I had previously said that I love this game and the idea of sweeping Seton Hall this season.

I liked their B2b versus the Johnnie and the 430 weekday start time hoping for a dopey crowd in Joisey due to gym, tan, laundry.

Well that’s changed now thanks to the cancellation of the pup show- unless someone made that up as the reason for the start time change.

Now we will likely/surely be ranked and that crowd will be raucous. I had it as one of the “easiest” of games in the 6 game gauntlet but I think with these recent changes it’ll be much tougher.

I still love the idea of sweeping Seton Hall this season!!

Asked Sandro Mamukelashvili if he and Wesley Matthews have a friendly wager on the #mubb-Seton Hall rematch.  He opened with (mischievous glint in eye): "Of course we do. First of all, Seton Hall got cheated at Marquette. That was not a foul. That was definitely not a foul."

He later added: "I'm sure we're going to go out there and show Marquette what's up. I feel like Seton Hall PR group will kill me for being so honest, but I think Seton Hall is a so much better team than Marquette and we're coming for them and we're going to get this dub."

The bet, according to Mamu: If Seton Hall wins, then Wes has to buy some luxury shoes and give Mamu a  signed jersey. If #mubb wins, Sandro has to do whatever Wes wants. Probably more rookie duties.

Maybe that is true but we’ll be solid underdogs if Aiken plays. Might be underdogs even if he sits. One game doesn’t make them an inferior team. MU was lucky (in the sense that it could have gone either way) to beat SHU at home last weekend.

If Aiken plays I’d guess our streak comes to an end. If he doesn’t then I think we wear them down and get the W.

That justification might work if the Prudential Center wasn’t such a cavernous dump for SHU games.  They’ve historically averaged less than 8K fans for an arena that seats 18K+.  I’ve been to 3 MU games there and 2 of 3 times huge sections were tarped off.  It’s not like it’s a tremendous home court advantage.

I’d rather play SJU at MSG 10 out of 10 times over Carnesecca.  Willard being unable to coax a home court advantage out of their own HS gym is his own fault

I missed the beginning of the game so the reason he was out may have been explained then. Help me out here please.

Anyone else here suspect that maybe there were (hopefully still are) internal conflicts within the SH team? I do not think the absence of Aiken is nearly enough to account for last night. I'm not trying to take anything away from St. Johns' performance, but for SH to fall behind by 27 at one point late in a home game makes me think there's more to this fiasco than just a really bad night.

Does everyone realize that Seton Hall beat SJU just 2 days prior to this blowout without Aiken?

Yes, this was a terrible game but more than likely just a one off.  If they are good enough to beat this Johnnies team by 6 on the road, they are certainly capable of bouncing back and beating us at the Prudential Center tomorrow.

Agree. Still waiting for someone to explain why Aiken is out since I missed it whenever it was revealed.

We will be dealing with a wounded bear tomorrow so yes, being overconfident is unwarranted.

I DID see that post on Scoop but I honestly thought that it was supposed to be in teal.  ;D

All the more reason for Williard and his team to be playing super pissed. First the foul that cost them the game (please, please-nobody reopen the foul discussion, OK?) and then the concussion.

That justification might work if the Prudential Center wasn’t such a cavernous dump for SHU games.  They’ve historically averaged less than 8K fans for an arena that seats 18K+.  I’ve been to 3 MU games there and 2 of 3 times huge sections were tarped off.  It’s not like it’s a tremendous home court advantage.

I’d rather play SJU at MSG 10 out of 10 times over Carnesecca.  Willard being unable to coax a home court advantage out of their own HS gym is his own fault

For the most part what you say is true. I have been to every MU game at the Rock since 2012. We have always managed to get seats 5-10 rows up from the team. This year seats were only available in the mezzanine section and with a scheduled 5pm start we decided to skip this season. The last 2 games (2019, 2020) I attended they have opened up the upper deck, though the sections behind the basket were tarped off. The atmosphere was pretty electric. Say what you will about Willard, he has brought that program back to life. I expect a tough crowd at Wednesday's game cheering on their Pirates, especially now that we are ranked and have that bulls eye on our backs. Hope we pull out a win as it has been 4 years since we won there.

I missed the beginning of the game so the reason he was out may have been explained then. Help me out here please.

Anyone else here suspect that maybe there were (hopefully still are) internal conflicts within the SH team? I do not think the absence of Aiken is nearly enough to account for last night. I'm not trying to take anything away from St. Johns' performance, but for SH to fall behind by 27 at one point late in a home game makes me think there's more to this fiasco than just a really bad night.
Providence fell behind MU by 39.  I don’t believe that was anything more than just a really bad night.   It happens.

They have also had the easiest schedule in the Big East this far so it could be that they're not all they're cracked up to be.

Both certainly can be true.

Sometimes that snowball just gets rolling downhill and there's no way to stop it or get out of the way. Even good teams get blown out occasionally.

But yeah, I don't think The Provi is a great team, either. Looking forward to our guys dunkin' on 'em at the Dunk.

Would be lovely to beat Hall on Wednesday and take them off the bubble

They'd still be in the field with a loss because those last 6 teams are truly terrible, but the two marquee non-con wins that convinced everyone they were a Big East contender (Michigan and Texas) are aging like milk outside in August.

After us, they get a break in Georgetown, but then Creighton, Xavier, Nova, and UConn. This is an important stretch for them.

I've watched Seton Hall a handful of times this year and he played by far the most minutes in the game against Marquette.  A lot of the games I've watched he is hardly on the court.  I don't think he does well with extended minutes, but was able to push through against Marquette for a season high 37 minutes.  I think the game plan will be simple.  Try to pull him away from the rim and use Kur and Oso's ability to move around.  Finish strong at the rim and use pump fakes to get him in foul trouble.  I expect a good dose of zone from the Hall as well to try and keep Obiagu from having to move around.

This will be a big test for Marquette playing on the road against a veteran team that just got spanked.  Gonna be difficult, but this team is up for a fight!

Oh, he's definitely a snake but with that said, I do not blame any coach for keeping the opponent guessing until game time and thus having them need to prepare for either scenario.

If Aiken shows up tonight in uniform, security should frisk him to find out if he has a biily club concealed inside his shorts in an interior pocket.

As others have said I think every coach would keep it quiet and it might even be a down to the wire clearance anyways.

But if he were being a total snake in this scenario, it would point to Aiken not playing.

He's questionable not doubtful. I'd almost guarantee he plays. If you didn't know, he has missed the last week with what they were saying was a concussion from the Marquette game. I don't know about all of you, but I saw him play the whole game with no issues. Seems like Seton Hall is really trying to play the victim card with how the game ended in Milwaukee.

I actually hope he plays. Stevie has earned minutes defensively and we can also wear him out with Darryl, Kam, Kolek as well. I'm more worried about their size and the fact that the Hall is playing for their season at this point.

I still like our chances given the depth we have.

He got the concussion with two seconds left in the game.   Perhaps you recall that there was a kerfuffle regarding the last play .

He didnt have a concussion the whole game, or any of the game. It came on after due to what happen with 1.8 seconds left.

Head injuries are nothing to mess with, but Aiken has a multitude of other injuries he deals with and seemed like a convenient time for the Hall to give him some time off for general rest.

I don't think the injury is in question. I think there's a question of whether or not Greg's elbow was the cause of the injury. Personally, the only place I have seen that claimed was on this board. I honestly assumed that it was a joke but people seem to be alluding that this has been claimed by Willard at some point. If Willard did claim that, I think GE03 is positing that maybe Willard is blaming Greg's elbow when it was something else so they can play the victim card.

This is exactly it. Thanks for the Kolek-like assist in clearing that up.  Sure he may have gotten a concussion, but I have a hard time believing it was from Greg at the end of the game. If this happened in March I think Aiken finds a way to get cleared without missing any games. Seton Hall wants the end of last game to be the storyline going into this one, I'm almost sure of it.

Aiken's concussion as the result of Greg's elbow has been mentioned on Twitter by multiple sources.  For instance...

Whether or not they are accurate is another question.
