Here's the thing with Seton Hall. They're basically the separator between who sucks and who doesn't in the Big East. They swept St. John's, DePaul, Butler and Georgetown. 1-8 vs the rest of the league.Sometimes I feel like half this board doesn't watch any games outside of ours. They would be freaking out if they were a fan of pretty much any other team in the nation. Look at the Big East alone, I can't imagine the mental breakdown this board would have if we lost to Purdue or Butler, and yet Xavier lost to both. Marquette got blown out by us, we would say that's proof we're not good enough to hang with the best teams in this league if the opposite happened to us. Providence just lot to St. John's and only beat Rider by one point earlier this year!
Every game is not going to be a blowout or include a flawless performance. Nobody in college basketball does that. There are things that need to be cleaned up, but ultimately we're a top 15 team and have the ability to make a deep run in March. I wanted us to be a top 5 team the way we started but I think its safe to say we're not that. So my recommendation would be to stop worrying so much and try to enjoy the ride.
Their best player played 7 minutes. Despite this, they almost cut it to a one possession game with about a minute left on our home court after being down 16 a few minutes prior. Our team has obvious flaws - inconsistent guard play and in-game adjustments. Other teams deal with this too, but the point of this thread is to take an honest look at this team. We struggled with a team we should've killed. Our flaws aren't going to be fixed by March - we just have to hope Newton balls out and we don't play tight games.
