Seton Hall Post Game Thread

[lateralous]

I agree with your assessment, but I think it started 2nd half v. Georgetown. The energy was different. Got it carry over to Providence, a house of hours for us in years past, and then Marquette and now today. You gotta hope McNeeley, Karaban, and Ball go on a shoot heater together. They have won the battle of the glass with everyone, even St. Johns, with McNeeley back. FT shooting looks much better. Plus they are attacking the basket more rather than settling for 3s. Team is jelling well. Hope it carries over now that tournament season is here.

There is a level of effort and connected play the last few games we haven’t seen all season. I just wish they had like 2 more weeks and 4 more games to really round this out before hitting the tournaments. Oh well, better late than never. Glad they seem to be peaking at the right time. Can’t wait for Thursday.

Only saw the first half. This was a laugher. How the hell did we lose at Seton Hall. Have to assume the guys were a bit angry about that and decided to let it all out. Good sign heading into tournament play.

Let’s appreciate what Hassan has done for us this year. He looks like a 50-year old with arthritis, playing purely on grit.

Hassan has valgus knees. Looks like he has been riding horses his whole life. Him playing well is crucial to this team. He is a major league soldier trying to push through pain to help the team win.

I think Mahaney’s game will have better prospects once UCONN returns to non-con opponents.

 

[Umami Zen]

Glad the Three Amigos went out on top. Winning convincingly as a team was huge. Aidan playing well-pulling the trigger when open. Bodes well for MSG and the Big Dance.

 

[Travelman6]

That's about as brilliant a revenge game as you can get vs an inferior team.

The score was 75-32 at one point. UConn slowed down in the last 10 minutes and shall made an 18-6 run but otherwise that first 30 was incredibly fun to see, made me forget the upset. I think they'd pound Colorado by 25 in a rematch too.

 

[Hoophound]

The big change that I saw today was that a lot of people were getting into the lane. Mahaney was playing tough and attacking. We just seemed like we got some swagger back. Hopefully, it gives the team a needed boost headed into the postseason.

I really don’t expect to win the BET, but we certainly can. It’s a tough tourney and good BET teams and the refs give us all we can handle. I really like this team playing in the NCAA’s with more finesse friendly refs on neutral courts. It may work well for us. I also feel really good about the play of Sam and Tarris. They’ve both been playing well and it has coincided with a nice run of solid play.

Samson went off in the beginning of the game. Having his parents there must have made him so happy. Today was not our A game but I expected this result. Liam is struggling but he never looks like he is down. When he gets his mojo back we are a serious problem. Solo and Stewart are playing better D. We are not fouling shooters all the time. Players are on loose balls and not waiting for someone else to do it. Hope we can keep building in the BET and break loose in the NCAA's.

There was a play today in the first half when Ross went out on a 3 point Hall shooter in the corner and instead of jumping and fouling he put his arm up and let the Hall player shoot. That is a huge improvement in situational awareness. Saw this from other players as well. We have a small window to win games vs top level teams and not giving away points will give us a chance to survive and advance.

 

[Fishy]

Still too many turnovers, too many passes to the front row or thrown right at someone’s feet, but the only thing I want to say about today is how the hell did we lose to Seton Hall? How do we ever lose to them?

I feel like our team gets drugged whenever they go there. No other explanation works

3 meals a day is overrated, ever notice your energy level is different with less food.

It’s not the lack of food that’s concerning, it’s the lack of water. Going 3-4 days without food isn’t a big deal.

Fasting = clarity. Keeps glucose and insulin levels down, working off ketone.

This is the mojo we need as a fanbase.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Losing is much more popular with this crowd.

There's lots of competition for who has the sharpest eye and tongue and pen to fashion the surest, toughest take.

Sometimes it's as though, "Winning? That's for losers."

That's a great signature line for March/April mojo.

 

[Marat]

So will Hassan and Samson lob dunk .ake the highlights on ESPN Sportscenter ? That was fun - reminded me of Khalid El.Amin and Freeman oop.

There has been a noticeable increase in Huskies diving for the ball and being the more aggressive team for loose balls.
My BP monitor confirms this observation.

Aka bow legged, as those from the old country call it. And yes he does.

Gelling, perfect timing. Left no doubt that the loss at Seton Hall was a fluke. Everyone contributing, as in EVERYONE

Can't wait

This one is worth a watch.

So it’s ok to give someone a wide open shot ? I coached high school for 11 years and been a basketball junkie since the 60’s and I never knew that.

I can confirm this, 3 meals a day is not good for anyone.

Haaaa. It really does seem this way.

I've become a much more positive poster after 2 dominant runs. The past 2 rings have made me a better father, son and husband.

Just the other day I walked outside on a crisp, late winter morning and thought of Nahiem Alleyne, and smiled.

 

[Marat]

This one is worth a watch.

Hurley showing his appreciation for Samson, and got emotional. Glad that Samson played well today and infront of his parents.

 

[Leebo]

Agreed, but in the direction of more meals, get that Hobbit life on.

 

[Stew Crew]

There were a few times today where they gave up a good shot and made the extra pass to get a great shot. Very promising.

 

[Tdaley]

This one is worth a watch.

Love our coach! On to the Big East Tournament.

 

[NickDanger]

I have an idea find a gym, maybe some high school gym, the Hurley's know jersey, warm up there, then go on the bus and show up right before game time, mess with Seton Halls head at least. Oh yeah maybe no bad mojo pre game quotes on the boneyard could help.

I’m sorry, do you really think that posts on this forum affect the outcome of basketball game?
