Pirates in the Hall ThoughtZ™

[RichZ]

1. Oh, no! Pete Gillen? I'm sure the sound will be off before we're ten minutes in.
2. Can either team make a jumper?
3. Martin looks energized.
4. Whaley really off his game. Not handling passes cleanly, out of position for boards, and mistiming his block attempts, without a fake or even a shoulder shiver to get him up early.
5. All of a sudden SH can't miss a three. They went from 0/4 to 4/8 on 4 consecutive shots. Meanwhile, we're 1 for 10.
6. Sanogo is being an absolute monster on the boards. He's the only one keeping us in this thing.
7. At the half, we have 10 offensive boards to Hall's 2.
8. 1 of 10 from three at the half is way beyond bad. It's embarrassing.
9. Halftime. I can't even stand to look at Gillen with the sound off. How is this guy still employed?
10. Early in the 2nd, it's a reversal of late in the first. Now we can make threes, and the Hall can't.
11. Yetna standing up in front of SH bench. Rhoden passes it to him.
12. Coming out of that timeout at 11:30, the Hall played some insane D.
13. So who screwed up more on that inbounding turnover.. Sanogo or Martin?
14. Hall is very good at finding the open man for a three when we double the ball.
15. That shot by Adama with 1:12 left was a classic No No No! YES!!!
16. We're blowing free throws and they're making threes.
17. Thank you Tyler Polley. Those two freebies should seal the W.
18. Sanogo, 20 and 16 with three blocks and 20 cents in dimes. He did have a little trouble with the triple team under the basket. But other than that, he was dominant.
19. Not sure how they got within 10 rebounds of us. We had them by 15 middle of the 2nd half.
20. Also not sure how we ended up shooting a better FG% than them.
21. AJax had 6 assists and only 2 turnovers. He's headed in the right direction in that area. Only attempting 3 shots though -- seems like he's gotten gun shy.
22. Like the St. John's game, it was an ugly game with a beautiful result. But winning ugly is much better than not winning.

Things like that inbounding play are usually the focal point in a loss. But in a win it's so easy to laugh at it. Same bone headed play, totally different perspective.

This game was way more attractive than the St. John's game.

This game was way more attractive than the St. John's game.

Really? Last night, our bench shot 1 for 6. Our starters were 3 for 13 from three. Our point guard had 3 dimes and 3 TOs. We Sanogo and Martin rebounded well. the other 6 guys split up 10 amongst them. We shot 60% from the line. We played ugly, and basically won because we were only called for 9 fouls, and Hall only took 6 foul shots. (compared to 20 FTs on 20 fouls for us.)
But like I said, and ugly win is still a win.
