Seton Hall doing it again.

[superjohn]

Johnnies up last I saw.

By a lot.

 

[RedStickHusky]

I'm putting Kalkbrenner and Scheirman on my Collin Gillespie, guys I love to hate, team.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Both teams using some zone at times to take away easy blowby layups (hmmmm)

Playing some zone against Seton Hall is a decent idea

 

[superjohn]

I'm putting Kalkbrenner and Scheirman on my Collin Gillespie, guys I love to hate, team.

Why do you hate them?

 

[XLCenterFan]

I'm putting Kalkbrenner and Scheirman on my Collin Gillespie, guys I love to hate, team.

I’m split. Dislike Kalk. Love Baylor.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Why do you hate them?

"Love to hate" is different from "hate" --- guys I'd get the most satisfaction from beating... It's almost like respect but you could never admit it. Plus, they expect and get too many calls.

 

[gsmooth]

I think shall will be the type of team to win some shockers and lose some stinkers all year. Wouldn't be shocked if they got blown out by Nova, St Johns or Butler but turn around and best Creighton or sweep Marquette.

I think SHall will struggle on the road even with the Providence win at the AMP notwithstanding

 

[RedStickHusky]

I think SHall will struggle on the road even with the Providence win at the AMP notwithstanding

We kind of have to hope so at this point.

 

[ucp990411]

I'm putting Kalkbrenner and Scheirman on my Collin Gillespie, guys I love to hate, team.

Gee, what do they have in common?

 

[AdamaNation]

Tied with us at 3-1.

Puts them in first.

 

[Travelman6]

We kind of have to hope so at this point.

I think they'll steal one from a middle-of-the-pack BE team who will turn around and steal on @hall

 

[Kemba15]

What's SH's ranking on Monday? Do they just take PC's spot or fly higher? I don't see how they land below 15.

Also, I CANNOT WAIT FOR SUNDAY MARCH 3, GAMPEL, NOON

15?!? They’re probably around 50

 

[BGesus4]

Seton Hall will be lucky to finish in the top 4 in the league. Must we overreact to every last thing that happens…

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They remind me of like a pesky Tulsa or UCF team we’d struggle with in the AAC because they turn the game into something that is not quite basketball

 

[Hoophound]

When JC got to UConn he had us playing like this Seton Hall team. Nothing wrong with playing tough and physical if that’s what it takes. Seton Hall may do some big things if Holloway can recruit a little more talent. He knows how to make his players go. The Big East has a lot of good coaches. It's pretty amazing.

 

[jibsey]

We lost to SH and nearly to St. John’s. Can anyone here admit that these teams on any given night can be good? These “upsets” are going to happen all season. The preseason idea of all the top teams in the BE is not going to hold up it seems.

 

[HeGotGame]

Maybe 15 was generous. They beat us, MQ, and PC...also won @ Mizzou...a 10-5 (2 losses to ranked teams) BE team with those wins is usually 15-20, no?

Mizzu is sandwiched between App St and UMass on Kenpom, they are not good.

SH BE performance has been great but their non conference was terrible, it's gonna be a stretch to get them ranked this week but they are headed in the right direction.

I was going to say Cinci.

 

[MTBingNinja]

Good for us

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I was going to say Cinci.

Cincy usually had at least one guy who could shoot but definitely similar

They will be ranked. If they aren’t I will jump in the snow with my bathing suit.

BE is a gauntlet and no one is safe on any given night. These kids can all play and it gets tough on the road.

 

[SoFla Steve]

The Seton Hall loss is now Quad 1! Who woulda thought?

We had to muck it up to beat the Johnnies who have been scoring some points in many of their other games. It’s the Big East, bring it every night or crap happens.

 

[huskeynut]

So Marquette, Villanova and Providence go down. 4 teams atop the BE at 3 - 1.

The BE is going to be a battle all season. Let's hope UConn can whether the gauntlet. I believe they can and will.

As to the polls - my guess is Providence drops and and Creighton moves in - again. Marquette drops out of the top 10. Both Seton Hall and St. John's receive votes.

It’s like you don’t know us at all any more.

The March 3 Seton Hall game is suddenly looking a lot more important.

100%
since when has any season turned out the way anyone has predicted? In a sport that relies on young athletes (many under 20) who are such wild cards, how can we expect to know what's gonna happen?

I like the way the schedule shakes out for us. We'll know what we're playing for down the stretch.

Creighton beat hobbled PC and horrible GTown and has still lost 3 of 6. At this point I’d be less surprised if SH or the Johnnies were ranked than them. I don’t think any of them deserve it but I suspect SH has the best shot due to recency bias.
