Seton Hall Post Game Thread

[polycom]

We won, it was again ugly but we won. However, we appear to have learned how to cut and pass let's see if we see that continue into the next game. We are a bit inconsistent from game to game. I'd expect our 3s to fall but we forget how to pass and cut but history doesn't have to repeat itself.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Is it just me or does Cole struggle (compared to his norm) with FT in close games/end of game

Not just you. Cole is somewhat hit or miss. He's either ice cold killer or brick city.

Oddly enough, Polley gives me more calm than any other Husky in last two minutes.

Maybe CBS sports did a bad job showing how great the crowd (specifically student section) was but for a sold out crowd I was a little underwhelmed. Too many instances all I saw was the student section standing still barely making noise except for scoring plays and the only chant I heard was let’s go huskies. They were good but no where near what the student section used to be and unfortunately no where near some of the other schools we’ve seen this year. The excuse about not having anything to cheer for also doesn’t count this game but for a packed student section I was underwhelmed. The team pulled out the win and crowd was good but no where near where it should be for a sold out gampel. Just my opinion and not calling shots at anyone or group of people. I understand it’s different since I’ve been on campus between 09-12. Good win overall and let’s see the team win another one on Saturday at home!

You are 100% wrong. Everyone who I know who was at the game said it was raucous when we were playing well and it sounded awesome on at least at my house. Maybe you should upgrade your tv and sound system.

In what possible way did I blame the students? I never missed a home game when I lived In the area and unfortunately don’t live in CT now. I gave an opinion based on what I saw on the broadcast.

Here is when…

I was there. The crowd sucked. It was full. But it was weak. Hartford blew it out of the water.

 

[tentoes4rings]

Yeah, he really gets up there for rebounds.

Two of his rebounds he was up so high I thought it had to be Jackson!

 

[mbs02005]

Well, that’s the point…you’re watching on TV. It’s very hard to get a feel for what happening at Gampel. The students are alway loud as hell in person. Especially during commercial breaks. Don’t doubt them.

The crowd was weak.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Hurley had some good adjustments (moving Whaley to the high post against the 2-3, the backdoor cuts against the aggressive man defense) that he doesn't usually make. Nice work. Good game by the Huskies.

 

[Hi-Low]

Tbf it was a 10 point game with 1 minute left. If we just make our FT’s at the end of the game we win by double digits

Cole missing 2 front ends was surprising but Sanogo front end miss wasn't really. Assuming the rest of final minute played out same way and Cole makes 3 of 4 FT's then a 8 point win.

 

[UconnU]

It’s hilarious that Sanogo plays so well vs Seton Hall given how his recruitment went. Not only did they lose him at the last moment to a Skype call but he dominates them every time he plays them

 

[Drfla]

A win is a win, no? Are you a closet fan of a different team? God, this place is insufferable. Turn in your UConn gear please.

so you think anyone who thought this should have been a double digit win is complaining and should turn in their UConn gear. First of all the win was by 5 points so it wouldn’t go in the less than 5 point category. Second Mau was stating the obvious. Up 10 with a little over a minute left, the only way this is a 5 point win is by missing the front end of three one and ones and SH making an inconsequential basket with 5 seconds left.

 

[Austin316]

Went to the game. My voice is gone. Ears are still ringing. Don’t regret flipping off the Hall fans.

I’ll eat crow. My expectations stem from nostalgic memories but glad to read that it was the way it was inside gampel. As someone else suggested I’ll look into upgrading the tv/sound system.

 

[alphasigko]

At one point we were 10-18. They were lucky we missed so many.

Exactly.... Really there is no excuse for choking at the line

 

[Bomber36]

Why in gods name would I care about how loud/boisterous/engaging they are during a commercial break?! They were a good crowd and not doubting the fandom or how loud they were which is why I specially asked if the broadcast made it seem that way. I’m merely saying an opinion based on what I saw. Not to take away from the players I was just giving an opinion on a heavily debated topic regarding student section and XL vs Gampel.

We support the same team…we shouldn’t argue about this anymore. Love you man! We won!

 

[MexicoHusky]

I think in general we've done better controlling the ball and not giving up leads late. Not great. I'd hardly call it a strength, but I feel we've improved.

 

[auror]

I kinda feel the same for Richmond. Feels like we took Jackson over him and he holds it against us.

 

[Tenspro2002]

That was our C+ game. Been a long time since we have really played well for 30/40 minutes.

Beating a Tournament team without really being threatened in the second half, with our C+ game, is pretty impressive actually.

 

[AdamaNation]

Didn't they miss 3 front ends in a row? Two from an 89% free throw shooter too. Luckily it wasn't close enough to matter.

I think the Richmond matchup gassed rj.

 

[HooperScooper]

Another quality win in games decided by less than or equal to five points. Shutting the boneyard Malcontents up once again.

I would not put that one on the less than or equal to 5 points list. Technically yes, but that wasn't really a close game down the stretch that UConn closed out. A bunch of front end misses and then SH hits a shot at the buzzer to get it to 5. Felt more like a 10 point win that ended up being a 5 point win.

 

[mbs02005]

I’ll eat crow. My expectations stem from nostalgic memories but glad to read that it was the way it was inside gampel. As someone else suggested I’ll look into upgrading the tv/sound system.

No. You’re right. Don’t let others who weren’t there tell you so. The crowd was weak. Everyone around me agreed.

 

[TheRealKBuks]

But truthfully this game had no right being in the “games decided by less than 5 points” category. Should have easily been a double figure win.

I mean the spread was -5.5 and we were up 7 with 8.3 to go.

On a similar note, I don't gamble and I definitely don't gamble on UConn but my Dad and I have running tally of picking UConn games against the spread. I'm 1-12 after tonight. Someone could make a lot of money going against my calls.

I guess I should have read the rest of this thread before posting this same thing above! Lol.

As I said above, this was a 10 point win that ended up being a 5 point win.

It was a solid crowd - amped by the student section. Gampel traditionally attracts an older crowd, so I’d say like 50% of the fans were sitting the entire time and mildly clapping.

Best atmosphere at Gampel this season to date, but left a lot to be desired. Maybe Seton Hall isn’t that attractive of an opponent? Hope Xavier on Saturday is much louder.

Section 107?

Just went through box scores, Cole is shooting 26/30 from the FT line in the final 2 minutes of regulation and OT this season

The yard comes up with the wildest narratives. UConn fans are amazing

 

[willie99]

Great crowd. Kudos to all those who were there.

Thank you

You're welcome

 

[giddyup]

Glad we chalked a W and maintained control over the game. Good job by Hurley exploiting cuts to the hoop, and D was excellent. Seton Hall is a solid BE team. We still need to notch up our game to beat some tough opponents ahead.
