Arcidiacono slips and then air balls a 3. Hall wins 69-67.

We would've been called for 3 fouls on that Nova possession. Congrats to SHU though, deserved it.

Nova just blew their #1 seed.

It doesn't really matter. It's March. And the NBE has never beaten a single digit seed in the NCAA tourney despite having 1,2,3 & 4 seeds over the past 2 seasons.

 

[Kitaman]

Was Hall expected to be in the Tourney or did they take a bubble slot.

 

[nomar]

I mean, congrats to Seton Hall, but saying this is their first "Big East Championship" in 23 years is an insult to that 1993 team.

Pretty sure they were a lock.

They were a solid lock, not just an "Eamonn Brennan" opinion lock. So no,just move up a seed line or two.

I think they were in regardless if they lost the first game

 

[superjohn]

Hall is like a #5 seed. They knocked off Xavier twice in the past few weeks and knocked off nova, they are 25-8.

 

[Kitaman]

Its good to hear them making noise. They have been a forgotten BE club.

 

[FDNY99]

Someone needs to tell Val Ackerman that the BE she is in charge of isn't the one that has "34 years of basketball history". I think I finally watched someone who is worse at the mic and a bigger embarrassment to the conference they run than John Marinatto. How fitting that conference has the same name...The Big East

Great. One more coach and team that will reference Kemba and Co march to the final. Willard, "UConn did it, why not us?".

Well, they paid all that money so they could say things like that. So she'd be an idiot not to say it.

Meanwhile, the Providence team fans have been waiting decades for....

 

[JSM1970]

Mike Tranghese is the worst commissioner in the history of sports. When the writing was in the wall to build strong football-based conferences he focused around hoops

He was/is an idiot

Was really hoping Nova would be the 1 seed in our bracket.

Marinatto was worse...way worse.

Hope for that 7-10 game with Nova as the 2 seed.

 

[JSM1970]

No way, he had to deal with the fallout from Tranghese's failures. Like blaming the financial crisis on Bush when it was largely a buildup of 90s policies.

that would work, in Providence

Yeah well Mike T was LONG gone when he turned down that ESPN deal, and didn't think history would repeat itself...I'm gonna agree to disagree with you on this one.

 

[JSM1970]

He's such a huge failure. He had the chance to build the BE in to a strong, viable league. He failed. He was either dumb or influenced or both. John M was dealing with scraps, no one could have saved that from its eventuality.

If I met Tranghese personally I would honestly tell him he's a failure and an idiot. I feel that strongly about his incompetence.

He sent roses to fuquing Beebe! FLIPPING ROSES! Because the Big 12 stayed together. Marinatto was the dumbest man in the history of college sports. He was celebrating the demise of his own conference and he didn't even know it. The level of pure ignorance involved is mind boggling.

 

[JSM1970]

Tranghese could have dealt from a position of strength, Marinatto never had a chance.

Tranghese controlled his own destiny, Marinatto never did. Both were bad.

I hope the Seton Hall game ignites Gibbs. They have seemed to do better without him thus far. Lets go and get a championship for UCONN then win six more!!!!
