Seton Hall Post Game Thread

[3rdbass]

It still amazes me how we deliberately let teams set up their press.

Grab the fricken ball as soon as it goes through the hoop, inbound to an outlet and push it up the floor. It can’t be any worse than what we do now.

Yeah there were a couple times they had passes on the other side but we pulled it back to play slow ball. I do not like that when the other team wants you to deal with their pressure.

Standard Seton trash ball Hall. Then they will wonder , if they make the tournament, why they keep getting called for fouls.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Still not sure this is a championship level offense. Maybe in the tournament they’ll start calling holds off ball, but we don’t have the shot creators of years past to make up for when our actions get “clogged” up.

 

[IndyLives]

Gutsy win on the road against a good team!

Solo 1-7 from 3-pt land tonight. He's under 30% for the season. He's never really been a good 3pt shooter. You are what you are. Danny needs to have a serious talk with him about shot selection. Cant see this continue as its killing the half-court offense.

 

[Gutter King]

Only caught the last 2 mins. Saw we were up 18 what happened?

Seton Hall imposed their will on us, aided and abetted by the stripes. It was a good one to miss, complete torture.

That being said...2023 lost this game, so we have plenty of time to figure our offense out and find greatness. Just hate going up 20 again and having it get very hairy down the stretch.

1. I hate SHU’s style of “dare them to call every foul”. Awful basketball to watch.
2. That type of game helps prep this team for March.
3. SHU will be the latest BE rock fight team that finds out how much tighter tourney refs call games.
4. Val should be embarrassed that the league allows that kind of product. What a hideous game to watch. No other league allows that.
5. Say what you will about Hurley, no other coach goes apoplectic about the most blatantly obvious fouls quite like Shaheen.
6. I want to launch that guy sitting behind the announcers into the Hudson River.

Say it with your whole chest.

This conference and the way it’s officiated is so gross. On the up side, it helps us come tourney time, but they’re literally fouling every possession.

Absolutely brutal to watch.

The downfall of Solo Ball will be studied for generations. I don't care if he's not hitting shots. His defense is putrid and he has constant lackadaisical turnovers.

His confidence is shot but Hurley will stick with him and he will find his stroke. He’s capable of being an adequate defender so we’ll see how this plays out.

 

[CTBasketball]

Our bench depth has appeared to dwindle as Big East play rolls on.

Some guys just can’t be given big time minutes.

 

[Devland]

16-26 from the line. But 8 of those 10 misses were from Tarris. We need other teams to foul people other than him.

 

[Flipside]

I missed it - can you expand on that please? I'm too busy pounding shots for my nerves at this point...

We all know we just broke a losing streak at Seton Hall ... to dismiss that (celebratory moment) was creepy, imho, not to mention totally unnecessary to demean the interviewer like that ... unfortunately that usually spells losing in the future (which I do not wish, lol)

 

[MJKI]

A win at Hall is huge.
Everything else is gravy (except for when I threw my remote at the TV when solo missed a block out and immediately turned it over for maybe his 4th of the game with 40 seconds left)

 

[Lafayette]

Yikes. We really gotta learn how to get the ball in against the press. It's been an issue for years.

yeah 3 times we gave it to a guy in the corner

Everything you’ve said in this thread is way more creepy than anything Dan or Taris said.

Too many turnovers and not enough rebounds. Also, too many missed foul shots.

We still have a solid 8 man rotation with Smith, Reibe, and Stewart.

 

[Gutter King]

I love the Big East and I don't like complaining about the refs but I hate this. We're the best team in the country, other conferences protect their golden goose. Our conference lets lesser teams grab us constantly and the mugging turned into straight up tackling in the second half tonight. It's honestly embarrassing for the conference and it's going to get someone hurt.

Tarris was a beast out there despite the terrible ft shooting. Silas and Mullins are money players. We all know about AK and he was more than solid.

I love Solo but he needs to regain his form. He had a good first half but he was horrendous in the second half. Hurley made a big mistake leaving him out there that long, Solo can't handle full court pressure at all and his three point shot has never come back. He turned one down to walk into a turnover.

Andy Katz is a bozo. I love how Hurley handled him.

That one fan is insane.

Kansas is whooping on Iowa State.

A great night for UConn basketball despite the frustration with the conference/refs.

Exactly. The conference should be helping us maintain our position as one of the faces of CBB. We don't need any favoritism, they just need to eliminate all shades of what we saw tonight. We are constantly behind the FTs.

Good thing is, once the tourney rolls around....the offense flows much better by default.

 

[Chin Diesel]

A win is a win is a win. A win on the road is even better. A win at a place you have lost four straight times, and each time as a favorite, is icing on the cake.

That being said, someone stuffed a turd in that cake.

The team showed grit, and while wobbled, they never got knocked down.

Credit to SHU for fighting all 40 minutes. Their grit guaranteed us fans couldn't blame the second and third units for blowing the spread in the last two minutes. No, the starters did that by themselves.

Karaban makes some real boneheaded plays inbounding the ball when the other team presses. UConn's guards also make boneheaded moves when catching the boneheaded pass. Needs work.

Reed was a beast and the reason why UConn won. His FT shooting is why UConn didn't cover.

These BE games are showing the limitations of Smith, who continues to just pound the ball in to the court way too often, and Riebe, who needs to adapt to the physicality of the BE.

Whatever. I'm sure everything I'm saying has already been mentioned but I'm not going through every post written so far. I'll save that for work tomorrow.

On to Gtown on Saturday. G'night.

 

[Husky Alien]

I am not trashing Reed, but he needs to shoot better at the line (5-13). We as a team shot 63% and Reed was the main culprit of that percentage. Do we play smaller twords the end of the game when it's tight with better free throw shooters or put in Reibe in?

 

[blkknight1]

Proud of ALL five starters. Stewart gave us some good minutes off the bench, but Hurley must have lost trust in the rest of the bench. What a way to gut out a tough win. Reed was gassed and likely contributed to his free throw woes. Love how these guys refuse to lose.

Reibe was in foul trouble and tarris was dominating
Silas was reliable with the ball and so bringing in malachi made no sense.
Ross was still a step slow coming off the injury and for some reason was overplaying the passing lanes and gambling way too much on defense.

Re: 6. Maybe an unpopular opinion here but I thought that guy was hilarious.

 

[Palatine]

On defense are you allowed to lower your shoulder and smash the defender backward? That happened to Mullins on numerous occasions. I thought you were entitled to the space you occupy.

 

[Marat]

17% made threes tonight. Is that a season low?

Reibe is a worse foul shooter than Reed. 46.2% vs 57.6%

 

[navery12]

Seton Hall wants to win ugly because that's all they have, we didn't let them

 

[Padutch5]

Refs?

What refs? We have seen the white haired ref far to offen. At least at Peoples , he is more interested in telling players to tuck in their shirts than he is interested in calling fouls on football like dipping shoulders into stationary defenders.
