Seton Hall Post Game Thread

The most annoying thing I find with Donny is that he doesn't really think before he speaks, so he corners himself into these situations where he gives a take on something that just happened and then realizes its moronic/unfounded but then doubles down on it to save face.

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

Stood in front of TV for last 2 minutes.

You are welcome.

Yeah! I took off my sweater (that I had put on at halftime). Then I moved the recliner back about half way and leaned on my left hand rather than folding them in front of me. I should learn to do that from the start of games.

Seton Hall is emblematic of how tough this conference is. They played out of their minds with physicality..welcome to the Big East! There is nothing to give a pass on. We were poised enough to earn a very tough win. This was one of the best conference wins this season.

It's because the refs allow things that OOC doesn't. It's not about the quality of teams as much as it is that mugging guys levels the playing field and neutralizes our advantages.

Also being guarded by a 5'8" dude for a good deal of the game, Clark is a pest but at 6'3" you gotta take advantage of that.

Clark is 40th nationally in steal % and fights arounds screens efficiently. Demery had 9 assists and 2 TOs and we scored 71 against the 10th defense on KenPom. I think Demery handled Clark as well as could be expected.

Solo's statline looks like cr@p but it was a solid game for him in the sense that he wasn't forcing terrible shots like he probably would have earlier in the season. He stuck with the plan despite his shots not falling and he earned trips to the line and hit two clutch threes. He's been a smart player these past three games.

I want Silas to shoot the ball and look for his own shot more, plain and simple. We don't have to agree on that and that's ok.

Good win. I was WATCHING DUKE 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!!!

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.

Please keep any mention of ex-Dukies out of the Boneyard.
We have a national level broadcaster who's an alum and had a great career here. He's well spoken, dresses well, presents well, seems to have lived an exemplary life and represents the university extremely well. That's what people seem to want today..........image is everything you know.
I prefer him to a former coach who spoke about "our great university" and followed statements like that with grammar like "he have" or "they was". And I prefer it to our current coach liberally blurting out "sh_t" and "duckck" during post-game press conferences.
Donnie has lots of stories to relate and the network will decide if the majority of the audience likes his on air performance, so maybe we should treat him on the Boneyard the way we try to treat the players, and not publicly bash him for some quirks posters don't like.

His efficiency rating has tanked a bit over the last few games.

Yes Silas does. It seems like he found his balance between scoring and running the offense earlier in January and even in the loss to St. John's at MSG, but now he seems more reluctant to shoot. I noticed this in the Creighton loss too.

He played a B- game today. He still had 9 assists with only 2 turnovers and played well on defense. But 1 pt on 2 shots from the field isn't what the doctor ordered. He should shoot 7-10 shots a game.

I did like him taking Budd Clark's lunch at the 2 minute mark 😀

Play like they did today against UofA, Duke or Michigan, they get beat by at least 20.

Ehh, SHU’s muck it up, grab and hold style is very effective on our motion offense. It’s why these games tend to be way closer than the talent level would suggest more often than not. Those teams don’t play that way (and tourney refs generally don’t allow that type of play regardless). I tend not to view these games against SHU as particularly good at projecting future performance.

Oh, you mean the “80-year-old coach” Geno Auriemma — the one who actually stuck up for the men after the win over St. John's men's basketball? Yeah, that guy. Crazy idea: a Hall of Famer backing the program instead of panic-posting like it’s a five-alarm fire.
“SHU scrub team,” you say... 19–10 and already proved they can grind with us the first time around. That’s an interesting definition of “scrub.” If they’re that bad, what does that make a hard-fought conference win?
And Alex stepping up late? That’s not a bailout that’s called having a closer. Good teams have one. If every tight finish equals “we’re doomed without Superman,” March might be a stressful month for you.
As for Dan Hurley tightening the rotation, welcome to competitive basketball. Depth is an advantage. So is riding the hot hand. Both can be true without the sky falling over Storrs.
Anyway, on to Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball. Maybe let Hurley handle the steady leadership while you keep perfecting the dramatic narration.

I'm talking about the guy who has people calling me once a month asking me for more money for him to buy players.

That guy. I can arrange a deal for him - he can give me back 25 years of money to support this thing of his and then I'll start listening to him.

Until then, he, and you, can both go pound sand.

That missed call by the refs at the end was beautiful! Beautiful for us!!!

I don't know if according to the rules it should have been a foul but from my POV it was minimal contact before the shooting motion. I don't like rewarding basketball plays with no intention of actually shooting the ball. They deserved to not get that call. Take an actual shot!

Pitino/Willard/Greg Mc/Shaheen all using the same playbook to slow down our motion. Grab and go until or if the refs blow the whistle. Good news? Tournament freedom of movement in 2 wks.

But it was not in the act of shooting. It would have been an out of bounds play for SH

This is an example of how the rule book is the problem. It should be a rule that the attempt must hit the rim or backboard. If the other team counters with a mauling or other physical play, it risks a flagrant. Simply throwing the ball towards the rim should not be considered a "shot attempt". Let's be real and respect the game. IMHO.

I don't understand the Donny hate/dislike. He clearly is acting when praising opponents and is always trying not to sound partial. He wants to get promoted and be received outside of us.

Just listen to him reminiscing and you will hear is affinity. If he were to be a UConn homie then he will never get the big assignments. I just think we should support him, watch him grow and claim him when his is on National TV.

Just saying its best to ignore his praise of opponents, its cool and harmless, but benefits him.

He….never….stops.…talking.

Take a breather every now and then. When nothing of significance is happening in the game, let the play-by-play announcer do his job.

Less is more Donny.

Tom Creen on ESPN halftime didn’t think it deserved a foul either.

Nice to get the win but too many turnovers and missed free throws. But I will excuse it because we were playing at Gample where it is much harder for UConn to win.

And just for the record, Alex was awesome today of course. My previous comment was tongue and cheek.
