Game Thread: UConn

[HallGuy2323]

Hopefully no flagrant fouls. Don’t want the pearl clutchers to faint

 

[NYC Pirate]

This place is Amped.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Very Good Start to game. Hall shooting 54% to UConn 28%.

Up one under 12 minutes.

 

[hbkmyr]

Defense is great. Rebounding and foul shooting are not.

 

[The_Hall]

absolute criminal free throw shooting. just left 4 pts on the table from two of our guards.

cripes

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 2 because of missed free throws. They are pkaying at a high level. Guys just need to score.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Sha needed a TO before that.

 

[IronKaz1]

thats the ballgame WE LOST

 

[NYC Pirate]

Bad job by Sha there. He needed TO and compounded it by over subbing.

 

[Piratz]

The offense again…

 

[IronKaz1]

games over2-7 ft;s with high percentage shooters , wasnt meant to be

 

[The_Hall]

aaaaand that's probably a wrap. ever since the 4 missed free throws we completely collapsed on both ends

 

[The_Hall]

might lose by 50

 

[The_Hall]

thats the ballgame WE LOST

this time you are correct. no more magic dust esp vs this team.

 

[hbkmyr]

The guard play…yuck. There just no where for them to go for offense when Clark is out.

 

[The_Hall]

that was terrible. but, it's been terrible for weeks now.

 

[Piratz]

Fortunate to only be down 13 playing like that on offense. Wow.

 

[IronKaz1]

the foul shots killed em

 

[NYC Pirate]

Game is not over. Staton-McCray, Fisher and Payne have 2 points combined in most important game and at home. Come on guys. Missed free throws another sign of a tight team at home. Need to chop away from lead little by little. Must play with more confidence and they can get back in. The fans are ready to be the 6th man!!

 

[HallB]

They are simply bigger stronger faster than us. I’m not hating just stating what I see.

 

[IronKaz1]

that doesnt always win HallB trust me I know from my Bergen Catholic days but we seem to play better on the road with no pressure. speaking of home our crowd is so UN-noisey

 

[PirateBlue08]

Offense has been terrible for quite some time. Uconn breaking through and unless we figure out a way to score this is gonna be a rough second half. Blowout potential if we don't make free throws

 

[Left Coast Pirates]

Clearly the strategy was to not over help off the three point line. Which I agreed with.

the pick and roll defense can’t yield uncontested layups as a result.

and Budd getting another bad second foul did not help things either.

 

[Left Coast Pirates]

You also cannot beat a team like UConn without hitting one 3 pointer.

 

[JTSHU]

5 missed ft. Sloppy posessions and this offense

 

[JTSHU]

These scoring droughts kill us every game. Shaheen has gotta figure out how to run a better offense. It doesnt help we dont knock down shots

I think your third sentence explains the first two.

 

[IronKaz1]

0-9 now from 3

 

[IronKaz1]

why do we NEVER get an AND 1 ugh

 

[IronKaz1]

they just F'd it up when they missed that gimme to go down 4

 

[hbkmyr]

Fisher stinks

 

[IronKaz1]

now itll be 10

 

[JTSHU]

7 missed ft and one T. That 9 potential points

 

[IronKaz1]

omg UCONN was saying here have 2 points now

 

[JTSHU]

Free throws, sloppy turnovers and another budd 4 foul game.

 

[Left Coast Pirates]

7 missed ft and one T. That 9 potential points

Well they have missed 7 also. So our FT defense has been just as good as theirs.

 

[JTSHU]

Jesus ****** christ w the free throws

 

[lr591902]

Lady next to me just asked who are SHU three point shooters. Today i am not sure.

 

[Piratz]

Only down 6 yet 0/11 from 3 and 14/23 FT. Peak SHU.

 

[hbkmyr]

One too Many shots in the foot.
