Game Thread: Butler

[Hall84]

And our 3s have been more wide open than our free throws!!

On the other hand if Bizjack were playing?

Guys are missing great looks. Have to go inside and have patience for rest of the game. Lack of confidence by The Hall. Down only 1 at the half.

Refs???? Hope they don't become the difference.

It's a pretty physical game but they are blowing the whistle pretty often.

Might be trying to make sure what happened yesterday doesn’t happen today

My thoughts exactly. The NCAA probably sent out an edict to the refs.

 

[HallBall7392]

great start

 

[Left Coast Pirates]

Budd has done a complete 180 from his performance vs Providence.

10 points from our Big 3 is a recipe for disaster. Which is what this is at the moment.

 

[CaptBob]

this is setting the game of basketball back 50 years---

 

[PMB Pirate]

Not much urgency so far, still a ways to go. Butler is going to shrink this game, they are protecting the ball so hopefully we can speed this up without fouling every play.

I don't care if Budd shoots 15 times this half

 

[SHU Advisory]

The lack of effort is so disturbing. The halftime talk did zero good. Will anyone step up?

 

[Left Coast Pirates]

The offensive futility so far is mind blowing

1-10 from 3
2-8 from the line
10 turnovers

 

[PMB Pirate]

AJ, AJ, AJ, c'mon. Has to be a threat. The ball is sticking, slow movement, SPEED !!

Sha - get in Budds ear, no reach or BS touch foul 40 feet from the hoop.

 

[CaptBob]

we have 6 players tied for high score-- 4 points!!!!!! balanced scoring

 

[NYC Pirate]

Have to keep going at Ajayi right now. He us doing it to us on the offensive ebd.

 

[PMB Pirate]

Budd 4 - ouch. Parker ??? - maybe Mike W at point, I don't know where to go here.

 

[anon1776442940]

These guys suck

 

[Seton00]

Fire everyone. We are always the dumbest team ever.

 

[Hallball85]

Was this team paid to throw this game because it’s not even funny how much that it looks like they were

Refs have taken over this game. Plus Hall not playing smart today.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Every 2nd half this year...Clark with 3 and 4 fouls

 

[SHURich]

How about an easy win

4of12 from the line-- pathetic

 

[Medugorje]

Win or lose, this is a horrible team; hustle but make dumb fouls and cannot shoot 3’s or foul shots. Playing a team which is riddled with injuries and lost there last 5 games

 

[PMB Pirate]

OK, there needs to be absolute urgency from here on out. Need every 50/50 ball. EVERY one

 

[CaptBob]

the bubble has officially popped

 

[PMB Pirate]

Just gotta win by 1. - Nice AJ action, curl off screen, open J. Oh man, what a grind.

Shoot 50 % from the line = loss

 

[NYC Pirate]

They must stay out on those wings. The frontcourt guys have to keep the Butler points in the paint to a minimum. No more Fouls.

 

[CTF591011]

Is Providence actually a Key win? LOL. It has to be NC State and Creighton and maybe Xavier. Xavier actually beat St Johns

 

[NYC Pirate]

AJ Max Focus!

Hall
Up 56-53 just over 4 minutes.

 

[PMB Pirate]

Sha getting AJ good looks, AJ executing. Still a long ways to go, I'm nervous due to Budd's difficulties today. Clamp time without BS reach fouls.

 

[CTF591011]

Credit where it's due. Good job Willaims lol. I feel he is possibly much better off the bench.

 

[PMB Pirate]

FT, FT, FT !! We miss, we lose. NICE - 2 by BUDD

 

[shu09]

Seton Hall has played very good defense at the rim in this one. That said, two bad teams on the court with the Hall marginally better than the Bulldogs. This game went largely as I expected - ugly, with Seton Hall pulling out a win.

 

[The_Hall]

never a doubt

 

[CaptBob]

that was probably the ugliest win ever-- but we'll take it

 

[JD Walker]

Final
Pirates 63
Bulldogs 56

 

[CaptBob]

13 BLOCKS !!! what's the SHU game record?

 

[Uncle Hectors Crab Farm]

Cats still sceaming at tv n throwing bud light slim cats at people. Sad n joke

 

[NYC Pirate]

Never in doubt. That's a Double Aspirin Game.

AJ and Williams stepped up.

 

[PMB Pirate]

Got a win, all that matters. - Ugly, pretty, good, bad who gives a s***. Keep winning, grind.
