[JD Walker]

SHU up 4-3 a minute and a half in

 

[NYC Pirate]

Decent start. Can't turn it over and must protect rim a tad better. 8-8 under 16 minutes.

 

[chickenbox]

Fun team to watch and root for! Who would have thought?

 

[NYC Pirate]

19-14 lead under 12 minutes. Don't recall a SHU team playing at this tempo.

 

[papacheesy2]

It's so fun to see a whole team of guys who play ball like Shaheen did. Total buy--in

 

[lloyde dobler]

Fouls could become a problem

 

[HallGuy2323]

Pretty sure Parker took about 6 steps on that dunk…

 

[chickenbox]

WHAT THEY GON SAY NOW???

 

[chickenbox]

let's get a timeout (just kidding - not sha's style)

 

[NYC Pirate]

29-19 under 8 minutes. Keep up this pace and we will be in the game the whole way.

 

[HallGuy2323]

One thing I notice is that when we grab a defensive rebound, especially by a big man we are immediately looking up court and making a pass to near mid court and moving quick.

I think @Halldan mentioned this in the preseason. I questioned how it would work. Right now it looks to be a massive strength.

 

[chickenbox]

Rivera with quick fouls and a barely-avoided turnover in very little court time

 

[NittanyPirate]

Fouls could become a problem

For sure. Gotta love the 14-4 points off turnover advantage.

 

[chickenbox]

Clark floater looks very solid last game and this one

 

[chickenbox]

Gabe Dynes is the shortest 7'5 player I've ever seen

 

[NYC Pirate]

34-24 under 4 minutes. Good offense, just need to finish and make shots.

 

[papacheesy2]

Can't believe Budd picked up his third foul like that

 

[chickenbox]

Tough last four minutes. Hopefully can regain composure to start the second half

 

[NittanyPirate]

Couple of thoughts at the half.

1. Seton Hall has been the better team.
2. Refs are calling a very tight game.
3. Seton Hall has been the better team

 

[Pirates94]

Can't believe Budd picked up his third foul like that

I hate that call. 2 guys going for loose ball. Let them play.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Bad last 2 minutes. Lead cut to 42-38 plus Clarke's 3rd. Rice is unstoppable. Hall missed quite s few shots in last 5 minutes. However, The Hall looks great and maybe back?

 

[jklings99]

Clark can’t pick up that 3rd foul. Has to be smarter

 

[pirate AI]

Clark can’t pick up that 3rd foul. Has to be smarter

But Sha has to get him out of game. We had a double digit lead when he picked up 2 nd foul. They are calling it tight. He has to get him out. Makes no sense. So stupid.

 

[ivyhillpark63]

Need to start 2nd half as we did yesterday..

 

[jklings99]

He’s a junior. He’s gotta be smarter

 

[Piratz]

Tough end to the half. The fouls are an issue.

 

[MooneyHall07]

Budd starting the 2nd half with 3 fouls standing in the paint between Ezra Ausur and the basket on back to back possessions. Yikes

 

[PirateFan95]

Refs ruining this one. Screeching halt

 

[NYC Pirate]

Hall 53-49 under 16 minutes. Not enough stops since 4 minutes in first half. USC either scoring or going to the line. It will be tough for The Hall to hang on.

 

[chickenbox]

rare early TO from sha - wonder what he saw / wants

 

[anon1776442940]

Cant tell but these games are being called way too tight

 

[MooneyHall07]

The officiating is egregiously bad

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 6. Cannot get any stops at all.

 

[lloyde dobler]

The officiating is egregiously bad

Not so much that it’s bad, but just too tight.

 

[chickenbox]

from up by like 15 to down by 6 (and the last eight, very quickly) - bummer

 

[ivyhillpark63]

Down 6. Cannot get any stops at all.

And can't rebound all of a sudden

 

[chickenbox]

And can't rebound all of a sudden

or force turnovers

 

[chickenbox]

could have been moving screen on USC for Williams fourth foul

 

[HallGuy2323]

Refs all of a sudden decided to call a foul every possession. Unwatchable because of them

 

[chickenbox]

not trending the right way - hopefully can reverse that coming out of the TV timeout
