St Joseph’s -2.5 per ESPN
It’s a shame that the St Joes game and WBB vs DePaul are at the same time. But given the givens, I’ll either be at Jadwin or watching from home.
The game is being broadcast on something called “Baller TV.” Looks like there’s a $5 charge for the game.
As a matter of principle, I refuse to pay a one-off fee. I’m already paying for a dozen streaming subscriptions and I still have to pay more just to watch an event that was on Peacock and YouTube, respectively, the past two years? Hell no.

At the game. DD not suited up but no boot and seems to be walking normally. Not seeing Happy in warmups.
My feed is terrible; keeps cutting out.
You’re not missing much. Once again, Tigers show flashes of good ball, go up 9 then stop scoring and lose the lead. Pfft…
No Happy, no Davis.
Doing OK w/o them.
Hammond and Whitfield have great form on the shots.
Abdullahi…
Malik on the bench with his ankle wrapped and iced. Ooof.
I missed parts of the broadcast. Anything said about Happy?
Clark having a good shooting game. Also the primary ball handler at times.
Did not like that last play. I like a drive and back-pass to Clark or Whitfield.
Injuries for everyone! Davis out with the ankle. Happy out with illness. Abdullahi injured foot mid-game.
I didn’t watch the game but they did a great job considering they were missing 3 starters.
Another moral victory. Running out of players to field 5 guys on the court.
Although the Tigers had “only” 13 turnovers for the game, they came in bunches and many were completely unforced passes into the crowd. The freshmen are playing like freshmen—flashes of brilliance but tons of mistakes. Sussberg was set up for a wide open corner three with a beautiful no look pass and shot the ball right over the rim at a key moment, repeating McSweeney’s air ball from wide open deep spot in first half. This team could be really good in two years but they are going to take their lumps for a while.

I’m shocked this game was so close with our mountain of injuries.
Despite the horrendous TOs, endless FT misses, freshman 0-fors and total lack of rim protection, they still find a way to keep it close against average-to above-average teams. Maybe they’ll put it all together if/when everyone is healthy in Ivy play. Like Brown did two years ago.

Sat next to a die-hard St. Joes fan who warned before the game that his Hawks were a ragged bunch. They have a lot of size but also showed a lot of rough spots.
Did he insist on telling you the mascot never stops flapping?

I didn’t realize the game was on Sunday, but then I saw that ESPN didn’t have it anyway, so nothing missed. Not so good to have so many injuries and illnesses on a team trying to find cohesion and rhythm, but on the bright side, lots of guys are contributing and the games have mostly been pretty close so far.
I think there is a decent statue hidden in the marble with this group. Just need MH to carve out a stable 8-9 man rotation and keep fighting to overcome the problems with excess turnovers and weak low-post defense.
