Last 4 minutes of SHU vs Providence, close game, Whitehead flat out ignored even looking to pass the ball to an open Gibbs on two straight possessions, who was wide open at three point line......first one was a turnover on a forced pass out of bounds in traffic.....the next one, Whitehead forced up a 3 and made it while SHU was down 9....the third time Whitehead ignored him, Gibbs didn't even look at Whitehead during a late timeout.....on the 4th potential time, when game was pretty much over but still a slight chance (down 6 with 20 secs left), Gibbs then ignored Whitehead wide open to his right, with space near the 3 point line, where Gibbs forced a pass to his left to Manga, a player who cannot shoot or score from 3.....
Providence missed about 20 chippies from 6 feet in and was an ugly game overall, but with better chemistry, as bad as PC played this was a game Seton Hall could have stolen if not for this bad mix of players......Can't see Gibbs staying after this year, this was a game that could've gotten SHU back on track, after a bad week press wise, but these two kids clearly don't appear to want to help each other and their season which could've easily should have been an NCAA bid in a relatively balanced but not overwhelming Big East, goes down the proverbial drain (barring a Big East tourney win)......
This is pretty common on a lot of teams around the country with personnel conflicts, but this one was as blatant and obvious because you have two high level guards that could dominate in this league, seemingly self destruct.....SHU defense was clearly better most of the game without Sina as well.
