Seton Hall Post Game Thread

There were a few instances where I think we were too unselfish. Twice Cole was wide open for 3 and he passed up the shot to run offense resulting in a turnover. If Cole is open I want him shooting that all day.
 
Hell of a win. Incredible defense. We routed an 8-seed on a neutral court despite a really poor night from Sanogo offensively. Really impressive.
Sonogo cannot play tonight like last night. Still fumbling with the ball, he is tossing the ball up rather than look. Sloppy shooting for someone that big 7 feet from the hoop or closer. Yes he is being double teamed, get the foul.
 
Great defensive efforts all over the court. Tyrese and Jackson were especially disruptive and seemed to stop any chance of seton hall getting into an offensive flow.

My one real complaint coming out of that is Sanogo still concerns me when we go up against real size inside though. He just can’t seem to get it going consistently against seven footers.
He is just throwing the ball and hopes it goes in.
 
I think the refs really stayed out of the way. As physical as the game was, there weren’t a ton of whistles.
I agree. A perfect example of letting them play.

close friend who's a lifelong big10 fan and i were texting during our game. around 6 minutes in he said "i guess the refs aren't calling?" my reply was just "Big East"
Our joke in the old days was when the refs blew their whistle we would yell “what do you think this is, the PAC 12”?
 
Hmmm, mojo theme?

Where are the Hurley praise posts? That team was well prepared.
hurley haters would also be wise to check out the seton hall board today for some perspective. to people outside the program, it's pretty clear what our coach is building. kevin willard is about to be the belle of the ball on the coaching carousel and their fans are jealous of our recruiting, our gameplanning, and our intensity.

it's also pretty funny to see how despondent they were over the volume of uconn fans in the garden.

It’s more of a spacing issue. Teams are daring Whaley & Jackson to shoot from deep so they’re swarming and digging down on the Sanogo. He’s getting so few clean looks. Hell prolly get a few more against smaller defenders vs Nova but having 3 guys in a lineup who can’t shoot for long stretches of play hampers Sanogos ability to get clean, one on one looks. This line up relies so heavily on offensive rebounding.

This is gonna become a massive problem for teams next year when Hawkins hits his stride and sees more minutes, and Karaban is in at the stretch 4 hopefully. Sanogo is gonna be unstoppable.

So true. I trust Whaley’s shot more than Jackson, which isn’t saying a lot. Jackson is definitely a net plus overall, but boy is his shooting form terrible for such a great athlete. A few great shooters and for example golfers can get away with screwy form because it works for them. Not so in Ajax’s case. He could be college POY if he could score even 15-17 a game he does other things so well. How about an off season shooting revamp with Ray Allen tutoring.
 
I thought the Hall did a good job of pushing Sanogo out an extra 1-2 feet and quickly doubled/tripled when he got the ball. He needs to recognize the doubles faster and get the ball back out. Of course then someone has to hit the shot. The shots he hit were difficult. The rest of Sanogo’s game was excellent, that pass to Whalley was nice and well timed. A great example of playing extremely well but not a good shooting night.
I agree that he needs to recognize the doubles earlier. Hall made it very difficult with the quick third defender (and sometimes fourth) focused on blocking his vision and passing lane out of the trap. No chest pass possible, only high overhead pass if he can see the open shooters. Their game plan recognized how dangerous he was to them.

Andre's form my not be textbook but before the season started we would have all signed up for him shooting over 35% from deep. I think he keeps improving and now he's staring to be more aggressive taking it to the hoop.

Yeah, but I think with his natural coordination a tweak of his form would work wonders not just from deep but if he had any kind of mid range his drives to the hoop would be hard to stop. I know his 3 percentage is ok, but he takes very few and he’s not my first choice to be taking them early in a possession. His foul shooting could be helped a lot with better form. He has way too much full arm movement in his form and little finger touch. He’s at least as natural an athlete as Scott Burrell without nearly the refinement.

My favorite part of the game was the very end, when Gaffney (I think it was him) gave the ball up to Diggins with 20 seconds left to let him dribble out the clock. It's a small gesture but a very cool moment for Diggins. Won't be long before he's playing 30+ in games like this and running the show himself.
 
Awesome to see hoops alumni show support. Boone looks so different with that ‘do. Was not expecting a Justin Evanonich sighting!
I did not realize that was Boone. Great to see the guys still get together with the GOAT.

I agree, he needs to get rid of the ball sooner. There was one time where he was being double teamed and put the ball on the floor and lost it. That one drove me nuts. He also had a nice pass over his head backward, not sure if that was the Whalley pass.
 
Polley with his haircut, those retro jerseys, and ankle socks was giving me real Rashad Anderson vibes tonight. Just needed longer shorts.
I love the current uni's. There is no way I would want them to go back to this mess. Those long shorts were horrid.

Dumb-Noob BET question. Thinking about going to the game tomorrow. On Ticketmaster and stubhub I just see one event listed for tomorrow “semifinals”. Is the ticket good for both the 6pm and 9pm semifinal games?
Don’t think about it. Do it!!!
 
Also loved Martin chirping at Rhoden. I have to think it was related to Rhoden being named First Team all league.
Tyrese was fouled and then he and the ref had a quick few words. On the replay you could see Tyrese smiling at the seton hall player (rhoden?). He sure was having fun.
