I know they didn't play a great non-conference schedule (and I know this came out before last night), but what else does Seton Hall have to do to get on the right side of the bubble? They've beaten the top 2 teams in this league, and have no bad losses. I think they have a better resume than Butler or Xavier (who they are a combined 2-1 against, BTW).

At some point, their achievments in conference have to weigh more than a soft non-conference schedule?
 
Question I'm curious to hear responses on. If you could choose your coach tomorrow to lead SJU and the choice is RP or Shaheen what do you choose.

I think you'd find the people that wanted anyone but Pitino (like me) are seeing exactly what we feared would happen. Alternatively, the people who were pro Pitino at the being are certainly willing to give him a long leash. My guess is very few people have changed camps.

I do believe however over 20 years (lets go from Louis Orr to current) that Seton Hall has done a great job getting more out of less than most other schools in division one. They made 3 really solid hires in Orr, Willard and Sha and one they gambled on and should have probably cut bait a little sooner.

But yes giving the opportunity, I would swap places with Seton Hall right now in a second. I would take their coaches and staff, I would take their players, I would take their wins over UConn and Marquette and I would take their NCAA resume over ours right now. They can keep Newark and Pru though :D!

The question might be moot though because St. John's has bungled our coaching decisions so spectacularly since Louie it's hard to believe any young talented coach like Sha would even look our way.

One is a young up and coming coach about to win A10 coach of the year. The other is over 70 and about to miss the tourney.

I mean... sure... in a vacuum if those are the only 2 facts you look at with a Coach A vs Coach B comparison...

but once you attach the names to each... think you are a "party of 1" with this take.

We had a couple BE Coaches of the Year... that didn't turn out too well...

Pitino. This program was getting dangerously close to complete irrelevancy, we needed someone that attracts the kind of excitement and media attention he got from day one. Like everyone else, I'm not happy with the recent results, but he deserves to get a pass for year one of a rebuild.

More importantly, Pitino apparently has been an $ NIL machine this past year. I don't see Holloway being able to rake in the $$ Pitino has been able to. (And I say that as someone who hates NIL. But it is what it is).
 
Georgetown only 6 down to Nova with 12 minutes left.

Don't think the Hoyas will win it, but wouldn't mind seeing them do it, because I don't think they have two in a row in them.
