Somehow got upgraded from Questionable to Probable to then downgraded to Out in a matter of a few hours

We would be better off if Daly was playing. Bad shooting percentage.

Ummm, no it wouldn’t be.

Ranked #51 in A10 in FG% at only 40.6%

Ranked #51 in A10 in 3PFG% at an atrocious 17.4% hitting only 4-23.

He’s a scorer, a gunner, a ball hog, he is not a shooter.

If I thought Daly was playing I’d have bet twice as much on URI (-12) today than I already did.

Points scored per game is a deceptive number - scoring efficiency is the key.

He’s not the best player on his team by accident (efficiency aside). The other guys on his team would have even worse shooting % if they HAD to take as many shots as him

Daly is clear and away the best player on Joes

DC_Rams · Unread post by **DC_Rams** » 3 years ago

Stats don’t always make a sound argument. Daly is dangerous.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 3 years ago

I’ll take Bishop all day long before Daly.
Not even close.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 3 years ago

He is a terrible shooter.
But he scores a lot of points because he takes a ton of shots.
But most sportswriters and fans love the points per game statistic.

You’re aware we’re talking about St Joes right? Take a look at the stats of the other players on the roster. The hawks aren’t feeding Ryan Daly the ball over Jordan and Lebron. He’s the best shooter they have.

Best scorer
Not the best shooter

28-69 FG = 40.6% 51st in A10
4-23 3FG = 17.4% 51st in A10 (worse than Russell’s 21%)
26-37 FT = 68.4%

Throw any stat you want out there. When I watch St. Joes it's obvious who the best player is

Last season we played them twice. In the first game, Daly dropped 21, 7 rebs, 3 assists. We went down at half but ended up winning by 10. In the second game, Daly didn't play, and we won by 18. Their high scorer had 10 pts.

Wrong. He actually has the highest career FG% of any guard on their roster

Daly - 42.5%
Bishop - 31%
Forrest - 39%
Foster - 25%
Moore - 38.9%
Brown - 40.5%

And to do that at the volume he does for them? Wildly impressive

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 3 years ago

Good then - I’ll bite.
We should demolish St Joe’s today well beyond what I originally thought

Without their best player my 12 points will be “taking candy from a baby”

I just tripled my bet

No wonder St Joes is 0-6

Daly ruled out but Point Spread has stayed at 12.
Easy money.

They may be 0-6 but not exactly a cupcake schedule, only bad loss was to Drexel
Others include Auburn in OT, Kansas, Tennessee, Villanova, and VCU.

We shouldn't take any team lightly and they do play us tough.
We need a convincing win here to boost our confidence.

I'm glad the stupid chicken wasn't allowed to go to the game.

They especially looked good against Auburn. If they make threes they can be difficult.

Fatts I love ya but you’re not ready. Hurting us bad

KingstonLane · Unread post by **KingstonLane** » 3 years ago

I would have loved to see us roll out a small lineup and match Joes here, see what it looks like. This starting lineup feels so rigid.

DC_Rams · Unread post by **DC_Rams** » 3 years ago

Can’t be mad at the looks. Martin has been knocking those 3s down, until today.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 3 years ago

They’re dominating us on offense

Keep letting Fatts take bad 3’s.

We sure can make bad teams look good. Good to see we addressed turnovers.

Agreed these turnovers are beyond painful, but in all reality they’re so bad I’m not even sure how to “coach” them. And it isn’t isolated to one person so not like you can just bench that player either

Our offense is playing well, just not hitting the shots

rhodyruckus · Unread post by **rhodyruckus** » 3 years ago

As expected by everyone except Cox apparently, when Ish comes in good things happen. Yet he seems to only be inserted into the game when we're already behind.

DC_Rams · Unread post by **DC_Rams** » 3 years ago

Guess the missed layup is on coach too...

steveystuds06 · Unread post by **steveystuds06** » 3 years ago

The announcer said it best. "With two of Joes best scorers out, it's totally unacceptable that URI is giving up so many layups."

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 3 years ago

......at what point do the announcers, some fans, etc give up on the reason for the sloppy play etc is all the new players, all the transfer etc have to get used to each other.....game 11, 12,......15..?

And nevermind the fact they've played great team basketball for stretches in the first handful of games. So it's not like they haven't shown what this team is capable of.

KingstonLane · Unread post by **KingstonLane** » 3 years ago

This lineup is intriguing, don’t know that we’ve seen this 5 together for any extended period before now

rhodyruckus · Unread post by **rhodyruckus** » 3 years ago

Like these past 3 possessions, great teamwork and ball movement. Why does it feel like we can only count these possessions on one hand every game?

rhodyruckus · Unread post by **rhodyruckus** » 3 years ago

Betrand!

Keep letting him?
He is a Senior. He should be a leader. Has hit 1 of his last 17 3P attempts.
But he just keeps launching 3’s
Leggett, Johnson, Sheppard and Betrand can all shoot the 3.
Pass to them.
