Big East OOC thread '25/'26

Terrible end to the half for Seton Hall. Rodney Rice went crazy and scored 13 in a row. Budd Clark got called for his third foul with 41 second left and USC hit a shot at the buzzer. Hall only up 4 at the break.

I get Holloway's thinking leaving Clark in with 2 fouls to maintain the lead and carry momentum into the half but it backfired on him, SH still fell apart the last 3 minutes or so and Clark ended up getting his 3rd anyway.

I didn't see that Hurley 2 beat Sean Miller last night. This field is WIDE open for the Hall, lol.

One of the strange rumors I heard was that Sha had a decent NIL this year but didn't spend all of it. No idea if he was banking or just liked the guys he got for less, but a strange rumor nonetheless.

Have heard similar. That there have been issues with the value he puts on guys, and when they ask for more, he goes ape s*it lol.

Where are you guys, superjohn, Kemba15, nelsonmuntz and auror finding Seton Hall rumors?

I live in NJ and have some connections to the program

SH blowing an opportunity here with Rice hurt, I thought that would be a chance for SH to extend the lead and instead their getting ran now

Sucks for Texas because they get Chaminade, the Division 2 School that hosts the Maui Invitational. Texas has nothing to gain from victory but plenty to lose on the resume if they lose the game.

They were slow to the NIL shift in college basketball and they were fundraising for their new $55 million practice facility when the landscape was changing.

A lot of this narrative that Seton Hall is the sisters of the poor stems directly from Shaheen and then you got Pitino and Repole weighing in. I'm sure it pisses off the AD.

How do you know this? Is this through internet research or do you have connections to SH's program?

What I said is based on public information/comments from those individuals.

I do know Seton Hall isn't Little Sisters of the Poor, they have money for basketball.

The foul discrepancy in this game is insane.

This happens, although the conspiracy theorist in me thinks the hosts want USC in the title game.

And Baker-Mazara wasn't hit on that terrible jumper with 2 seconds on the shot clock.

Nope. Horrible call.

After that last call, I'm in the conspiracy theory camp.

 

[superjohn]

Refs just gave the game to USC, unbelievable.

 

[uconn_jack]

SH getting hosed.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Terrible call on the out of bounds to give game to USC. Hurley was right about the refs out there.

 

[Dibbie]

SH getting hosed.

That ball was off USC, why no review?

 

[uconn_jack]

That kind of trip should be an intentional. He purposely stuck his leg out to trip.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

that tie up is garbage too. You can’t call a time out when the ball is tied up.

 

[gsmooth]

CBM didn't get fouled at all. And his FTs broke the tie. Shaheen will learn not to use a challenge in the first half.

They have challenges now instead of automatic reviews. He must’ve used his already
