Hall Pass

[Elonsmusk]

Game never felt in doubt against a Big East opponent, I'll take that any day of the week. Not the prettiest, but got the job done.

Very true...and Seton Hall and their "bigs" were thought to be a bad matchup for us by some.  We got jobbed in Providence and should be 3-0 in Big East.  We most definitely will finish top 4 in the league, and I think we probably end up 2nd.

[MUBBau]

Felt like I was the only one boo-ing Mamu when they showed him on the big screen, that shouldn't have been the case.

I did enjoy that they only named his high school and the Bucks when they announced him in attendance.

Depth was a problem

!!!!!!!!!!

Starters outscored them by a lot. OMax out for second foul...9-0 run. OMax and Oso out with 3:45 left in half and 14 down to 4 in a blink before Joplin desperation 3 at the horn. Late 19 pt lead down to 10 when starters out. The +/- for this game have to be extreme.

Overall, solid performance after the break and some great play by the core guys. Nice to have Sean Jones see a few go down just when it seemed he may be getting frustrated by not finishing several times in a row.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Was at the game, and I did feel like during timeouts he was over getting on their case quite a bit more than usual.

Shaka needs to learn how to get up the ass of the referees more often. And the Big East needs to get better referees.

This is a good team. Let's park in February / March.

He is "elite" at saying "I'll tell you what..."

[CTWarrior]

Sean Jones going for a turkey?? Loved it.

He was dreadful all night until he hit those three.  Love his confidence.

It's a bad win that will cost us seeding if Seton Hall loses anymore games

[ATWizJr]

VS UCONN it could be a real prob.

that and the ft delta.

Ha - you're right. Everything is effin' "elite" with him!

Please don't get an ulcer over it.

What makes a scoop thread elite?  Tangents?  Unhinged raving?  Accusations of inadequate fanhood?   Alcohol?

Stevie Mitchell had a really good game. Took their best offensive player out of the game for long stretches. While he is not a great offensive threat, he is an amazing defensive player. I previously thought Mitchell was in danger of losing some minutes to Chase Ross if he could not score a bit more. Now, I do not think so at all. What he does defensively is too valuable. And he does seem to be thinking about scoring a bit more recently.

[tower912]

He did.  He was mentioned for SOTG for the job he did on defense.  That is valid.

Good thing Shaka and the staff have known this all along.  Scoop was wanting his minutes cut and given elsewhere.

Stevie or Chase needs to be on the floor at all times in a tight game. Their defense is a game changer as compared to the other guards on the floor.

Right now our entire starting 5 needs to be on the floor at all times during a tight game. Forget about Gold or Joplin for the time being. Chase and Sean have their moments and will both be very good but they're not ready for prime time just yet. I could see subbing them in for an offense/defense situation, but only then.

[NCMUFan]

Again, Shaka is best to determine who should be on the floor at any given time.

No, he isn't.  He wasn't around in '77

Bardo was also not happy with the refereeing from the Providence game and made sure to work in his game call.

When the old guys start remembering their room numbers in Schroeder Hall, then it's truly elite.
