Seton Hall Game Thread

[forgetful]

Do you really believe a college basketball player gets tired 4:15 seconds into a game?

Could you recap for me the "mistakes" JJJ made in the first 4:15 of the game?

The obvious mistake was a forced drive early in the shot clock into 3 defenders that led to a TO.  He also, started to gamble again on D, instead of playing position.

Yes, they do get tired after 4:15 if they are playing hard.  They then need a very short break and a little water.

sweet spin move by Steve

Thanks to SH for calling that TO

Lose the pin Jim. That's enough TV time for a ref.

Ners, I'm really noticing in this thread that you really are a two trick pony.  It's either Derrick bashing or talking about how great JjJ is.  There's not much in between.

Big Fishy needs to not pick up the 4th foul...

Was Burr wearing an autism awareness pin or an Alzheimer's pin?

You are just noticing this...lucky for you, I guess.

he forgets which one!

Taylor looking as good as he has in awhile. I'd like for him to get some of Juan's minutes at the 4. He plays well along side Luke at his natural position.

Just thinking it's even worse in this thread.

Are you kidding??  Please go quote a post from this whole thread where I've bashed Derrick??
If you can't handle a little humor on the "assist" comment please - stop being so hypersensitive.  I even wrote it was a good cut by Derrick to get free for the layup...

And I don't say how "great" JJJ is - just saying what is true - he forces action..sometimes good, sometimes bad - but you need guys who are playmakers.  If you are on the floor with Derrick and Juan - you want either of Duane, JJJ, or Luke launching your shots.  Just the way it is.

At what minute mark will we start holding the ball and playing not to lose? I sure hope wojo addressed it and we stay aggressive early in the shot clock!

Also I would add that JJJ missing a drive is no different than Carlino missing a bomb. It is what he does well and we want him to do it.

It was the pin he received when he attended Remedial Refereeing Class.

Derrick has taken four shots as the clock expired so far, he is 0 for 6 in the game.  

I just don't get this offense for MU.  Just like last game, playing with lead and just passing around at top, then shoot one up with seconds left.  

Here comes Gibbs......

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I like JJJs offense today. He has good instincts on D but gambles way way too much.

[DUNKS45]

we need to cleanup these turnovers, keep going to the hoop

Nothing ventured Nothing gained is how I look at it.

It is extremely frustrating.  Why not work the clock while going inside out, or passing and cutting, at least trying (with patience) to get open looks?  Waiting til the last 10 seconds, especially w/o Carlino, can't possibly work.

I'd say that was Buzz's coaching philosophy the last half of last year...

So glad derrick doesn't sit. Hate to see us up more than 6 with his 0-6 shooting and 1-4 from the stripe.

[LloydsLegs]

JJJ. Nice.

Three of those shots were good looks, but blocked. A couple were last second heaves. There's more to basketball than scoring points.

[LloydsLegs]

Like Wojo high giving juan there. Funny.

You're right. There is more, you can penetrate for assists as a pg.

Pounding the ball at the top of the key isn't a value add.
