Seton Hall Post Game Thread

[3rdbass]

I thought Silas played well against really physical ball pressure all game. He only scored 1 point but he was a steadying force. Ball had a good second half. Reibe had a couple nice moments. I really like what I am seeing from Ross lately. When Mullins goes out with foul trouble (which is a frequent occurrence) I am feeling more comfortable with Ross holding down the fort. He is a plus defender and his offense keeps improving. Way to go JR!

It would of been a great game to have Stewie around to help with the physical Seton Hall too. I like both Ross and Stewie as bench players.

All season a target on our backs,
All season it has resulted in opponents' best games.
We win 'em all.
We're ready for tournament time.

Not the Creighton game. We layed an egg in that one.

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.

That part was weird. No attempt at even a jumper and looked like he’d always pass up an open shot

They aren’t trying to hurt you when they do it. SJU does it to hurt and intimidate.

I wouldn't say SJU is trying to hurt. They want to impose their will physically. SHU just doesn't have any choice but to clutch and grab.

 

[Donyell 360]

Some of his hot takes are just so over the top I don't even acknowledge them.

Too much Donny hate on this board. He is our guy, give him a break. Even if he is not the best. Chill with all the complaining.

As I was typing this I realized someone could say the same thing about my complaints toward Malachi. But whether Donny is a good announcer or not has no bearing on the outcome of the game. Smith's play does.

Someone ask the 80 year old coaching the women’s team if we’re allowed to have an opinion on the game.

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.

Thanks for your opinion it is so valued

The problem is Donny is such a bad announcer and his over the top takes with his attempts to try to pump up the opposition is just bad color commentary. I normally mute him but in this game he was managable probably due to John Fanta not being there who I'm not a huge fan of either. Together they are insufferable.

To many wins at the end by under 6 or 7 points. It will bite us in the tournament.

Did you ever think this might be good going into the tournament?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

That they did. Question: Did you watch what Michigan did to the Illini last nite?

The same thing we did to them?

 

[CTBasketball]

Watched from the last 3 min from the gondola at Stowe, thank the lord we won.

Was it close the whole game or they just shot out of their asses?

 

[microfich]

Well, sure and StJ but hyperbole makes the point. We've taken a lot of punches and are looking down at the mat at the losers again and again (there I go again!)

They were up 8 with just over 8 minutes left. The game was close and no team got over 8 point lead in the game.

Well St. John's loss was legit the Creighton game was just a brain fart from the team.

Alex will lead us to Title #7. MVP of the Final 4.

All the above. SHU played tough I have to admit

 

[Donyell 360]

Yea it seems like he doesn't want to come off as a homer and goes way to the other end where he's overcompensating. Just call the game like a regular announcer, Robbie Hummel is a Purdue grad and has called a bunch of Purdue games and I never hear that stuff with him.

Who cares about Robbie Hummel? Donny is our guy

 

[Fan1978]

Was it just me or was listening to Donny Marshall particularly aggravating with all his subtle criticisms and backhanded complements?

Not as bad as his sidekick surprised reibe took shot with left hand not realizing he is lefty. Way to do your homework

 

[ctbro1999]

Thank God for Karaban. He brought this today.

 

[NJHusky]

Malachi Smith drives me crazy. At least he made 1 of 2 free throws. I guess that is improvement?

How can a pg shoot 50% from the line??

I wish those who mute Donny would also do us the courtesy of muting their complaints after the game.

It's like every time. Put the radio on.

 

[my2cents]

We know you love trashing UConn players and alums @mauconnfan, not engaging with you any further.

He has been blocked by me for a long time.

 

[upstater]

I can tell when Tarris is going to miss a free throw and when he's going to make them.

When he misses he rushes through and shoots in one continuous motion after the bounce. With a little hitch as he's bringing the ball up.

When he makes he comes to a full stop, pauses, and shoots fluidly from the knees.

I've been watching this for 3 straight games.

It's almost always back rim.
