Big East January '26 Thread - Take Two

[aceboon]

Seton Hall also a 2H comeback team. They rarely go into the break up.

I trust StJ at home more than I do SH but I would love to be wrong, we need a StJ loss for some breathing room at the top of the conference

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Butler is playing like garbage, but Depaul makes so many what-the-fudge mistakes that I don't see them beating anyone semi-good.

 

[aceboon]

This looks like the Seton Hall from the non conference portion of the schedule

 

[auror]

St. John's has Seton Hall right where they went them this half. Seton Hall likely won't press if they're up 13. They're 5/9 from 3, you know they're clanking a couple down the stretch here. Odds of a St. John's comeback: HIGH.

 

[Gurleyman]

Here comes the Hall unraveling. Throwing it to refs, chunking layups. Knew it was coming.

 

[blkknight1]

Nothing coming easy on either end for either team

 

[aceboon]

Rivera plays basketball like the football walk-on added for depth after football season is over. Seton Hall has gotta keep this lead at dbl digits at the 8 minute mark but they're now a mess at the offensive end and the fouls are racking up on the other end

 

[Tyler2Rings]

St Johns refusing to seize momentum

 

[alexd]

I turned it on 16:00. It's now the 12:00 mark. It's been nothing but missed layups, missed FT's and turnovers. Just ugly.

 

[blkknight1]

I don't understand it odd man rush and guy with the ball refuses to pass it for an easy basket. See it every game multiple times a game

 

[housekeys]

Human bowling pins.

 

[aceboon]

SH fell apart fast

 

[housekeys]

Great game between the Seton Hall "shirt grabbers" and the St Johns "body bumpers". Or vice versa?

Also St. John's is in the bonus with 10 minutes to go.

I thought UConn missed alot of layups, Seton Hall is something else, they've left at least a dozen points on the table

 

[Gurleyman]

Seton Hall got so soft right when they needed to be tough. This isn’t even the good St. John’s lineup. This is Darling, Prey, Sanon and Mitchell.

 

[blkknight1]

Can't buy a bucket

 

[auror]

Every time I watch Dillon Mitchell he looks like an NBA player who got added onto a college team.

 

[aceboon]

This rebounding by Seton Hall...

 

[gsmooth]

For ff uu cc kk sakesS, Seton Hall, it's a basketball, not a grenade. Grab it.

 

[SwingDog]

If Seton Hall loses it's because they can't make free throws. They've left a lot of points on the table. They have made the Red Storm play their game, got them in foul trouble, kept the score low, but they have to convert.

St. John's takes the lead, predictably.

Seton Hall should've started pressing when they were up 7 lol.

 

[blkknight1]

Is the hall allergic to the ball or something

 

[aceboon]

Seton Hall went up 15 and then responded with one of the worst 10 minute stretches of basketball I've ever seen. Can't make layups, can't make FTs, can't grab defensive rebounds, multiple careless turnovers, and non-stop hacking on defense to put St Johns in the bonus early.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Darling left so early on the missed free throw, I think the refs were just not looking for it.
