Even Parkers minutes were way better. Ball was moving on that second unit.
St. Peter’s Game Thread
- Thread starter MichiganStoleTitle
- Start date
Did a solid job in the areas I wanted to see. Only big negative was the play of Jones and I'm a bit concerned that Copeland smashed his busted fingers again. Other than that, a solid opening game.
You think Brown is struggling defensively? Wasn't part of second unit, never really got into the game flow, and saw Sha having conversations with him again. I expected he could have been a possible starter.
Anderson was filling it up today.
Nice to see a better performance. Also nice to spread the minutes around, although I do think that is “fools gold” when it comes to better competition. But we will see.
Don’t like the idea of Roddie Anderson taking the most shots and being our leading scorer. That can work against the SPU’s of the world.

We had a few very long scoring droughts in the second half. Our offense doesn't flow too well. I hope the coach focuses on the offense in the weeks to come.
Also check the minutes played….who cares about the rebounding leader when no one played more than 20 minutes and 12 guys played at least 10. You love to be negative, but a 24 point win on opening night seems alright to me.Leading rebounder off the bench with 5.FT shooting up to SH standards , which is poor.
But the W gets SH 1 step closer to ….
Who wanted Seton Hall to play FDU? They lost a close one tonight at Illinois, 120-45
Solid effort, good defense, can't play 15 guys every game. St. Peters not great. Copeland, Anderson, Williams, Wilcher and Fisher stood out tonight.
We shall see.

Yes. I thought the O stalled when Parker took the reins in 2nd half.
Sha rested two key offensive guys SW and EF for most of the 2nd half.
I have no issue with Anderson, who is a starter, taking the most shots if he is making them. Like the look of his game. I dont see this team as becoming 1 or 2 player dependent.
I want to see more Jones to see what Sha has been seeing. I assume he is better than he has showed so far. So far I prefer MP by a bunch.
Great game by Payday, and just like vs MU, he made a mistake and hustled downcourt to make a terrific hustle defensive play. Payday will get time.
Fisher looks very good on both sides. Would love to see him, Cope and Devin as the front court sometimes. I see no reason why he cant play some 3.
12 guys played 10 minutes or more. Kinda crazy, all 15 had a rebound.
We lead the BE in Jrs (in name, not class), with 3.
Not good enough but a lot better than many early OOC games. Encouraged.

Pretty much what you got. Statistically a very good effort (shooting percentage, rebound advantage, assists, turnovers not terrible considering substitutions).
Hope Copeland’s finger doesn’t pose an issue. Kid is tough and type personality that might pull a Ronnie Lott if it does….
Del Jones is concerning but other than that, don’t want to go overboard either way projecting individual performances.
Good job students. Hope to see you at all the games. Excellent!!
Probably. He had really poor defensive metrics last year and he can really shoot but Sha probably not trusting him defensively. Hope he picks it up, we'll need his shooting for sure.
Anderson started 5 games on a bad Xavier team last year; otherwise he was a bench contributor who averaged almost 11 per on a team that could score.
No problem with him being involved in the offense moreso than others. I just don’t think he’s the guy who should be leading us in shots and points in any game. Not with all the offense-first guys Sha brought in the door. It can work against these low major cupcakes, but not sure that will translate to real opponents, game in, game out.
SHU scored the least points than any BE team last night— 66.
SHU gave up the least points of any BE team last night— 42.
Some things never change.

They took care of business. Much better than the Monmouth game.
Jones at the point is scary. You can also see there’s more balance of playmakers and scorers than last year. Defensive intensity looked like last year to me, which is good.
Man does Sha play slow tempo, whew.

In a few yrs we will realize that Sha's words are for an effect not limited to telling us what is happening lol.
Peteovic deserves more minutes after tonight !
Never pay much attention to any coaches preseason comments especially when we have little visibility….like Veer Singh possibly starting over Desi…lol
This will be a repeat of previous years. Nobody should be overly excited. We will struggle on offense. Youll see 1 on 1 play. This year we dont have a point guard and season already started. When copeland gets in foul trouble theres nobody to fill in. This is not an ncaa tournament team. Not even close. Expecting bottom half finish in conference.
I think you are being way too negative this early in the season and from what I saw last night there is much to be excited about!
Zendon Hamilton said they’ll win 2 or 3 games in the NCAA!
Curious how many of our active posters on here know Big Z or recall his playing days.
Let me be the first to say seeing Payday Moore play for the first time I was impressed by his hustle and I thought overall for a freshman his debut was great! Showed lots a promise!
Payday really brought strong energy, hustling, hitting the floor and being a pest defensively. He had that beautiful chase-down block from behind which he also did vs Monmouth. Plus, he hit his shots including a corner 3. Strong debut for the kid.
He also gushed about Copeland, constantly calling him a Beast. And his other favorite phrase was, "there's money in the corners".
I don't think Anderson got the most shots by design, I just think he's the most aggressive, knows how to play offense and has traits and skills instilled in him to be decisive and catch-and-go.
Xavier was a strong offensive team last year that played at a fast pace and he was second on that team in Shot% (12th in the BE). He's a high usage, high energy player, the challenge is for him to be efficient - something he has not been throughout his career.
He's the only player on our roster that averaged double-figures in a Power Conference so I think he'll be a top 3 scorer for us, along with Wilcher and Copeland. Our issue is I don't think there is a 14-15 point per game player on this roster, at least not in Sha's offense.
You are not the first. Yes, loved his fame last night on both ends. Loved his hustle for that block, and he did the same thing vs Monmouth, made a bad play on O, busted his tail back to get a stop.
Liked the quick hitter to him. One pass up the court quick 3 and the foul.
That may have been the quickest shot in years.
Yes though we always had a better chance with Felipe, at least that's my recall reading the tea leaves back then.
I thought Zendon was Cuse bound if he didn't stay home. Perfect for that Boeheim 2-3 zone and offensive scheme.
