How do you lead by 9 at halftime shooting 22% from field. Man I am so not looking forward to getting destroyed by Virginia. Never dreamed we shoot worse than last season but the verdict is in and we are guilty. Today's players are so fundamentally poor it is pathetic. We will win easily today but team is poor and many losses await. We currently have zero chance of beating a solid basketball team and spare me the Quinnipiac talk. On a positive note at least we are consistent with are shooting having been in the 20-30 percentile every first half this season. UGLY, UGLY, UGLY

Not watching, but if reports here are accurate La Salle vs. Villanova or Virginia could look like last Sunday Eagles/Green Bay.

Anyone else consider that we're just saving up our made shots for when we really need them?

This driving thing seems to work. Why has no one tried that before?

How many layups and bunnies have we missed today? It's mind boggling.

Roberts has been solid today. Getting a lot of run. This.. He just needed some time to get settled in the run of the game

You assume we should be shooting atleast 42% or something which means, if we take it all back in one game, that's like a 65% showing. Probably beats Virginia or Nova by double digits.

We're not going to shoot below 35% from the field (what we're averaging through 2.5 games) all year. The worst shooting D-1 team last year was New Hampshire at 36.9%. The numbers will regress to the mean and will end up fine.

O/T, mid-thread, but has anyone in the history of the world seen this "Dole pineapple pizza" advertising that only exists in Gola and on these broadcasts, and gone out and bought one?

St. Peters will be shooting the rest of the way only 6 mins into the half with us up 11

Well Price and Roberts have good and consistent release and form.. Garland just didn't and outside of Duren and Mills there wasn't anyone else.. Shuler can make a shot if he actually plays.. DJP if he is left alone

Price/Shuler/Wright/Peterson all with 3 fouls but we've built up a 15 point lead with 12:48 to go

Shuler isn't playing because he has no idea what to do on defense yet.
Explorers with a real nice set there that got Stukes open for a corner three.

I have been calling for more time for Shuler.. But props need to be given to Stukes.. Playing much more under control, and thus making better decisions, compared to Quinnipac

St. Peters just hit their first 3-pt FG with 12 mins to go in the 2nd half. This one feels like had we been playing almost any other team we're putting a 1 in our loss column.
Explorers up 40-27 with 11:48 to go and shooting 1 after the break

And we got in the bonus after Price's nice and-1 take.

Shuler isn't physically ready for this level. He's way too thin.

Post by lwc4591 on Nov 22, 2014 14:07:47 GMT -5
I have seen nothing that leads me to believe Shuler doesn't deserve more playing time other than the lack day game coaching by G.
