This is really well done. Loved the look in the locker room at the end, great group of guys.
Love this. These guys wrung everything they could have from this experience. Yes, it was crushing to not hear "Seton Hall" called on Selection Sunday, but they could've gone home. They could've accepted the NIT bid but just gone through the motions. Or they could've dedicated themselves to winning the damn thing, the only tournament that was available to them, and that's what they did. And I'm so proud of them for it.
It's easy to scoff at the NIT, and I have before. But I think it is what you -- and your team -- make of it. Seton Hall decided to play in it, embrace it, take it seriously, and in the end, winning it was a lot of fun, but it wasn't even the most important thing. What I take from it most was the way the individual players remained dedicated to the team and came out like they were playing in the NCAAs. They gave it up for each other and for Seton Hall. It revealed a lot of character and integrity and I'll always embrace this group of guys warmly.

Perfectly stated! 👏👏
You often hear that a team takes its coach’s personality. The Pirates really did. Gritty. Committed. All out.
You hear Sha's words in the locker room and then realize Khadary, Al and Dre were parroting those words in the media. It shows Sha's message got through and the players took on his mindset.

Fantastic view into the mindset of the coach and team going into these last five games. The players all speak as one and speak from the heart. I am most impressed with our coach..... who molded these guys and who has grown into his role better than I ever imagined. We are in good hands with Sha at the rudder. But you already knew that.
A terrific video and a great look behind the scenes.
BTW, we are so lucky to have a second-string play-by-play man as skilled as Dave Popkin. Listening to the game audio he struck all the right notes for both sides in his call.
I subjected myself to the Westwood One radio broadcast, (the only one on Sirius XM) and while I like Will Purdue, I was less than impressed with Cooper Boardman.

Two things:
1. what’s better, having your last game as a 19 point loss in the BET lingering over your head or embracing the opportunity presented to you.
2. Kadary speaking from the heart at the post game presser about SHU being a place where underdog players can come and find success.
Great video.

Dave Popkin is a play by play guy. But he takes a back see to Gary Cohen and instead does the color.
Like having two great PGs on the court at the same time.
