A completely preposterous and illogical claim by the most entitled coach I can think of, someone who confuses basking in the shine of a great conference with having done much of anything to contribute to it.

Claim.
On the other hand, I'm pleased with Quick Rick using his platform to tout the Big East's strength. He exists in a separate ZIP Code from any integrity, but he has a megaphone, so he might as well use it.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Despite strong offensive opportunities, Seton Hall's men soccer team fell 1-0 at Owen T. Carroll Field against St. John's in a BIG EAST matchup with BIG EAST championship implications.
The Pirates opened the first half exchanging physicals blows with St. John's as the teams levied fouls on each other. The Red Storm struck first with a 25th minute goal off of a penalty kick, but the Pirates fought to respond. The Pirates outshot their opposition 4-1 in the second half, but did not find the back of the net, ending the match in a 1-0 defeat. This was the Pirates' first home loss of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The beginning stages of this match were befitting of a BIG EAST rivalry as both teams combined for seven fouls in the first 23 minutes. In the 24th minute, the Pirates got their first opportunity when Tim Ströbeck went streaking down the field toward the Red Storm's keeper. The Hassleholm, Sweden, native launched a shot which the keeper ultimately saved, but it began the Pirates' run of pressure.
In the 25th minute, St. John's drew a penalty kick after The Hall's Virgil Dall'Agnoll was given a yellow card for a handball in the box off a corner kick. St. John's Martin Kozak converted the kick to put the Red Storm up 1-0, despite keeper Soren Jensen nearly saving the ball.
In an effort to even the score, the Pirates moved toward a more offensive stance heading into the second half and found early success. Both Til Kauschke and Nico Rubio had good offensive opportunities in the first 20 minutes, but their shots either went wide or were saved. The Pirates attempted to finally find the back of the net in the last ten minutes, but the Red Storm shut down the Pirates to end the match with an 1-0 defeat.

Seton Hall on a mission to prove the doubters wrong again
It has become routine for Shaheen Holloway. His teams are typically overlooked. It happened at Saint Peter’s and it’s happening at Seton Hall.

It has become routine for Shaheen Holloway.
His teams are typically overlooked.
They are dismissed.
It happened at Saint Peter’s and it’s happening at Seton Hall.
Last year, Seton Hall was picked to finish ninth in the Big East by the league’s coaches and they were one of the big surprises of the season by coming in fourth and winning the NIT.
A year later, nothing has changed.
The Pirates are projected to be 10th, ahead of only perennial doormat DePaul.
Now, it should be noted, Seton Hall did lose star players Kadary Richmond (St. John’s) and Dre Davis (Ole Miss) to the transfer portal.
Al-Amir Dawes is playing professionally in Greece.
The roster is almost completely new, the lone key returnees are Dylan Addae-Wusu and Isaiah Coleman.
It’s difficult to predict Seton Hall.
“It is what it is, brother,” Holloway said on Wednesday as the Big East held media day at the Garden. “People got time to sit around and pick other people’s teams, it’s kind of nuts. I’m not worried about nobody else. … You know me, I don’t really care if we’re [picked] first or last. Oh well.
“It doesn’t mean anything. It’s preseason. I just care about my team. You know me, you know my teams, we get better as the year goes on. So right now, I’m not happy where we are, but I think we’re going to be really good. I think we have a chance.”
Holloway doesn’t want anyone feeling bad for Seton Hall after it was hurt by the transfer portal, and he doesn’t expect any sympathy, either.
It’s the way of the sport now.
Plus, he seems to like what he has.
He sees depth, more options at point guard than last year’s team had and potential in this group.
Two of the key newcomers, Scotty Middleton (Ohio State) and Garwey Dual (Providence), didn’t have big freshmen seasons at their former schools, but they were highly regarded, four-star prospects.
“Scotty and ‘G’ have something to prove, to themselves and everybody else,” Holloway said. “With me, they got a fresh start, a new start. I’m curious to see how they take advantage of it.”
Coleman has been encouraged so far.
He believes there is more talent on this roster than last year’s NIT champion, despite Richmond and Davis moving on.
Perhaps most importantly, it’s a group of guys with a desire to improve, and now they’ll have even extra motivation.
“The guys, they’re hungry to get in the gym and just get better. Guys are hitting me, you trying to get some shots up, trying to get this workout in,’” Coleman said. “Guys are itching to get in the gym. That’s good to know.”
It’s part of why Holloway is “intrigued” by this team, a group of players with a chip on their shoulders.
Then again, the Pirates are even a mystery to him.
But there is reason to believe the man who took tiny Saint Peter’s to the Elite Eight and overachieved a year ago with the Pirates will maximize the roster’s talent.
At this time last year, nobody expected much out of Seton Hall, and look how that turned out.
