We’ve got to stop chucking 3s

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

Yikes

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

At least the fouls are down for URI.

Nice tip by Jermaine Harris!

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

See Jermaine. Stay down there.

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

URI was never going to win this game by 15+. Good to be up. Get back to playing your game

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

Back to reality. It's OK, glad to have the lead at the half.

rhodyfan3000 · Unread post by **rhodyfan3000** » 3 years ago

My days of general basketball knowledge may be behind me, but I'm guessing that when you can't hit a free throw, you probably shouldn't be chucking it up from three point land either.

key stat: 0-5 (combined, DJ and Harris? from 3)

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

If any of you thought we were going to blow the doors off of SHU, you weren’t being realistic. It’s a game of runs, and this isn’t an NAIA school.

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

A lapse, but overall solid half.

One of DJ’s 3’s were as shot clock was expiring...he is a rhythm spot up shooter. One he’s sees one fall...uh oh.

Jermaine can shoot, he’s just having a hard time proving it.

Jermaine Harris now 4-41 from 3 in his URI career. 9%

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

SHU is a team on MONSTARS.

DJ is such a good 3 point shooter that the defense will not let him get an easy look.

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

I wanna see more Sheppard 3's.

rhodyfan3000 · Unread post by **rhodyfan3000** » 3 years ago

I'm guessing "Hey, Jermaine, you were complaining about your bum foot this week, so feel free to let loose from outside to showcase your fantastic skills" wasn't part of the pre game strategy meet this week.

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

On a positive note. Leggett can play

Jersey77 · Unread post by **Jersey77** » 3 years ago

In both Seton Hall's earlier games they started out every slow and then came back strong. We need to withstand their charge and play up-tempo, we will struggle in a half court game with them. I hope Carey's injury isn't serious, has anyone heard? We may end up having to activate Tres Berry for depth if he is out for awhile.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 3 years ago

Gotta try giving Fatts some help down low where he is over matched on defense. Also would like to see someone on the foul line when playing against the zone.
Carey must have been injured during practice since he looked good vs SF the other day.

I expected more from Sheppard than I've seen so far.

I think he’s been fine. 2 “3s” with his foot on the line, bummer. Scoring has been well distributed

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

IMO, Harris doesn’t have the mechanics to shoot threes. I don’t like the release.
When Seton Hall plays man to man, they overplay a lot. Rhody needs to look for back cuts.

......wonder if Coach, teaches/drills that....?

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

Similar to the game against them in 2017. Got off to a lead early and had to battle it out in the second half.

Jersey77 · Unread post by **Jersey77** » 3 years ago

Mamu is a tough match-up, at 6'11" he is very strong and can really stroke it from outside.

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

Seton Hall just walk around while setting screens. You’d think the refs would notice this at some point

The only problem I see with that, is I get the feeling that it isn't just about "runs" for Seton Hall, per se. Rather, they are systematically figuring URI out:

This works against Rhode Island
That doesn't work against Rhode Island
This was successful against them
That wasn't successful against them
This had a big impact against them in the first half, let's do more of that
That was awful in the first half, let's avoid that

So those "runs" are going to start happening more frequently as they solve the rubic's cube. You know they want to see more of that Harris three ball in the second half if they can somehow force that one.

What's our strategy?

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

Guess we are back to missing free throws

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

Why the hell can’t we guard the perimeter?

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

Guard that big soviet bastard!

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

They are guarding him. He can’t miss.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 3 years ago

Can't let the big guy get open. Let someone else be the guy to beat us.

Then why is he getting so many open looks?

3000, I haven’t seen a good basketball game this season that didn’t consist of a huge run. It happens. If we were down, like vs ASU, I fully suspect we’d do the same. It’s the nature of the beast.

How many times did Sheppard get hit on that break?

No fuckin way thats an AND 1 for them

Looked like zero to me. Heard foot steps and just missed bad.

He got hit at least twice going up court.

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

Wonder if the game plan was try and create more shots because of their length inside? Otherwise just strange how little our guards are attacking the rim

If we have to go shot for shot with them then yikes.
