@Seton Hall, Tue., Jan. 16, 8:30p, FS-1

[Mike Zaun Returns]

4 wins in a row for SHU with all 4 being by 6 points or fewer. KenPom scores it as a true 50/50 toss up and guessing the line will as well

Hall is way overdue for stinker. Let’s hope.

 

[weathermannyc]

I know the metrics suggest that we should be a small favorite, but the performance in conference suggests that Seton Hall should be a 1-2 point favorite here.

 

[paultzman]

Obviously a tough game, but our bench production offensively has been very good lately and SH limited. SH starters play major minutes and one would hope we could tire them out, but not so in their recent run.

Now of course our old friend Sanders will probably drop 10 or so on us in relief

I think we'll win by 14, but need to bring it for 40 minutes against a rock fight coach.

 

[L J S A]

Or he is having a solid season and we will have to prepare well for him.

Will need our small-detail posters to either confirm or call me blind, but I feel like Richmond's dribble, at least in the past, was slightly high. And he's tall to begin with, which allowed a shorter pest like Posh to bother him.

So while I'll never pine for Posh to return, he would have proven useful tomorrow.

Not an iota of doubt that we have a solid game plan however, and as long as we execute I think a non-stressful win is in the cards.

“Coach P is a Hall of Famer, a legend," Holloway said. "He’s been very supportive of me and my career since I was on the staff with Coach Willard, because of their relationship.”

I think we will win if we can play defense without fouling - We cannot keep giving teams free throws with 12 minutes left in games. That means - no reaching and do not keep jumping on the ball fake and trying to block shots. Fundamentals win
Play smart and the talent will rise to the top. Dingle is way to talented to have a bad season and would like to see him play some point as well

 

[Redenbacher]

I'm kind of shocked that we'd be considered favorites in this game. This is a road game against a team that is 5-1 in the BE, including wins over UConn and Marquette.

 

[paultzman]

Huge opportunity game to grab another road game and set the table for MSG game w talented Marquette.( Vander Blue exorcism)

 

[Silly Donovan]

Double digit beat down

I’ll drink to that…..

Reminder that Pitino endorsed Holloway to UMass after competing against him a few times in the MAAC but I guess Pitino was the only one not in on the open secret that Holloway to SHU was well in the works by that point

 

[Silly Donovan]

His usage was way higher last year because his team was terrible. He's also way more efficient this year because he's not forced to take or create shots that don't fit his game. Plus, the scouting report on him earlier this season was that he's a slasher and to let him shoot the 3. Since he's made 43% to start the season teams are closing out on him harder so he hasn't had the open 3s teams were living with in Nov and Dec.

I'd much rather him keep playing the way he's been playing than start jacking up forced shots and watch his efficiency numbers crater.

I’d rather he continue playing defense but he has taken himself completely out of the offensive flow of the team. I’m sure there are times where’s he’s open enough to put up a three. In the Creighton game he didn’t shoot once.

I am going to shoot early and often

 

[mjmaherjr]

I'm calling it now. Jenkins 15 points 7 assists with a win. Wusu 2 charges 3 blown layups. Also 8:30 start time half of us will be dozing off no way this thread goes as long as Creightons. Sir Eric what's the page spread ?

 

[Mean Gene]

I haven’t been to a St. John’s game at Newark in a while . Is there a certain bar or location where St. John’s fan hang out before the game ?

American Whiskey right across the street from the arena on the side. I know the owner Franco Ambrosio. His son Valentino was the kicker for Rutgers football and now he kicks for Tulane. He might make the NFL , he’s really good.

That’s what everyone thought about Creighton with their shirt rotation, that we would tire them out.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Seton Hall with wins over Marquette and UConn getting no respect in AP poll. UConn new number one….. hope they stay that way till we play them.

I'd love that, and watching Danny b (b could mean boy) crying on the sidelines after sju kicks the snot out of Yukon.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

I think we'll win by 14, but need to bring it for 40 minutes against a rock fight coach.

Unless the refs discriminate again.

Think about, the refs helped Yukon and Creighton beat SJU. Without the refs discriminating, we could be 6-0.
