Seton Hall game thread

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Not how I thought we would win but a win nonetheless. They hit a lot of contested threes down the stretch to keep it close.

[real chili 83]

No, and we shouldn't.  But there is a difference between negative comments and repetitive, harping diatribes.

+1

[Newsdreams]

Jamil traveled when he got our last rebound, but was not called!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Other than missing EVERY SINGLE WIDE OPEN 3, I didn't think the second half was that bad.

[Nevada233]

They couldnt miss down the stretch....

3s were raining.....

Good win. Ugly Game. Keep it moving #MU

Nothing new to this team.  Believe SH was 9 for 19 from three.  

MU shot 47%, but had like 10 fewer shots than SH.  

Gardner with 6 points against this weak SH frontline.  His three point attempts were brutal.  One good game, one bad.  One good, one bad.  

Jake had zero points.  Missed all his shots, mainly wide open, but his other phase of games were awesome.

Juan had his first two points in BE play.  

Burton not bashful, but man he has energy and needs to calm down.

Todd wins the game for MU.  

[Texas Western]

or clearly they don't enjoy losing?

No one wants to accept mediocrity

[willie warrior]

Glad we won, but that was pathetic. SHU is clearly a crummy team, and damn near won the game. No secret what they did--packed it in more than any team this year giving nothing inside. De. Wilson our stud PG can't make a FT, can't shoot and can't handle a token press. Jake could not make a shot. Anderson adds nothing.

No secret to beat us--pack it in and take your chances on 3's. Guard Jake/Mayo and let Derrick dribble it around on perimeter.

Guess what--we will have a 50% FT shooting PG with the keys next year.

[Earl Tatum]

What kind of a "Freaking" second half was that. We were so scared to shoot. We we did it looked like s---t
What a team. Worst than Dukiet  and Deane days.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The momentum in this game shifted when the refs awarded a three pointer to Gibbs that was actually after the shot clock. That cut the lead to 6. That doesn't happen and I don't think Hall cuts it as close as they do.

Also, you cut out the three that shouldn't have counted and the last second prayer and we win by 7. Much more respectable

[TJ]

Not when it fouls a player out. Also, with how hot they have been from three, I would have played D and have taken the 13 seconds to get a three

Dumb luck threes against us every damn time.

Can you still call it dumb luck when it happens consistently?  Or is MU just bad at 3 point defense.  I understand today and at XU there were some contested 3's hit, but teams getting hot beyond the arc against us is a pattern, not dumb luck.

It has been that way under different coaching staff and for as long as I can remember. But don't know if it is just them or us.

You couldn't possibly have watched those teams and say this.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Juan had his first two points in BE play.  

Which CO was at least 75% responsible for as he completely sealed off his man and gave Juan an uncontested lane to the basket.

[Earl Tatum]

To Lenny---I watched and we really didn't do well. "Sudden Sam" was the only one. We had some moral victories. Yuk!

[Earl Tatum]

Also saw "Slick Rick"blow the game against North Carolina and Joe Wolf. We had 'em. Compared to Al what can I say. Have been a MU backer for 40 some years. Saw lots of ups and downs. Met Al twice and got to two
senior parties. Henry wasn't that bad either. So I saw good basketball.  Usually team ball. Hate Wisco.

Sorry, but time must have altered some of your memories.  Dukiet teams were simply brutal, and I would much rather have to listen to the constant complaints about Derrick that think about a team led by Jarrod Lovette.

[Dreadman24]

We are not that good. I thought we were gonna be good this year

[tower912]

Jarrod Lovette did not play for Dukiet.   There was no 'Sudden Sam', either.     Powell, Anglavar, Foley, Flory, Grosse, Candelino, Sims, Nethen, Ellenson, Tony Smith....   So bad.  This team finishes 13-5 in league.   No comparison.   Anybody honestly making that comparison has foggy memories or an entitlement complex.   Perhaps a closer comparison would be 03-04, 04-05

[connie]

Jarrod Lovette did not play for Dukiet. 

I know. I was including the Deane years from the comment cited.  Not quite as painful as the Dukiet years, but they brought their own special type of torment.
