Not even a game thread…
- Thread starter hallstorm
- Start date
The offense is still ugly frankly for lack of a better term. On the other end holding any D-1 opponent under 30 points is extremely impressive. Have to give this group credit for regrouping after two brutal losses.
Need to win at least two down in Charleston if there’s any legitimate chance of salvaging this season.

Per Fox sports broadcast 28 points allowed is a SHU program record.
I think we’ve found a team more offensively challenged then us.
The name is Wagner.
They were brutal
Nice to bounce back with a double digit win over an opponent that we should do that too. Vegas isn’t stupid and there is a reason we were 15+ point favorites. The team and staff needed this after the last two debacles.
As far as the remainder of the OOC, we need to run the table IMO to have any chance of having a semblance of a season. Unless we are going to surprise in the conference even more than last year.
Today was the first step in hopefully righting the ship.
Hall D had everything to do with that . Let's give them credit
I think you are correct. From the SHU Record Book:

2. 15 vs. Maryland, 12/30/41
3. 16 vs. Cathedral, 11/27/15
4. 18 vs. Rutgers, 1/9/43
5. 19 vs. West Chester State, 12/2/40
6. 20 vs. Rider, 2/17/47
7. 22 vs. St. Francis (PA), 2/5/41
9. 22 vs. Loyola (MD), 2/2/40
9. 23 vs. Scranton, 1/23/42
10. 26 vs. Rider, 1/6/41, 26 vs. Illinois Wesleyan, 1/4/41
11. 3 games tied at 27
Why is Addae-Wusu playing the point, even when Jenkins is on the floor? Not his fault be he has no idea how to run an offense. Shaheen said we are down 2 point guards - who are they and will they rescue Addae? Can’t score 60 points or shoot free throws, so defense is not going to do it with better competition. That said, defense was very good and Toumi should start. 2nd most talented guy on the team.
I think 8-3 with a win @ Rutgers would be enough to keep post season hope alive. Good news is there should be plenty of opportunities for quality wins in conference play.
I think it would depend who that third loss is to - Oklahoma State doesn't seem like they are any good, so I don't know what we are getting if we win that game (and it is must win now IMO) and a loss might hurt too. I suppose if it was someone that projects to be solid like VCU in Charleston it wouldn't be an issue if we win at Rutgers, but then we need to do real serious damage in the Big East.
Last year we didn't have any horrific OOC losses. We didn't have any good OOC wins, either, but we had no losses like these past 2. And look what it took for us to do in conference play to even get where we ultimately landed on the bubble.
Getting ahead of myself though, because with this group it will literally be one game at a time IMO.
Maybe they thought they only needed 28 points to beat us. Serves them right
How many shots did Wagner have that should have gone down but spun out? It looked a lot like the way we usually shoot! ---But I'll take it. Granted it was Wagner, but the offence looked a little better (notice I said a LITTLE)
Stipe65 --Agree with most of what you write but not about Toumi --in fact I am shocked he got an assist awarded.
So, I think the NIT could be possible. Yes, one game at a time. How will we beat a team with length that pushes our offense out to the perimeter? The defense has been relatively solid except for a few plays in the late stages of the two losses. We will still root, but we have to be realistic too.
Unfortunately our offense is pushed out to the perimeter already. If we don’t get more off the ball actions and penetration, it will be more of the same with hoisting 3s at the end of the shot clock.
