Seton Hall, Sat. Feb. 11, 12 Noon, CBS SN/SiriusXM
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
It will be interesting to see what kind of effect the 6 day layoff has on our guys. It honestly can go either way. I've seen teams look rested. I've seen teams look rusty.
The fact that we're the only BE team that has played 12 conference games, leads me to believe that this break is a welcome one. Hopefully, that translates into our performance.

Our 13 point loss was the result of Delgado's 21 pts and 20 boards along with another DiVengenzo kind of game by Powell who scored 19 pts. Even though we held Rodriquez and Carrington to 11 and 10 pts., respectively guys like Nzei, who got a start yesterday hit us for 10 points.
If Yakwe is to start then he has to rebound, its called putting a body on the opposition. If you jump as high to block a shot, how can they even rebound when you have position. Feel their body and jump.

Gotta win 2 of these next 3 at MSG: SHU G-TOWN and PC. I want atleast 7 B.E. wins, which gives us 13.
If we can steal just 1 of the l;ast 3 road games, that would give us 8, 14 wins.
I'd call that progress.
But, yeah lets smack the snot out of shu

I will be there for this game. Expecting a nice crowd but lots of seton hall fans too. Key thing is keeping delgado at bay. Kids been having doubles doubles almost every game.
Plenty of opportunity coming down the back half of this schedule to work on making adjustments, a particular key in a conference where you see everyone twice.
We did a nice job taking care of business v. DePaul, and with Nova/X being two obvious adjustment games would put us squarely at 1-1. Thought we did some good things v. X the second time around, not as much v. Nova. Am wondering how many games we'd have to play them before we didn't go for almost every pump fake Hart/Jenkins/Brunson give.
So much of it with this team seems to be which version shows up. But beyond that would be nice to see tactical issues addressed. Hall right there with GTown for perhaps biggest opportunities to do this given how we played those teams in Game 1 and now getting both at home.
Am sure we'll be hearing about neutralizing Delgado all week and for good reason. But would at least consider going the other way on that one. With the run he's on, and how poorly equipped we are to try to slow him, might go Larry Brown '04 Finals v. Lakers on him. We could throw everything at him and it might not do much. So play him straight up and whatever he gets he gets, but don't let anyone else beat you. Focus on taking Carrington and Desi away and don't let Powell go off from 3.
I know Carrington/Desi didn't do a ton of scoring, but both played influential floor games (8 assists for Carrington, 8 boards for Desi) and were in double digits, and the 19 from Powell really hurt. I don't like the math for us if these 3 get 40 no matter the breakdown, focus on scaling that back + all 5 rebound for SJU on defensive end and think our chances are much improved.

Like that myself provided nobody over sleeps, misses a bus or skips class.
Unless it's Delgado.

any suggestions to watching the game online? CBS Sports Network is not part of my FIOS package...

I thought I'd post a link to the SHU game from last year b/c for those that remember, there was a bit of a "dust up" at the end of the game. I got some photos of it, but most of them is just people grabbing in a big huddle. Also, last year Solly Walker was honored during the game and there are a few photos of him as well
