Seton Hall up 4. They foul Fordham on a 3 with 17 seconds left. Then Addae-Wusu drops a wide open pass out of bounds. Fordham buzzer beater for the win. Seton Hall is horrible

Can’t wait for them to smoke us by 15 in Newark

Holloway should have left while he was a hot coach. He knew 2 years ago that Seton Hall was not willing or able to compete in NIL, and his team just flat out sucks now. A staff of Hurley, Calhoun and Auriemma couldn’t win with this dreck.

Seton Hall plays with no purpose on offense. The players haven't a clue what they are supposed to do. In fact, their only offense last year was to give the ball to Kadary and have him bulldoze his way to the rim.

Best case scenario for the league this year is for the bottom 6 to lose every game they play against the top 5. That's the only way I see getting 5 teams in this year.

Seton Hall will give DePaul and Georgetown a run for their money to be the worst team in the conference.

His early teams actually reminded me of early Hurley UConn. Not the most talented but would grind 110% and just play harder than anyone. Even last year had some solid guys like Dawes and Davis

Other than a 6-7 game stretch last season, 0 improvement over time. Now they still aren’t talented, but also don’t play hard.

That back breaking turnover was completely unforced. He just took his eye of the ball looking to score when he should have been focused on simply catching the ball. But he isn't a good FT shooter so that might be why he rushed.

yes, the problem is not Holloway, he is a very bright coach. There is only so much he can scheme Xs and Os wise when the players are not good enough and lack of NIL restricts the ability to get good players.

Dawes is a dead eye shooter and Dre Davis was good creating off the dribble and finishing near the basket along with BE first teamer Kadary Richmond. Addae-Wusu is the only returning player and it's not like the other players were high level transfer and high school recruits. Seton Hall simply doesn't have the horses. Let's see if Holloway can get this team to it's ceiling, which might not be all that high.

I would disagree with that 6-7 game stretch, they did win the NIT which is a good accomplishment which included a win over Indiana St. at Butler's home court.

The Johnnies down 4 at the half to QU. A Quinnipiac kid has 5 treys.

I’m done with the Big East. We are too good for it. Do whatever it takes to get to Big 12 or ACC. Or hell call the Big Ten and say basketball/olympic sports only with a 10% share.

They were the trendy pick last year as well. I don’t believe in their build. But that’s opinion. We will circle back. And you’re really arguing about it being 6 bad teams instead of 7 lmfaoo. What are we doing
I mean if your definition of bad is not a tournament team, and only 6 are "bad", that means 5/11 teams in the conference are tournament teams. Why are we freaking out about that?

Wheels have fallen off for Quinnipiac. Down 10 and defending.

The BE being an overrated basketball conference. UConn completely carrying its reputation at the moment. The majority of the conference being hot garbage this season. Loving the BE for what it used to be and not what it is. And getting 3 bids for the 2 straight seasons.
We had quite a few games that were fairly close in the BE last year. I expect the same this year.

I thought Zuby Ejiofor would look a bit better, but St Johns is 2-0 with an average win of 24.5 without him doing great so no harm done

Time to watch Georgetown try not to embarrass themselves again
