SCOUTING PROVIDENCE

The Friars went 13-21 overall and 6-12 in BIG EAST play in 2023-24 and reached the quarterfinals of the conference tournament. Providence advanced to the WNIT’s Second Round under the leadership of head coach Erin Batth.

Providence returns an experienced squad, including six upperclassmen. Two notable returners include Olivia Olsen, Grace Efosa, and Brynn Farrell. Olsen, a 2023-24 All-BIG EAST Second Team honoree, finished the season with 12 double-doubles. Efosa averaged 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team. Farrell enters the year with a .816 free-throw percentage and 10.2 points per game.

This season, Providence is picked to finish third in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference. Both Olsen and Efosa were named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.

The Friars enter Saturday’s contest with a 7-6 record overall having won four of their last five games. Most recently, Providence routed Merrimack, 62-44 on Dec. 14. Efosa is off to a fast start, averaging 15.7 points per game which ranks ninth-best in the BIG EAST.

•Seton Hall almost certainly won't get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, so they need to earn an automatic bid by winning the Big East tournament.
•As for an automatic bid ... we don't see it happening. There's always next year.

Likely much more than that. We’ve beaten this topic to death. Our older generation of fans was likely the first in their family to graduate college and therefore they all felt immense pride in their school of choice. It was a great accomplishment then. It was a privilege to attend college.

Nowadays, its a right, it’s an expectation. Kids feel forced to attend and are saddled with debt that they don’t want but have no choice. The colleges have raised prices to insane levels knowing they can get away with it.

They leave angry, in massive debt and with jobs that likely have nothing to do with their college experience.

Expecting the new generation to donate is a very difficult task. You’re trying to find a needle in a haystack with someone that had: a great experience and makes good money. Harder than you think.

This is accurate in a lot of ways, and I think it is causing a shift in how kids attend college, especially those whose parents have a ton of student loan debt.

This is anecdotal but I feel like the more I talk to younger (18-23) college kids or slightly older, the more I see them taking advantage of the community college -> transfer route. When I graduated high school in the 2000s, it was almost looked down upon to go to community college, which is insane in hindsight given the amount of money saved by going the county college route.

It's also becoming more and more popular to either (1) attend remotely or (2) attend a satellite campus. SHU has the nursing undergraduate program in Freehold. Rutgers has programs at community colleges all throughout the State, where you can take all of your classes (2 years at county college, 2 years at Rutgers) on site at the county college or online and still earn a RU degree. NJCU tried to open a campus at Fort Monmouth that almost killed the school financially, but they had the right idea. All of these schools allow a student to commute to a school or program that they may not have been able to in the past. The challenge for SHU and other private schools will be to attract qualified students who are becoming risk-adverse to accumulating student-loan debt.

This is a crazy chat stream.

Both my wife and I along with ALL of my family members and their future spouses, attended and graduated from Seton Hall in the early to mid 80s. The SH Prep was still on campus. We had a bubble in a parking lot for our recreational facility. Comparing that to the current state of the campus is apples and oranges. We also had a basketball team that was at the bottom of the conference year after year after year. We would pack Walsh and had a great time enjoying our college experience, thankful that we had one.

To read about the graduates from the mid 2000s and their disdain for the school is heartbreaking. I hope that changes as time passes with a view toward a glass half full view of the school.

As for hoops, we've had a terrific 10 year run or so and last year we turned lemons into lemonade by winning the NIT. While we all wanted to go to the big dance, the school did a terrific job maximizing the experience. If you didn't attend, you missed a nice bonding experience with the school.

By any measure our coach is terrific and he's well suited for the school. He's not perfect. Whether going to games, contributing or just providing positive support on a message board, one way or another, lets show support. No one is happy but we will get through this and despite the nightly drones, the world's not coming to an end, and I suspect the school's not firing either the coach or the AD.

Thank you. A rare sane poster.
