Seems like PC and Butler will be those solid midtier teams you will struggle to beat on the road.

Comparing Shaka to Lappas worries me that Lawman showing early signs of Dementia

Go take a look at Lappas with Villanova from 93-2000. Won 20 or more 6 times, finished top 2 in the league 3 times, had great talent on the roster ... And never got past the second round of the NCAAAT

Boom. Lawmanfan lowers the hammer!

So much for our great defensive effort against Wagner they have 20 points at the under 12 minute mark of the second half against Seton Hall.

Apples and oranges. Hall slows game to crawl.

Knock on wood when you say that. Playing in Newark has been a nightmare for us for years. We even got screwed there in the infamous LJ "inadvertent whistle" game.

That games was in Jamaica. I was at snow storm game Newark. Maybe 30 SJ fans there. Less than 250 total attendance. Arena invite all to floor seats. And Lavin and his merry band won!

Held them to 23% FG 16% from 3 has nothing to do with pace of game. Guess you’re not an expert on fruit

You misunderstood my post. But it’s ok.

No dog in the fight but respectfully, shooting is a rhythm and timing act and the pace of a game can very much have an affect on shooting %. That is one of the goals of speeding up a team that would prefer to play slow and vice versa.
Now, that is a very general bball statement, I did not see the Hall-Wagner game so have no idea if that was the case at all there.

Career 2 games over .500 in conference games lifetime 2-4 ncaa's and 4 ncaaa appearances in 17 years vs +60 something games over 500 in conference lifetime 10-11 ncaas and 11 ncaa appearances in 15 years

Lappas=Taco Bell
Smart=Shake Shack

Didn't realize Wagner was the Showtime Lakers.

I'd have gone with a troll gif but yeah.

In totally unrelated news I have the same question as DK - what happened to the unmotivated artist known as Garwey Dual? I was sort of skeptical that Sha would put up with him for very long so wouldn't be surprised if he was benched or left the team.

Apparently Dual and Zion Harmon are “out indefinitely”. Ruh roh.

And I still think Sha will get whoever to play competitive in the Big East.
