Seton Hall Post Game Thread

[superjohn]

1. I like it when we win so there’s that.
2. It’s been multiple years now where we look inept inbounding the ball. Make it make sense.
3. Our bench is becoming almost a liability. Need so much more.
4. Making free throws is an easy way to score
5. Solo is hurting us more than helping at this moment.
6. Mullins didn’t look great, but he made huge winning plays when it mattered.
7. Hurley just becomes a different coach in NJ. Thought his postgame interview was just bizarre.
8. Silas has proven to be a really clutch player. Remember when some of you wanted him benched?
9. I don’t love how SH plays, but they are always a handful. Props to Holloway for getting them to play so hard.
10. Most impressive individual in this game was angry drunken Jersey guy. Fabulous effort and intensity.

This team is all about the starting 5 like I thought it would be before the season started. Best starting 5 in the country. It's why I always thought UConn '24 was a better comparison for this team than UConn '23.

We do need the bench to start producing again.

I just think Mullins looks better than him at the 2. I would love for him to shoot well again but maybe he needs to come off the bench for a few games to get his game back.

That requires one of Ross or Stewart to step up. Both have had flashes. Both were pretty bad today.

We're at our best with both of them on the court together. He'll work through this

How do we know that? Has there been a game were they both were clicking on offense at the same time? I can't remember one.

 

[Deepster]

97 (out of 100) game score on torvik

We won, and it was an on-target analytical performance

I'm pretty happy

Stewart played good D and actually had a nice first half. He isn't going to score. His role is hustle, play D and Rebound(Only 1 today) but there was a reason he was being subbed for D at the end. He plays better D than Ball.

Yes, there's been multiple games where they were both clicking.

Kind of a stupid thing to harp on all game long. Surprised they had to be corrected by Dan Hurley about the win. Katz bringing that up
again after pulling out a tough win on the road is what was inappropriate to me.

I think Dan misheard/misunderstood him cuz I recall him correctly describing it as “in 4 years.” Either way, Hurley clearly wasn’t having it.

 

[KingAG]

I think solos wrist might be a real issue

 

[3rdbass]

Yes, there's been multiple games where they were both clicking.

Which one? When they were both on the floor? I can probably count on 1 finger.

 

[TRest]

Not according to Hurley. He said they won there in 2020

Did they play that on campus?

 

[SwingDog]

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

Agreed. Looked rather shaky there. We really haven't seen that nearly as much as last season, but it did rear it's ugly head.

 

[Lafayette]

That Seton Hall Heckler is gonna take a cold shower sitting down holding his knees.

Must be ref Gaffney’s kid

 

[dennismenace]

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.

With decent officiating they would have either all fouled out or backed off. We took what they gave us and fed it in to Reed who was stronger than anyone on the floor.

I think solos wrist might be a real issue

Was it left wrist or right wrist? I believe he dunked that ball with his right (non-shooting).

 

[thekollieman]

You just knew a timely three pointer would drop for SHU after all the drama about them having made 0 all game… thank God for Silas closing it out at the line.

 

[Dove]

I think solos wrist might be a real issue

Which wrist? That right wrist on the dunk seemed okay.

 

[KingAG]

I’ve never seen a more negative fan base of a 17-1 team. We’ve lost the plot.

[thekollieman]

Also, shoutout to TruTV for using the smallest font in broadcast history for the team fouls. If it weren’t for the ESPN app I’d have been walking across the room to check the numbers.

Kansas, Butler, Xavier

Really I was super happy with the win. Great D and Feed the beast. I don't think anyone really thought it would be an easy win right?

I believe Stewart started that game and Mullins was coming off the bench in Kansas. Either way Ball is in a bad funk and doesn't seem to be playing out it at the moment. He is shooting under 30% for the year from 3.

I would hope not. And between here and twitter, there a genuinely fans who don’t feel good about the team. I’m perplexed

What are you looking for when you say shot creators?

Did '23 UConn have a bunch of shot creators?

 

[mauconnfan]

Good news: it's a win

Bad news: post game coach (and other) interviews ... trying too hard to set/control a narrative much?

Dan had a very crappy post game interview with Andy Katz, Andy didn’t deserve that arrogant comeback on what seemed like a good question. Please stop with “…. 4 games against SH doesn’t define my legacy…” Bull crap. Was disappointed in that, felt bad for Katz!

Have you read this thread? We're approaching page 7 and I can count the positive posts on one hand

Anyone complaining about the offense tonight, didn’t watch the game. With that level of grabbing what type of offense can you run?

 

[SixRings]

He did injure his shooting wrist (left). He did jam that oh so pretty throw back tonight with his right hand.
