Chip a wa-y to win

[Uncle Rico]

Holloway just took down N.C.State,ranked 23rd, with a crew of transfers who could shoot.
Seemed to me that everyone on the court came from somewhere.  Some even at their third school.

No need to debate, the numbers will reveal the new reality. The Hall looks like no.3 in the beast.

How did Holloway do it????

I'll take this bet. 

Seton Hall's real shooting % is 236th in the nation, including today.  They're 195th in 3 point shooting.  They're 255th in 2 point shooting.

Going back to St. Peter's, his best 3 point shooting team was 111th.  His best offense has been 70th in KenPom.

His highest usage guy currently, shot 29% from 3 last year at Merrimack.  Elijah Fisher shot 31% from 3 at Pacific.  Their current best 3 point shooter shot 26% from 3 at Elon last year.  AJ Staton-McCrary shot 41% from 3 at Samford 2 years ago, went to Miami and shot 31% against better competition. They also added Mike Williams who shot 37% from 3 2 years ago and plummeted to 25% last year.

There will be plenty of teams with transfers that will finish in last place in multiple conferences. 

It will be pointed out in a sarcastic way that because of this the portal is not a panacea.  And there will be inside jokes and laughter.

But, what goes unspoken, is that it is always about player evaluation for fit and talent.  These people know this but will continue the jokes about bad teams with portal players.

Whether you recruit only freshman or only portal players the same evaluation for fit and talent applies. 

Closing the door on a major way of player procurement seems unnecessarily burdensome to logical people.  Perhaps they are the ones that should be snickering and not the other way around.

The facts are our coach doesn't want to use the portal.  So we all have to accept if for now.  But making fun of portal use on other teams, good or bad, is silly.

Very impressive win, but my Gawd you are assuming a lot! Did Seton Hall's upsets of UCONN last season immediately make them a highly ranked team or earn an invite to the Big Dance?

Your "no need to debate" is classic Muggsyian absolutism. 

Could Seton Hall be the biggest surprise in The BE this year? Sure. But this one game conclusion that there is no need to debate is ridiculous.

Not an absolute

For now.  But agreed not an absolute

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Well, he did. God, you're such a baby. And yes, he re-recruited him.

And sure, I'll give him all the credit for developing him. The larger point is he hasn't recruited anyone near his skill level since.

When you inherit something, it's yours.  Having to re-recruit someone is not equivalent to inheriting a player.  A high percentage of players leave when there is a coaching change. 

I'm not a baby, you were just wrong.

I'm 100% certain that you haven't seen enough of either Seton Hall or the other 10 Big East teams to know what you're talking about here.
