Seton Hall game thread

[chapman]

I really wish I was in the locker room at halftime.  The postgame interview will hopefully be fascinating enough.

That Seton Hall arena looks really solid

The Prudential Center is indeed a nice arena.  Nice arena, location that should be advantageous for recruiting (not Newark, but NY metro area), SHU's investment is middle of the pack BE...they really should be better than this.

[Newsdreams]

We are getting really lazy these last two minutes

Have to make it interesting!

[nyg]

J. Wilson just did a brain fart.  Couldn't pass in, so he gave it to SH guy and then fouled him.  My goodness.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Do we get on SportsCenter tonight?

No.

[Golden Avalanche]

Are you honestly going to say we can't win on the road?   Or contend for the title?

My point, if people can learn to read in context, is that you can't consider them a title contender if they play badly like the first half. Or like the first half in Cincy. Or like the entire games in Gainesville or Green Bay. Or like the last 15 minutes of Ville and Georgetown.

Five of their six losses are down to very bad road performances. Why is it such a shock to be wary of their credentials?

[warriorstrack]

 

No.

ARRRRRRRRRRH

Hey, my I pad corrected the line above to what you see.  Must be in pirate mode tonight.

GB was bad.   Conference road losses happen.   Protect home court, squeeze out .500 on the road, contend for a title.   Yes, MU has had some brutal stretches on the road.   After today, they are 3-3 on the road in conference.    And contending for a title.  

[RushmoreAcademy]

Don't worry... we'll make it to Sportscenter one day....

... sure we will Mr. Homer, sure we will. *cough* *cough*

[Aughnanure]

See, this is the problem: it's hardly a condemnation to say this team needs to tighten up its game if it wants to win on the road.

Unless, of course, you considered that half well played.

First off, you said it makes you laugh at the thought of competing for the Big East conference title. This says, to me, you don't watch a lot of Big East basketball. How many teams really play 2 or even 3 good halves in a row? Be honest. Especially on the road. Basketball is a game of stunning inconsistency, momentum, and luck (home field advantage). Only the absolute best teams put together games like that consistently, if at all. And if you hadn't noticed, even they aren't with so many top 5 teams losing.

But good teams win these games. Just like we did, or Kansas has, or Butler has, or Miami has.

No mayo the entire 2nd Half?? That's curious.

[tower912]

Should have played better in the first half.

[nyg]

yes, not one minute.  He had a very poor first half and at one point Buzz was in his face.

Anderson played like two minutes in second half.  

[tower912]

40-19 second half run.    What good teams do to bad teams at their place.

SOTG = OX

[warriorstrack]

Number 1 in Big East book it Dano

[RushmoreAcademy]

Should have played better in the first half.

Flood took their minutes.

[chapman]

Should have played better in the first half.

+1.

Hey, another 24 hours alone in first until Cuse and GT win their home gimmes.

[martyconlonontherun]

I never understood why coaches don't put in subs earlier. Up 20+, there is no reason to still have the ox in their with less than a minute left. Call it a game and clear the benches.

[MarquetteDano]

Number 1 in Big East book it Dano

Um... okay, I'll book it.

Use the entire quote. I wrote "if they play this badly on the road" as well as the bolded during the first half. Don't be lazy and leave out the main point of my statement.  

And, you strangely referenced a Kansas team that owns arguably the worst conference road loss of any program this season.

It doesn't matter you're still wrong. And watching college basketball makes you realize how many teams are like Marquette and play Dr. Jerkyll vs Mr. Hyde every game.We are not  great team. But we are a good team that wins the games it should. Besides GB, there is not a bad loss on this team. We have won the games we're supposed at a remarkable rate lately and the 23 straight home wins speaks for itself.

I;m more annoyed with the idea that every other BEAST team must be playing "such consistent basketball that we can't hope to compete with them' insinuation. They're not. Every team is beatable every game.

Yeah...and that's the Kansas that will win its ninth straight conference title. You think TCU is the only bad loss they've ever suffered in conference play? Jeez.

Keep passing that second level and head on down to the third level. No wonder humanity is doomed.
