Seton HeII Post Game Thread

[Mets1432]

Seton Hall isn't just the worst team in the BE, they are legit one of the worst teams in college basketball. This one is tough to swallow and might be a season ender for all intents and purposes.

Curious to see if they bounce back vs Nova or just decide to lay down and start thinking about next year. This team and coaching staff have some serious soul searching to do.

Freshman that have never won anything as opposed

We're expecting freshman to execute this drivel better than this veteran team? Don't hold your breath lol

freshman that have never won anything as opposed to a veteran team that has players that while they weren’t all major contributors have titles(early season tourney titles, reg and post season conference title, national titles).

This team is like then 2012 team off the natty they had a ton coming back from a team that won a title added a freshman phenomenon had a second year player that was expected to step up. A backup pg who was expected to step into the starters role.

 

[KingAG]

How many guys on the current team do you really want starting game one next season? I'm thinking like... one or two

Ball, Stewart and maybe Reed. I’d like to see Stewart and Reed with one more year of development. I think we see Mullins and Reibe early. I think a stud at the guard spot changes everything.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

That's all going to depend on what we do in the portal.

Enjoy our dunkers tonight.

Hopefully we don't limit portal recruitment based on their families. Just take the best players.

Dan Hurley always said no one cares about the team's success and that it's only the current that matters. But he seems to care about the past when it comes to his coaching. Hypocracy?

 

[BigFanCT]

Solo, AK, Tarris.

Wild answer. Solo. That’s it.

 

[husky99]

Love uconn and that one stung bad.

 

[UCan3]

Lol - can't beat the worst team in the Big East... can't inbound. Blew 7 point lead with 36 seconds left.

And make no mistake, that was a bad team we lost to.

They played with a lot of heart - kudos to them.

But that was not a good team we lost today. So what does that make us?

 

[WrenchFan69]

Why are we talking about next year, I mean I get it after this loss while the bread is still in the oven and will be for a long time, but it’s just a losers mentality.

The regular season is over. Post season looking bad. Why not talk about next year?

 

[NEforceUConn]

I guess doctors have stopped prescribing meds (xanax, ativan, valium or klonopin) to UConn fans; based on the doomsday posts by all.

Maybe try a Kit Kat bar.

 

[Scoe]

Just to add insult to injury fox is replaying our game oh joy.

 

[JMick]

Ball, Stewart and maybe Reed. I’d like to see Stewart and Reed with one more year of development. I think we see Mullins and Reibe early. I think a stud at the guard spot changes everything.

I think you're being optimistic. We need at least a PG and a starting caliber 3/4 and probably need a center too.

 

[3rdbass]

I disagree on Stewart. But I’m a bit of a Stewart Stan. So I may not be objective

I thought he would be more of a creator but he is just a shooter at this point and not a great one. He doesn't play good d against penetration which is an issue. He needs to learn something from Karaban.

It’s what losers do, it’s a losers mentality. It’s why this loss stings bad.

We lost 4 starters and moved the guy who was 5th in our depth chart to first. We relied on two career bench guys to man our pg and center position. The pg can’t shoot and the center can’t rebound. We were overly reliant on a freshman and a bunch of sophomores who didn’t play the year before. All while having the target of b2b national champs on our back. The writing was always on the wall. This was a rebuild year. It’s clear now.

Hurley gets a pass this season. He’s more than earned that. But we need to construct a better more cohesive roster next season.

No pass. Last year they played like they didn’t win the year before And had to earn a back to back. This year they came in talking 3peat and acting like just because it says UConn the jersey they don’t have to earn it. That’s on the coaches. Team just doesn’t have the right frame of mind.

 

[KingAG]

I think you're being optimistic. We need at least a PG and a starting caliber 3/4 and probably need a center too.

I probably always lean that way. I think the only place we differ is at the 5. I think we go into next year with a Reed/Reibe platoon. Which would mean we would need our starting 1/3/4 to be plus defenders. I think Stewart can get there. That’d leave 2 starting caliber players we need. That’d also leave us with pretty good bench in Nowell, Abraham, Mullins, Reibe, Adams.

P.s. I think Mullins will be a stud

Okay. Then don’t give him a pass. Lol.

I will.

 

[housekeys]

I need some of that Kool-aid you are drinking. LOL

I am not drinking anything. I have my eyes open when I watch a game. I make predictions from watching.

 

[Milo65]

LOL. Good you should be embarrassed.

Keep sobbing about refs, it’s a bad look.

No we are just facing facts that we lost to 1-12 Big East team who really sucks and are now going on the bubble with some big tough games ahead. Do you really have confidence in this team with a hobbled Diarra and a team that plays very erratic doing anything this year. This Seton Hall team is not even comparable to the teams we lost in past years who were borderline Tourney team. This team is one of the worst teams in major conferences. It is like losing to Colorado bad. Damn and we lost to them too. LOL!

 

[3rdbass]

I am not drinking anything. I have my eyes open when I watch a game. I make predictions from watching.

Then you must see we are trending to a bubble team and there is nothing showing us that we will be a impact team this year. This Seton Hall team is one of the worst teams in a major conference. You can't afford to lose to them. We have more problems than answers and I do watch the games with my 2 eyes. It is just that I'm not giving the benefit of the doubt based on past teas that were way more talented than this one.

 

[The Viking]

Next time the team effs up in practice, instead of having them run up stairs maybe we should have them practice an inbound play.
I say this with all due respect but ive seen better inbound sets at youth basketball games - the kind where teenagers are reffing

 

[superjohn]

Reed needs to figure out a lot of stuff before next season if he's the starting five on the type of team we want to have. I'm not saying he can't figure it out but he has so much stuff to clean up.

Hurley needed to figure out Tarris is our best big this season if he wanted to have the type of team he wanted to have.

 

[3rdbass]

Love uconn and that one stung bad.

No doubt. I was looking for something to throw. I have turned off all college basketball media for the weekend to get through this. Good Thing we have some good UConn players to look forward to on All Star weekend.

 

[3rdbass]

Hurley needed to figure out Tarris is our best big this season if he wanted to have the type of team he wanted to have.

Where have you seen that on Defense? He is atrocious covering pick n rolls.

 

[UCan3]

Because we lost to Seton Hall? Tarnished? I don't think so. It was a bad loss, in conference anything can happen. We are the national champions. The target is on our backs and the refs are too. Yes! We should have not been in this.posotion to begin with, but to say that "our brand was tarnished today" is just mind boggling. And as for Donovan he's good, he's living a good life and playing well in the NBA. He would be the 1st to sa

In all my years watching the Husky’s this was one of top 5 bad losses of all time.

It was who and how we lost the Game Today.

We had many teams with far less talent that lost games but fought tooth and nail to grind it out. Teams that never made deep runs in tourney. Teams that played with a lot less fanfare in the AAC.

None that I can remember wilted like this - they lost sure - but that was a bit of a tarnish on us as a brand.

That’s also on the team leaders the upperclassman to set the culture on the team to let them know what having that UConn on the jersey is all about. The coaches can only do so much. It coming from a fellow player has more impact. From what I understand AK isn’t really the type to do that not sure about Hass either.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I don't this some people understand how bad of a loss this was. We are trending to be a bubble team. Positive thoughts and past seasons will not save this team.

Not making the tournament to defend our titles is a complete failure by the team and coaches.

Tied the Creighton win post game thread at 14 pages in 1 hr.

No one is looking. You think they are looking.

You see it's simple. I can craPP on my team or I can CRapp on the refs. Both had poor games. My choice is to craPP on the refs.
