Big East OOC thread '25/'26

[RuffRuff]

It's bizarre. He was around the 50th best recruit in the country, played at Montverde, and he's their best athlete.

I think we were in on him for a bit too. Could you imagine Hurley recruiting a kid to redshirt him. None of it makes sense, has to be more to the story.

Hall putting a hurting on ranked NCSt - consider me surprised. I may have prematurely doubted some of these back end teams like SHU & Butler.

There will be a lot of year to year volatility in the transfer portal era.

 

[RuffRuff]

Creighton is ok. Bubble caliber team.

They feel like they are about to get run - scraping enough just to hang in there.

 

[superjohn]

even with McAndrew healthy McDermott should have been able to find minutes for him

Have you watched much of the game?

Looking at the boxscore Owen Freeman is doing nothing. I'm surprised they haven't been able to get him going. Zugic has been a bust, he had a lot of hype when Creighton got him.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Just turned the Hall on they look good!

The defense is suffocating. Holloway is an amazing defensive coach. He could teach me to be a good defender. Well, maybe he’s not that good, but he is good.

Dug themselves too big a hole. Good effort though.

We were mentioned a little with Austin Swartz as well coming out of high school. Another kid ranked around 50th. One year at Miami and now at Creighton, he stinks.

The Greer thing makes no sense, he's clearly a player.

Creighton no Kalk, stinks. This new center has nothing. They're getting outrebounded 44-25, can't get a defensive rebound in this one.

They don't stink. They would actually probably be pretty good if they had McAndrew and if McDermott wasn't planning on redshirting Greer.

Baylor traveled 4 times on the last possession. Call something. Even the Baylor player with the ball thought he traveled as he crossed halfcourt.

alot of ORebs given up by Creighton that wouldn't have happened with Kalbrenner, get a stop in a 1 possession game and give up the offensive putback to push it back to 5

 

[aceboon]

now will SH be able to hang on once the game pressure gets ramped up

Did Owen Freeman get hurt? He had 4 points and 1 rebound today on 4 shots. Didn't commit a foul.

Greer led them in scoring with 16 on 7/8 shooting.

SH has answered every NC State run

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Hall is embarrassing Will Wade in Maui. Dunking all over NC State.

 

[KingAG]

Seton Hall…..

 

[MJKI]

Hall is punking Will Wade. The 38 team ACC looks like a 4 team max bid

not sure, haven't seen him much, Creighton either went smaller or when they did go back bigger it was with Traudt at center. Freeman was standing up in huddles without warmups on so not sure if it was an injury or not

 

[superjohn]

Seton Hall has some athletes. I don't really know any of these kids and Elijah Fisher is the only kid on the roster who was ever ranked in the top 100 but they are contesting everything.

From scrolling through Twitter it seems like an effort/defense thing

 

[alexd]

Seton Hall is currently blowing out NC State.

Shhhhhh.

Yeah they do - shockingly. Newark will be a problem.

 

[REB1094]

Damn Seton Hall. Huge win and very impressive. 85 points is tied for the most they scored in any game last year

 

[alexd]

We hate Newark.

 

[3rdbass]

Wow Seton Hall is the first unranked team to win this year over a ranked team. It was 96-0 before. Congrats to Seton Hall. Seems like some teams we thought werent going to be good are pretty decent.
