Next 4
« on: February 27, 2024, 08:14:48 AM »
Coming down to the wire for 2nd place in the BE Reg season.  Really want to claim 2nd to avoid UCONN until the BE final.  Of the 3 of SH, Creighton and MU the Jays have the easiest remaining schedule with their 2 tough games at home.  That said they are 2 back of us in the loss column.  SH plays the Jays tonight.  I assume we are rooting for the Jays.  That would give SH another loss and assuming the lose @UCONN if we just hold serve in the 2 games we'd be favored to win we finish ahead of them.
Thoughts?

Go Hall

We want the 2/3 with Hall.

Send Creighton over to a semi final date with UConn.

One added thought is that playing the Hall at MSG makes it a defacto home game for them.

Not afraid but we are looking at matchups and that should be considered.

Seton Hall doesn’t even have nightly crowds in their actual arena.

Creighton with UConn and Hall with us is objectively a far better outcome

We played Uconn at the Garden last year. It doesn’t get crazier than that.

You ever been to a BET?

Neither have Seton Hall fans. They do not have a significant cheering section at the BET in my experience.

Its a defacto home game for all the East Coast teams; DC and Providence are only a 3hr train ride to NYC.

I think the average fan at the Garden is fickle and Seton Hall benefitted from having NYC-area players having big games that the crowd got behind (Powell).  It doesn't have anything to do with Seton Hall specifically.

If TK has 18 assists and Kam has 30+ points.  Those folks will cheer for us too.

I might eat my words for this come Saturday, but I'd rather play Creighton than a healthy Seton Hall team.

I’m with JayBee.  MU is better than Creighton on a neutral court and Seton Hall on a neutral court.  MU won’t do this but the concern would be coming in fourth and having to face UConn in the semi final.

If the guys can somehow win three of these four games, it is a great end to the season. But, the game at Creighton is going to be a tough one, and the X game in Cincinnati will be a lot more challenging than the game they just played.

The good thing about a 2 or 3 seeds is that its a Thursday evening game. So I'm good with that too.

A significant percent of aholes which makes up for it though. Beating them and seeing their fans dejected while ending their NCAA hopes would be more than worth the cost of the trip for me. Hope we get the chance to do it.

I've been to the BET a few times and would personally label the fanbase hostility as follows:

UCONN
(oceanic gulf)
SJU/Providence
Nova/Seton Hall
Marquette/Creighton
X/Butler/Gtown
(black hole gulf)
DePaul

The Marquette/UCONN semifinal was one of the wildest atmospheres I've ever been in before.
The most satisfying win I'd ever seen in person for MUBB, sending those arrogant pretty boys home with Tyler/Oso/Kam in foul trouble the entirety of the second half.

I'm not thrown off by any opposing fanbase at a BET after that, and I'm sure the guys feel the same way.

I have been to BET a few times also and would agree UConn is #1 most hostile by far.

We should beat Providence at home.

A win over Creighton secures 2nd place and at least gives us a chance to tie UConn.

I'm not worried about the next 4 at all.

By the time you get to Nova, it's less "hostile" and more "supportive".
Nova, Marquette, Creighton, X fans are great on the whole and super supportive.

But man those top 3 (really UCONN and Providence) are absolutely insufferable.
