Crowd was great today. Loud and heard some Oakley chants too
Seton Hall, Sat. Feb. 11, 12 Noon, CBS SN/SiriusXM
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
Seton Hall recap:http://www.bigeastboards.com/
- Great game plan.
- Contributions from all - with Lovett and Owens distinguishing themselves
- Yakwe, while having limited rebounds, booting a few and missing a dunk, played tough. Ref had to speak to him a couple of times when he was bodying up on Delgado on out of bounds plays
-Ahmed forced a lot at the beginning but backed off after a while and played tough D while rebounding very well. Good overall numbers
- Nice crowd - listed at 9K+ but looked like more...lower bowl looked just about filled. Thought that might put it closer to 12K (not sure how much lower bowl seats).
- Would like to have seen Butler win vs. Providence but think we are a tough matchup for them in any event.

We had a very good game today . Amar and Yakwe played like men . Yakwe's confidence is improving with each game . Shamorrie and marcus believe that they can go to the basket whenever they want to . They are both left handed but are now starting their offensive moves from the right side and ending up on the left side at the basket. ahmed is really turning into a very steady player , no forced drives today .. Owens was great and he Amar and yakwe neutralized Delgado .

I think he did great today with Delgado as well... I was really wasn't just referring to today, more or less the whole years body of work. He's listed at 6'8, I think more like 6'7, anyway at that height and being around the basket, my point is that without even trying hard, balls will find you. I'm hoping it's just the sophomore slump cuz I actually love the guy..

Great game comments by all and I have little to add but to say Tariq Owens plays with intensity every game and if a couple of the other players ever catch his fever we can beat anyone in the Big East. As they say "you can't teach height" but Tariq has hops and speed and a developing shot. With double portions of everything in the dining hall he should gain 20 more pounds for next year when he will become a bigger factor in games.
Coach Mullin was in control of his team and looks like he is in command during time outs. No games are going to be easy but had we not lost 3 games we should have won we could have had 15 wins by now en route to an 18 win season I thought was doable in November.
It would be nice to see everyone on the same page the rest of the way and play with the energy and enthusiasm of Tariq Owens.

Lol. So we should ignore his rebounds stats for the year because of his well played game today? I like Yakwe, kinda made that clear, doesn't take away from the fact that he averages only 3.5 rebounds a game, down 2 from his freshman year. That's the point I was making.

SHU - BAMMMMMMMMMM 6-7 now. We're taking care of business vs. school that we are supposed to at MSG.
F taking 1 of 2 vs. G-Town and PC, lets roll them both.
Next 2 games are road games vs. Butler and Marquette, lets split those 2.
Back to the 6th spot in the B.E.

I agree, just referencing the NIT since it'd be a major statement. No matter what though, we clearly have improved and that was always the goal this year. NIT is just a stretch goal.
Two months ago I was panicking because I thought recruiting would fall off the map. Nice to have a completely different mentality now.
NIT? My mind right now is on winning the BET and getting an automatic bid. The only team that worries me is Nova. We've already handled Butler, Creighton and Xavier have both lost their PG and all the other teams we'd be either favored or a pick em. Avoid the 5 seed so we don't meet Nova till the finals and anything can happen

Last SJU player to get a triple double was David Cain in the first round of the '93 NCAA tournament. That is, if you don't count Obekpa's memorable triple double in the 2015 exhibition game where he purposely banged the ball off the backboard in order to get his tenth rebound.
