KC is an abomination. This reminds me exactly of a Seton Hall team. Cannot move the ball. Cannot set up the post. Dawes still such a frustrating chucker and horrible passer.
Terrible showing. But…I have to say…they very much resemble a Seton Hall team on the offensive side…. Which is not good.
Honestly…Gill looks like he’s definitely added girth…they didn’t seem to try even 1 pick and roll with him…and Dawes looks like he can barely hoist his shots from distance…. Going 0-fer from 3

At the beginning of the game, Seton Hall called a quick time out, after a few minutes ...Gill looked out of breath.
The game brought back a lot of memories...not good ones.

The announcers mentioned several times that when our perimeters players got into the paint they always looked to dump it off for Gil and that was never his strong suit. It failed time and time again.

I think Dawes was 0-10 from 3. 😬

A lot of sloppy play but that’s what everyone should have expected.

I really hope to see Whitehead in our next(last?) game. I’m sure he really hopes to be out there too.

Somehow I can't look away despite knowing it will be more of the same. I guess that's why I'm diehard, but it makes zero sense I am first to admit.
90% of the reason to watch didn’t bother suiting up (IW and Cale.). The only other player worth seeing is Gill and he looked like a rusty big man as expected. Safe to say this is a one and done experience for Hall In

I agree with all that yet I still can't not watch.

This was destined to be a farce once Isaiah was ruled out. Not only was he the guy who put the whole thing together, he would also the only guy on the roster able to score and create for others. He was the only actual PG or Lead Guard on the roster. We got a quick reminder of how awful Dawes is when playing PG.

Gill looked horrendous and was beat time and time again by the unknown big man on Syracuse. Brodie was slightly better but no one on SH could rebound. I was shocked there was only a -3 rebound margin as it seemed Syracuse took offensive rebounds from us whenever they wanted.

The only guy who played well on our end was Terry Roberts. He was the only one who could hit a 3. Thank God for him our we may have lost by 40+.

Our roster really lacked offensive talent and the guys with "defensive" skills got abused. Ndefo played hard but Swider schooled him. Painful to watch KC launching 3's.

It was a bit of a reminder of how good Willard and Sha (and Billemeier) are as coaches. They were able to win a lot of games with guys like Gill, Ndefo and Dawes as important pieces. Ro Gill was a seldom-used backup at a JUCO when Grant found him and turned him into a dominating monster in the Big East as a Senior. Couldn't score a point last night. No one wanted Ndefo out of HS but Sha got him to be 3-time MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and rode him to an Elite 8.

He averaged 7 & 5 as a senior albeit he won most improved and defensive POY. He was never a “dominating monster in the BE”
