What's Einstein definition of insanity?
Same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Well here's hoping after 28 games Sha tries something different.
Press from the beginning instead of waiting until your behind by 20
Move the ball inside out instead of just around the perimeter. Shoot within 20 secs of clock
Maybe just maybe we can surprise

More Twitter chatter about a possible Biig East ACC merger

I’m not anywhere near as informed as others about whether these conference realignment scenarios make sense financially, given the current state of college hoops, and based on other factors. I loved the old Big East, and liked/like the subsequent iterations though not as much.

What I have read though is that Coach K, Pitino and Hurley all seem to support creating a bigger basketball league. Those guys are all traditionalists in some sense, so that tells me they must think it’s needed. If guys like that support it, I think it’s probably the best move.

Another factor is that there was a time not long ago when if you were a BE team with 20+ wins, a winning conference record and at least a few good Ws within and outside the league, you were probably a lock to dance.

Well last year we only got 3 teams in the dance despite 3 others (us, SJU and Providence) that met the above criteria.

This year we will get 4, but there will be at least one and probably 2 that fit the above criteria and don’t make the dance.

In some of these bigger leagues, there is so much opportunity to get good resume building wins in the league. So you have some margin for error. I think a bigger league will help on that front in addition to the finances.

I think there are some that will just think whatever he is doing is the right thing.

If he came out a couple weeks ago and called Putin a thug and a dictator, they'd be praising his hard approach as just being tough and a masterful negotiator.
100%. And there would be people on the left condemning his use of the word thug. He could have used a better word.

Rutgers lost at the horn

we we #1 in a preseason pick by some clown magazine back then. And while they arent doing as well as hoped, the two stars are still killing it, at least in the NBA draft picks. And no troubles like we had, as they have an experienced coach. The loss to RU at RU that season was so bad. My son had a game, so I went to my car at halftime. We had started to give back that nice lead and I went back to the gym with the sinking feeling that we would lose. For once I was right, damn it.
Foxsports.com had them preseason #1

Seton Hall stats to date

356th of 364 in 2PT%. It never got better.

288th in 3PT%

320th in FT%

298th in turnover %.

345th in 3PA:FGA.

The talent stinks. So has the coaching. We run offense that looks like those numbers besides the lack of shot making. It’s a disaster, chaotic, and unruly. We waste shot clock on idle lateral passing, nobody creates, no post plays.

Who ya got - St John's

This is their moment. Unlike us in 2020, they won’t squander it. Ofc playing lowly 2-15 SHU compared to Jay Wright’s Nova team is a bit of a difference. 🤣

St. John’s, 80-68. We’ll be pesky. We’ve been pesky against good BE teams lately.

I cannot believe we’re going from the last 9 years to 2-18. Good Lord. Thank God for those 2 OT wins.

Marosi, Vizzard Help Secure Pirates' Second-Place Finish at 2025 BIG EAST Champs

GENEVA, Oh. – Thanks to many wins, podium finishes and strong dives over the entire week, the Seton Hall men's swimming and diving team secured a second place finish on the final night of the 2025 BIG EAST Championships at Spire Academy.

Swimming
The final night opened with the 1650 freestyle, a massive swing event for the Pirates. With reigning BIG EAST Champion Sean Vizzard, as well as Clil Halev, the Pirates had two chances to collect a large sum of points. After the field settled into the race, Vizzard began to pull out in front and exert his championship pedigree. By the end of the race, Vizzard secured himself a healthy nine-second victory with a time of 15:09.74. Halevi, meanwhile came in fourth with a time of 15:30.03.

In the aftermath of the 1650 free, the 200 backstroke was next on the docket. After being outtouched in the 100 back, Balint Marosi wanted revenge in the 200 backstroke. While Marosi controlled the race throughout, Kaedin Duong challenged for the victory early on. While Duong got passed in the end, Marosi cruised to victory. His time of 1:46.21 was nearly two seconds clear of the second-place swimmer.

Another chance for victory presented itself to the Pirates in the form of Michael Klimaszewski in the 200 butterfly. The junior won the event in his freshman year, but came up just short against Xavier's Aiden Leamer last season. The two entered the event as the favorites and stepped onto the blocks next to each other. The two battled tight for the first 150 yards, with Klimaszewski maintaining the advantage through most of it. In the final 50 yards, however, Leamer began to pull ahead. At that point in the race, there was nothing that The Hall could do. Despite collecting a second-place finish, Klimaszewski broke the school record with the time of 1:45.06.

To cap off a stellar meet for The Hall, Toma Adam, Marosi, Kevin Cary and Klimaszewski prepared to attack the 400 freestyle relay. The Pirates broke the school record in that event earlier in the season. Despite being the top seed by a hefty margin, the Xavier gave the Pirates all they could handle. In the end, with the race on the line, Klimaszewski pulled out a dominant 43.29 anchor leg to secure victory and a new school record for the Pirates with a 1:56.10


After the final day of competition, the Pirates secured second place with 709 points overall.
  1. Georgetown – 836 points
  2. Seton Hall – 709
  3. Xavier – 688
  4. Villanova – 588
  5. Providence – 261
