play, the problem is we have no big presence down low. Put a strong big down low on that last play and the field opens up for Coleman to get the ball on the inbound and drive. As it is, Coleman is blanketed Wusu panicks and the ball ignominiously rolls away.
This article is spot on. Breeding was lost last night. The head of officiating should dock his pay. The guy is a egomaniac and bad official.
It’s interesting that Dual was benched. It’s crazy to think at different times this season we’ve had 3 and sometimes FOUR players on the court that are incapable of recording a single statistic.
Dual, Aligbe, Toumi and both our centers play like they’ve never played a game before in their life. Just clueless and yes, talentless.
Wanna see talent? Look at the freshman big man yesterday from Trenton.

2pts total from our 4s and 5s and that was from Gus the Bus .
It’s clear we don’t have a big man coach on this staff. If we asked any of our PF’s or Centers to take an 8 foot jumper I think their body would explode.
Here is what the coach can do. Call a TO when the ball didnt get to Zay asap.
And one other thing. Take the blame, regardless of the details.
All my SMH is gonna leave me like Regan in The Exorcist.

There was an offensive possession in the first half where Godswill’s man got lost and he was wide open for at least 3-4 seconds underneath the basket. Our guy with the ball (Jenkins maybe) didn’t even look to him once. Inexcusable.
Drives me nuts when they have the ball 3 feet from the hoop & they pass it back out to the guards.. Every single one of them does it.
There was an earlier stretch also where they had 7 empty trips in a row and couldn't convert one....
This is all related. The team has no flow, nobody plays together for long. Every game is starting to feel like a one-off. Sha is scrambling with this group. He basically only gives consistent run to the two guys who he had last year and one of them is so far out of position it’s making everything else look worse.
You see Felton, you don’t. You see Tubek, you don’t. The Aligbe Saga. Middleton shows promise but fouls galore, he comes out. Dual goes from 25+ minutes for games to 8. Jenkins is 3rd in MPG but doesn’t see the floor until the first substitutions.
I’m really surprised how chaotic and unorganized it all looks.
We are shooting 46% at the rim (among the worst in the country) and 36% from three. So, we are actually better off kicking it out for three (1.08 points per attempt) than shooting a layup (.92 points per attempt).
Which is great.
That’s all true. However, what is Shaheen supposed to do? If he stuck to a strict starting 5 and 1 or 2 subs this place would go equally nuts.
Imagine Dual, Wusu, Aligbe and Okorafor playing 34+ minutes every game just for the sake of continuity.
🤮
Why it’s clear you gotta pay for impact players and move on even if it means no bench.
None of our bigs can make that three-foot shot. If it's more than six inches from the rim it's likely to be a miss.
In 13 games, Godswill is 11-17, Manny is 10-23 and Gus is 11-30. That's 32-70 or 45.7%. Decent but not great and being carried by Godswill's numbers.
Worse they're a combined 8-25 on free throws.
None of them are Big East players. Ehreriene has shown no level of ability other than dunks or very easy put backs. Nor is he a good rebounder or defense and I don’t see anything that makes me think it’ll come next year or the year after
In fairness to Manny and especially Godswill, they are so new to the game their skills are extremely raw.
I see some good things out of Godswill but he has a lot to work on.
