Seton Hall Post Game Thread

He’s awful. Absolutely awful.

Yeah, but he looks good.

Someone ask the 80 year old coaching the women’s team if we’re allowed

You shouldn't let an 80 year old man get in your head

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Yeah he is hard to listen too but I don't think he called the game more fair and glad Fanta wasn't around as they have too much energy to broadcast together.

i went to college with him, Ive heard enough stories about him, from him. His ratio of talking to information or analysis is practically a negative number. Give me the Jim Sparnakelish soup of the day over him please.

 

[superjohn]

We got a friendly whistle. That is a rare thing.

Whoever thought honoring a guy before before his career was over should be jailed. Alex bailed them out but it could have backfired just as easily. As soon as I saw that I knew we were in trouble.

So much pressure on AK today to perform and he lived up to it and more.

 

[UCann]

Mad love to AK. Can’t say how much he has meant to me and the program. Glad this was our last game at Gampel, such bad mojo there this season for some reason.

 

[blkknight1]

Lots of points left on the line. Reed being 50% is something we have all accepted but your backup pg being 50% is not gonna cut it.

Love silas his defense was awesome (though you gotta know that they are gonna jack up a shot late if they know you are fouling so you gotta be careful)but he seems to have a game like this once every couple of games where is plays way too passively on offense. He had a smaller guy on him and only took 2 shots.

 

[Fishy]

Yeah, but he looks good.

$6M a year helps with the worry lines.

Alex bailed us out. If he isn’t Superman, we get dumped Creighton-style.

Like 48 hours after getting confirmation that our depth is a huge advantage, Dan Hurley again shortened the bench and we immediately went back to being life and death with a scrub SH team.

Anyway, on to Marquette and rooting against SJU later on.

You suck so much

 

[aceboon]

Silas can't play 35+ minutes and only take 2 shots, it's 2026 not 1966, point guard has to be aggressive and look for his own more. He's too good offensively to be handcuffing himself.

 

[Conndog]

I don’t think Silas pushed Seton Hall’s Clark at the end- he had his hand on him briefly though. But no push- Clark didn’t move and he only weighs about 25 pounds

On the one play? Maybe, but what about the non calls when we got hammered inside all game? They were reaching in, grabbing all game and mostly uncalled.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I mute donny so often the button is wearing out on the remote

Going from Hummel to him as the color guy in consecutive games really puts the difference in full focus. What a drop-off.

 

[Fishy]

I don’t think Donny is unfair - he’s just inane.

It’s two hours of incomprehensible babble.

 

[BlueHen]

Nice win. Seton Hall needed this win to help their tourney bid chances. UConn said 'not today'.

AK 5/6 from three.

What the actual F? He just had his best game of his career. Insane take.

 

[80shusky]

Nice to finally exorcize that demon! Go Huskies!

Ross, Smith, and Reibe played 31 minutes today and 38 against St John's. There was not a significant difference and the lack of playing the bench was not in the top 10 reasons this was a close game

 

[sdglast]

After pouring everything emotionally into the St. John's game, and Seton Hall coming off a week off (am sure full UConn prep) and playing potentially for a NCAA bid, I am not surprised they had more energy than UConn today. Did I think it would be this close, no, I thought UConn would pull away. Let's face it, Seton Hall is the worst 3 point shooting team in the Big East and shot over 50% from 3 making 8 threes after taking an 0fer in the last game. Don't get me wrong, UConn was bad on D today, looked lethargic, and had their issues on offense, but they came through with a win and now FINALLY get their 2nd half of the season bye. It could not come at a better time. Hopefully, they can take a deep breath mentally, get their legs back and heal up physically, and get ready for the Big East and NCAA tournaments. UConn will have one game in the next week and half. They have lots to work on (free throw shooting, 3 point defense, and better fast break basketball to name a few), but they got the W and that's what counts in the end. Happy for Karaban that he walked out a winner and led UConn to victory.

 

[RuffRuff]

40 minutes from AK, 38 for Demary. Needed every bit of AK today - appropriate. Gusty game by Shaheen and team, in a game they really needed.

I don't undertand it, he's such a great player. We're really good offensively but obviously not good enough on that end of the floor for Silas to decide he's never going to shoot. The staff has to get it in his head that we need him to shoot the ball. He should have a minimum of 10 shots every game.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I changed seats on the sofa when UConn got down by 8.

Stood in front of TV for last 2 minutes.

You are welcome.

I did too and have talked to him once and he is a little bit of cocky guy. I don't dislike him but sometimes he does go over board on what he says.

That can go either way. Fold under the pressure of the honor or step up.

He stepped up big time……so I’m not really sure what you’re complaining about.

 

[BugsyCT]

The Captain made the difference

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Good win. I was playing monopoly go for most of the game so I wasn’t focused on the action. Karaban came up big. Solo did enough. Defense was decent. Rebounding needs to be better. Silas needs to start shooting more. Mullins is definitely not NBA ready. Let’s win the Big East Tournament!!!
