SHU Pirates at Nova Game Thread

[Piratz]

Good half. To be down 4 with Desi on bench and 1/7 from 3 is encouraging.

 

[Piratz]

We need to heat up from 3 to win.

 

[IronKaz1]

Piratz it is also a big tease........ we HAD this, when it was 11-4 we had a shot, Nova is also 6/11 from the line

 

[NYShoreGuy]

The only good thing, Powell can randomly just get hot out or nowhere

Cale ankle roll looked bad

 

[NYC Pirate]

Geez I wish some star high school recruit from the area would like to play in a game like this.

 

[SHUHitman]

It's an phrase from the late 19th and early 20th centuries when New Jersey was a major center of the Industrial Revolution in America.

Lol thanks for answering this. Why on Earth would someone think it references drug culture? Even more so, why would Gus Johnson keep saying it if it were?

 

[IronKaz1]

Cale looks like he got a bone contusion not rolled ankle

 

[Section112]

How about that block on Bridges from Ish! Hell of a play!!

 

[SHUmash90]

Powell is 0-4 from 3. Just keep shooting. They will start to go down. We need him to be the sniper not the slasher. Keep feeding Angel inside. Powell will free up for better looks.

What?? It's Trenton's motto, it's on the side of one of the bridges to Philly from Trenton.

Ah, shows where perspective can lead you. Have only heard it from Johnson in these games, and as a non-njer from a city of industrial decline who grew up on rap, bustling manufacturing and global commerce didn't come to mind.

Rarely are you ever going to get out early on #1 and run and hide.

 

[IronKaz1]

I just feel like we had opp's to take a semi bit of control, when the stars align Powell hits that 3, but again he's an enigma and can get hot

 

[LBP43]

If Powell starts to hit--Hall will win this Game-- the shots are there and we know Jay will pack it in for 2nd half-- Lets go Pirates

Nova can be very aggressive on defense they have no foul issues

 

[Jerry1992]

Desi in foul trouble with Cale possibly injured is a concern. Still can win but need both to contribute in second half.

 

[chickenbox]

Explained first above. Second would be not knowing the reference but thinking it sounds cool (even though it doesn't make in the context regardless of the meaning). That said, it's clear Johnson almost surely understood the reference better than me!

 

[chickenbox]

Ouch

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

5 vs 8 with these homer refs

 

[chickenbox]

Let's get Gordon in for kc before he gets his fourth

 

[IronKaz1]

heartbreak city coming

 

[Jerry1992]

Excellent game. No calls going our way but hanging around.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Tied game at 48-48!under 16 minutes.

 

[catholicman]

We're really not getting a fair whistle.

 

[mga pirate]

Wow not a foul guy but that's not a charge and Ish hit on side going for ball

 

[IronKaz1]

powell did not charge

 

[hallwins]

Kevin needs a plan for SPELLman already what does he have like 17

Pick your poison.

 

[IronKaz1]

our team is not known for being in foul trouble either

 

[chickenbox]

Really impressed with our poise. Threes not falling, foul trouble, but tied on road against number one. Play in the paint has been the key

 

[LBP43]

Hall is going to win this Game--Myles Powell is going to get hot

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Hands up please

 

[chickenbox]

Kc has to come out

 

[chickenbox]

I hate being prophetic

 

[Jerry1992]

Playing with guys in foul trouble is killing defense. Refs are horrible.

 

[catholicman]

Is this fixed?

 

[Jerry1992]

Wondering if we see Cale again. Ankle twist looked pretty bad. Tough considered foul situation.

 

[Section112]

Foul on Khadeen was a travesty.

 

[chickenbox]

Walker in. Because of cale, I assume

 

[Section112]

Total BS reffing in the last five minutes.

 

[Ferreri22]

Not true. Two travels just went against them, One was pretty questionable imo

Like I was saying...

 

[chickenbox]

Why did shot clock reset?

Walker played solid d on brunson but too short
