IRON's Hall vs Butler Game Thread

[hbkmyr]

They take an awful lot of jump shots for a team that can’t make jump shots

 

[Powerful Pirates]

Do we practice offense

 

[CaptBob]

shooting 33% from the field doesn't cut it--lucky to be down by 10 at the half

 

[IronKaz1]

every friggin game were losing at halftime, its amazing. im so frustrated, miss after miss while 1-5 Butler makes and makes. Shaheen needs to change the plan at the break

 

[JD Walker]

Halftime
Butler 34
Hall 24

33% shooting from the field, 1-8 from 3, 1-3 from the line. Yuck.

 

[The_Hall]

can't keep doing this lol

 

[Robot_Man]

Down double digits again. We're just gonna do this every game, huh?

 

[NCAAsorBust]

No shock. This team is terrible at basketball. Expect Sha to unleash the press, turn it into a track meet and eventually feel sorry for the Butler.

 

[PirateBlue08]

How are we so completely and utterly unable to get a simple post up for Hines? We are wasting this kids talent, especially since nobody on this team can execute offense

 

[IronKaz1]

14-5 4-4 we have to win the next 3 afterwards... gonna be 1-3 and home now terrible, should just play on the road

 

[PirateBlue08]

Im beginning to really dread the second half of the first half of our games

 

[JTSHU]

1-8 from 3 and shooting 33% again and again and again. U gotta attack that 1 3 1 w budd

 

[IronKaz1]

why cant we get them in foul trouble instead of us

When Budd gets in the paint they're bodying him up. He is struggling with their size. I'd like to see a bigger guard attack.

why cant he use his size to his advantage and pump fake em and draw shots?

 

[NYC Pirate]

jThe shots became worse as the half went on. What can you say? Just chop away as usual.. Need to get crowd involved.

 

[IronKaz1]

whatever we did did not work, so as a coach change it

 

[JTSHU]

Weve been exposed. We look like an 8/9 seed

5'8" pump fakes don't work as well on 6'3" guards, even flat footed the defender is in good shape

 

[JTSHU]

Shocker another foul to start the half

 

[The_Hall]

wow offense and defense stinks. really going to lose to butler at home by 20+??

 

[IronKaz1]

3 fouls already, oh well people this is the last place big east team

 

[PMB Pirate]

Wow, ugly. - press time

 

[JTSHU]

Is steph playing w 1 hand?

 

[IronKaz1]

4 fouls in 3 minutes

 

[IronKaz1]

see ya after St Johns fellow Pirates

 

[JTSHU]

Halls been exposed. Lets hope for an 8/9 seed

 

[The_Hall]

ASM is hot garbage. unplayable.

Payne getting that way quickly too.

this is a season cratering loss.

 

[The_Hall]

Halls been exposed. Lets hope for an 8/9 seed

[HallBall7392]

Looks like teams will play 1-3-1 against us moving forward.

 

[hbkmyr]

Play with fire…..

 

[IronKaz1]

8/9 seed in the BET

 

[PMB Pirate]

Game of runs, we will go on one NOW. Just go to the rim the rest of the game.

 

[IronKaz1]

the pre game host guys were like Shaheens teams are trained to play D without fouling and have massive depth. yet today were fouling ourway out of this game. ugh

 

[IronKaz1]

Two straight possessions with a score feels like an offensive burst in this one...

 

[Piratz]

Butler shooting 56% with only 4 turnovers. Nuts.

 

[The_Hall]
