LAST GAME
In an instant classic, freshman Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) drained a go-ahead three-pointer with 52 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Pirates to a thrilling 74-71 victory over Georgetown on Saturday in Walsh Gymnasium.

With the score tied at 63, Kaydan Lawson (Cleveland, Ohio) appeared to hit the game-winner with a corner three-pointer with only three seconds left, but Georgetown's Victoria Rivera hit a buzzer-beater from just inside half court to send the game into overtime.

In the extra session, Eads scored all eight points for Seton Hall, including the game-winning three with under a minute remaining. After the Pirates forced a turnover, Eads was fouled and iced the game with a pair of made free-throws. Eads finished with a career-high 27 points to go with seven assists, four rebounds and four steals. Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) tallied 21 points, six rebounds and six assists. Yaya Lops (Stamford, Conn.) had 17 points, which put her over 1,000 for her career, to go with three rebounds, three steals and four blocks.

AGAINST CREIGHTON
Seton Hall and Georgetown will renew their rivalry on Jan. 11 in Walsh Gym. The Bluejays own a commanding 20-6 all-time lead and have won six straight in the series. Seton Hall fell to Creighton three times during the 2023-24 season, but all three contests were close affairs. The Bluejays bounced Seton Hall from the 2024 BIG EAST Tournament with a 72-65 victory at Mohegan Sun Arena.

SCOUTING CREIGHTON
Coming off a third straight NCAA Tournament berth, Creighton returns seven players from last year, including Lauren Jensen, Morgan Maly, and Molly Mogensen. The Bluejays were ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press Preseason Top-25 Poll. Head Coach Jim Flanery begins his 22nd year as Creighton's all-time victory leader with a record of 401-262 (.605). Creighton went 26-6 overall and 15-3 in BIG EAST play a season ago, finishing in second place in the standings and advancing to the BIG EAST Tournament Semifinals.

The Bluejays have earned five NCAA Tournament berths since joining the BIG EAST before the 2013-14 season. They most recently made it through to the second round where they fell to No. 6 UCLA (67-63).

This season, Creighton is picked to finish second in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference. Jensen and Maly were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.

The Bluejays enter Saturday's contest with a 13-3 record overall and a perfect 5-0 mark in BIG EAST play. Creighton has won 12 of its last 13 games and four in a row. Most recently, the Bluejays edged Marquette, 71-68, in Omaha on Wednesday. Both Jensen and Maly rank among the BIG EAST's top-5 in scoring at over 17.0 points per game each. As a team, Creighton is the best three-point shooting squad in the BIG EAST at .358.

Rutgers could be first team to miss NCAA Tournament despite having two top-five NBA Draft picks

I dont agree with the idea that a presumed heralded and hyped talent can just bypass college or prep and not only be league ready but be a major contributor on a rising team from day 1 because unless of some crazy past trade the already competitive to elite nba team is not seeking a top 5 to 10 pick.

Quick story...Beasley I saw live and in person at Trenton his prep senior year at notre dame prep. He crushed the competition. Statistically he had an incredible achieving freshman season at Kansas State. Did I think he would get to nba and have all star all nba team award type consecutive seasons ever? No and that is how it played out.
If they want to stay in college they need to transfer to a real program. They’ve wasted a year at DIII, they can’t do that again.

One calendar year difference in LA area

I'm not misrepresenting anything. We've had these same discussions for years.
And you continue to misrepresent my views.
I said the exact same things to you years ago, you just don't want to agree that the scientific community is doing their best to present information about what the future will look like and what we should be doing now to prepare.

You don't want to accept opinions from scientists that present a future that looks scary... because it isn't scary today.
I think we can agree scientists that get quoted by politicians and people with an agenda are often wrong, especially when it comes to long term predictions. Scientists got a lot of things wrong during COVID and that was over a period of months and a couple of years. "Follow the science", but science does change as new things are learned.

Sorry, but I don't see the situation being as dire as politicians, the U.N., Hollywood and others claim. If it was that dire, people wouldn't be building $5 million homes on Long Beach Island; the élite wouldn't be flying around in private jets and their IC limos. The money would be making plans to vacate NYC. From my perspective, I will watch and see where the investors go; not where the government places their bets.
I'm not sure why you think it isn't possible to address both short and long term goals.
I'm not sure why you're convinced that investments in solar / wind and nuclear to mitigate carbon output hurts our energy independence.
More misrepresentation. Let the market dictate where the investments get made, whether it's solar, wind, hydrogen, nuclear. The government's job should be to make sure we have access to as many forms of energy as possible (whatever they may be) to mitigate any security risk.

Not good the heat is on

This is a follow up article with more details on what Seton Hall's own report says he covered up, and there are more quotes rightfully calling out the university and decision makers for their abject failure. Light needs to continue to be shined on this until Meier, Hank, and others involved resign or are removed. They need to go.
There is nothing new other than quotes from public officials who only know what has been alleged. Quotes from someone who read the article are meaningless. This is a mud slinging.

Not necessarily taking advantage of the US.

In Denmark's case, they literally have no defense system now as they have lent their armillary to Ukraine and not in a position to increase their arms spending. They (and other European countries NEED the U.S. for military support. Do they really need Greenland? Greenland has potential value to the US for minerals and for defense. If Denmark can't pay us/NATO for military needs, maybe Greenland is on the table?

The U.S./Canadian border is one of the longest in the world and we are susceptible to illegal's/terrorists coming over from the north. That border also needs to be secured.

Lebensraum

Personally think its his way of negotiating, not really going to take over the canal but wants discounted or Free fees for our ships. Canada and Greenland are his way to have something to discuss when he brings Russia and Ukraine to the table. He wants to let countries know we are done being taken advantage of. Denmark is smart, they are open to talking with him. Denmark realizes they need our protection and support. Open up a world map, Russia 100% does not want us in their neighborhood. Denmark might play along to get Russia out of Ukraine. Trump tells Putin to lay off or we are cutting a deal with Denmark for Greenland. Tons of oil in the seas between Russia and Greenland which Russia is already taking advantage of. Plus we can setup military bases in Greenland with missiles aimed at Russia. Not to mention he distracts the media from all the people he wants in his cabinet. Trump is smarter than people give him credit for, exactly why lots of people are now being nice to him. This kind of thinking was never part of our current presidents brain. Not a knock on Joe but he's a politician not a business man.

Time for Mara and Tisch to sell

This article says a lot about how Daboll and Schoen are mismanaging the team. Why would free agents want to come here after reading this? You also come to the easy conclusion about who was right in the spat between Daboll and Wink Martindale. These guys are learning on the job on the Giants dime and Mara and Tisch seem OK to let it continue. What a mess!

Why would they stay!? They’ve already wasted one year, why would the want to waste another year!?
