Creighton vs Butler
- Thread starter Seton75
- Start date
Anyone who looks at Seton Hall's remaining schedule and says home games vs. Butler, Xavier, and Villanova will be automatic wins is sorely mistaken. Seton Hall is going to have to do a lot of work to earn a NCAA bid.
omg what? creighton guy smacks the butler dude in the face. no flagrant but the guy has to leave the game because hes bleeding. hes also their best ft shooter and butler has to sub in a guy that only had 8 attempts all season and he nailed them!
Crazy game. Terrific job by Butler to get that win. They fouled way too early at 11 seconds IMO.
Nothing helps our net lol
Game was missing some seton hall toughness but for 39 minutes was fun to watch.
Very bad job by Creighton not pressuring much earlier in the half with no Posh Alexander. They let Butler set up camp time after time. You cannot give up that many points at home in the second half. Usually, you would say a team played their A+++ as a high. Butler played an A+++++ offensive game. Let's see how the dust settles, but Butler is now in the picture.
My takeaway isnt that BU can beat us. I knew that. I think we can win any of our remaining games. Tonight made be feel that thought is a little less crazy.
I think the only game not winnable on our remaining schedule is @ UConn. But who knows, Providence competed well there the other night. But every game is also lose-able, except for DePaul at home.
Beating uconn again is long odds for sure. But watching pc give them all they could handle for 35 minutes gave me some hope. Like the game tonight gave me more hope that we can beat them. We have one definate win i think. And no definate losses. If we play as we can and stay healthy i think we are gonna be happy

I agree. Hurley and McDermott know SHU isn’t a guaranteed win for their team after one was out worked/embarrassed and the other pushed to the brink for 55 minutes.
I like waking up to this news and especially seeing Wachtel’s words “this win is another feather in our cap.”
If Seton Hall stays healthy there will be more feathers added to the Pirate cap before selection Sunday.
We will have to figure out how to defend him on the pick and roll to have a chance. Or get him in foul trouble !
Looked like a flagrant to me as well. He appeared to be going right for his face and not the ball. Earlier he stuck his leg out and injured another Butler player. Thinking some of his actions were intentional.
Nothing comes easy to Seton Hall. Never does. Just really never that kind of elite team and especially this year. Going from 6-1 to 7-4 is the most SHU thing ever, LOL.
