1. Apologies for this misnomer

I wanted to title this the Not Top 20 but ESPN has the copyright on that name.

Barrack and Pelosi didn’t want Harris?

Can’t go out there with Wusu or Dual at PG. it’s horrendous and insulting.

As much as people say we don’t have a PG. What we really don’t have is a PF. Aligbe is new to the sport I presume and Toumi is a walking foul, turnover or terrible shot. Gus is a D3 player. He gets slower and slower every game.

So we can either go small and play zone on defense.

Felton
Jenkins
Coleman
Middleton
Ehrierene

Or go big and hope we get a lot of offensive reboubds

Felton
Jenkins
Coleman
Ehrierene
Okorafor

Either way, Felton has to play and a lot. Having him handle the ball should help open things up for Jenkins.

What do we have to lose. Can’t put Wusu, Dual and Aligne out there that do nothing but clog the lane and throw up a prayer

Stop making excuses for Sha. The seat is beginning to warm. This is entirely on him. An NIT is not something to be proud of for a big east school.

If we want to be a serious program we need to leave Felt in Charleston. This is an embarrassment of epic proportions where this team is at two season removed from Sha’s run and teams performance last year.

We don’t have the right leadership to handle what’s being asked in todays environment and if this doesn’t change I would bail if I was Holloway without specific guarantees from a NIL perspective.

Remember there are games upcoming that are peacock only

Whoever reviewed the videos on this motley crew before signing them must have not been wearing his glasses. There at least five that are not remotely close to first line Big East players. His name is Prince but he is more like a court jester, yes, pun intended. Toumi is bad in all aspects of the game. How do you say, brick in French? Garway has a Dual personality, but unfortunately, neither is that of a good basketball player. Gus seems like a nice kid, but I hope he has a return ticket on the bus. When signed, it was implied that he was a Robbie Avila type. They are both chubby, but that's where the resemblance ends. Get on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on Sha. We knew about Zion Harmon from his previous recruitment, so there is no excuse for not doing due diligence. If we win 10 games with this group it will be a minor miracle.

FWIW, he posted on instagram “LLD” followed by a Dove emoji.

LL stands for long live. D could be a name.

Hopefully it’s not what it seems..

And do a bottom 10? 😂

Can’t have this kind of stuff with an improved NIL. Losses to Fordham, Hofstra, and 0-8 Monmouth? Having amongst the worst offensive numbers in the country? This is pathetic and embarrassing. Sha may be a good coach, but he’a proving to be a disaster in roster building.

Thankfully the transfer rule kept us from losing some players before last year and we had Richmond in the program.

NEWARK, N.J. — Despite Isaiah Coleman tying his career-high in points, the Seton Hall men's basketball team fell to Monmouth, 63-51, in their first game at The Rock in nearly a month.

Isaiah Coleman tied his career-high in points with 20 (8-of-13 from the field, 3-of-7 from three) for the Pirates (4-4), while Garwey Dual recorded a career-high in steals with five. The Hawks (1-8) had one of their best shooting days of the season from three (10-of-21, 47.6%), while Pirates struggled from the field (19-of-52, 35.8%).

How It Happened

In their first game back at the Prudential Center since the season opener against Saint Peter's on November 4, the Pirates began the game in a fashion familiar. Through the first 5:30 of play, The Hall would pull out a 7-6 lead while holding Monmouth to two-of-seven shooting from the field. An Isaiah Coleman and-one jumper would extend the lead to 12-8 and increasing his points tally to a team-leading five with 12:12 remaining in the half.

The Hawks fought back against the Pirates off the back of strong shooting from Abdi Bashir Jr. Monmouth went on a 18-6 run, with Bashir providing 11 points of those points, helping the Hawks to a 26-18 lead with 5:07 remaining in the half. Off the back of strong defense from players like Garwey Dual, the Pirates would regain the lead at 27-26 after Dual turned his second steal of the half into a layup with 1:31 left. Despite that, Monmouth would head into the half up 29-27 after Abdi Bashir Jr. netted his fourth three-pointer of the half with 38 seconds left on the clock.

After Chaunce Jenkins drew first blood to open the second half and draw the game even, Monmouth began the half in the same form they ended the first half in. The Hawks would shot 4-of-5 from the field and watch their lead grow to 39-29 with 17:25 remaining in the second half. For the second-straight game, Isaiah Coleman continued to take over for the Pirates and draw them back into this matchup. He and David Tubek helped the Pirates go on a 9-3 run, reducing the Pirates deficit to 42-38 with 13 minutes still on the clock.

With the game close, Monmouth pushed the Pirates to past the limit. The Hawks stymied the Pirates' offense as they went on a 13-4 run over the next eight minutes, going up 57-42 with 4:50 remaining. With under five minutes remaining, the Pirates at their largest deficit of the game, totaling 15 points. Despite that, Coleman and Jenkins would reduce their gap to the Hawks to 12 points. However, the Pirates could not get closer and fell to Monmouth 63-51.

QUEENS, N.Y. (Nov. 30, 2024) – Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca ‘50C, ‘60Ged, ‘00HON, who led the St. John’s men’s basketball team for 24 seasons and endeared himself to generations of New Yorkers with his wit and warmth, passed away on Saturday surrounded by family. He was 99 years old.

The legendary head coach leaves behind his beloved wife of 73 years, Mary, as well as his cherished family – daughter Enes, son-in-law Gerard (Jerry), granddaughter Ieva and her fiancé Frank, his dear niece and nephew, Susan Chiesa, John Chiesa and his wife, Nancy – as well as his extended family and his closest friends join them in their loss.

A 1992 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, “Looie” led St. John’s to 24 winning campaigns in 24 seasons at the helm from 1965-70 and 1973-92. His teams advanced to the postseason each year, appearing in the NCAA Tournament 18 times while registering six National Invitation Tournament (NIT) appearances. Those postseason berths were highlighted by an appearance in the 1985 Final Four and the program’s fifth NIT title in 1989. His teams also recorded an additional pair of Elite Eight appearances in 1979 and 1991.

Carnesecca was named the National Coach of the Year twice, BIG EAST Coach of the Year three times and Metropolitan Coach of the Year six times during his storied career. He led St. John’s to a pair of BIG EAST titles in 1983 and 1986 and his teams produced a 112-65 regular-season record against tough BIG EAST competition, tying for three regular-season titles and winning one outright.

Overall, Carnesecca registered a 526-200 mark, winning at least 20 games 18 times in 24 seasons as the head coach at St. John’s with a career winning percentage of .725, good enough for one of the top 100 marks in Division I history. His teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for 161 weeks during his career, including more than 70 as one of the top 10 teams in the nation.

A native New Yorker, Carnesecca graduated from St. Ann’s Academy in Manhattan (now Archbishop Molloy) before enlisting the United States Coast Guard during World War II. Upon returning home from the Pacific, Carnesecca enrolled at St. John’s, graduating in 1950. As an undergraduate, Carnesecca played on the St. John’s baseball team that advanced to the 1949 College World Series. Also on that team was Jack Kaiser, Carnesecca’s lifelong friend who would also go on to dedicate his professional life to St. John’s as both its baseball coach and athletic director.

Upon graduation, Carnesecca took over the reins at St. Ann’s and built the team into a powerhouse, winning two CHSAA titles. In 1958, Carnesecca handed over the program to another coaching legend, Jack Curran, in order to take a position on the staff of his mentor, Joe Lapchick, at St. John’s.

Over the next eight seasons on Lapchick’s staff, Carnesecca helped lead St. John’s to a pair of NIT titles in 1959 and 1965. Following Lapchick’s retirement in 1965, Carnesecca was named the 12th head coach in St. John’s men’s basketball history. His first five seasons at the helm were highlighted with trips to the NCAA Tournament regional semifinals in 1967 and 1969, as well as advancing to the NIT Championship game in 1970.

In 1970, Carnesecca left St. John’s for three years to coach the New York Nets of the American Basketball Association. During his tenure in the professional ranks, he took the Nets to the playoffs in each of his three seasons, reaching the finals of the league championship in 1972.

Carnesecca returned to his alma mater in 1973, beginning a transformative period in the history of the program that featured the birth of the BIG EAST Conference, of which St. John’s remains a charter member. In addition to his sweaters providing the sartorial highlights of the league’s early heyday, Carnesecca was also an early champion of the league alongside its founder, Dave Gavitt.

Carnesecca once said, “at St. John’s, it’s all about the players.” In his four decades coaching at his alma mater, Carnesecca coached more than 40 NBA Draft picks including first rounders LeRoy Ellis (1962), Sonny Dove (1967), John Warren (1969), Mel Davis (1973), George Johnson (1978), Chris Mullin (1985), Bill Wennington (1985), Walter Berry (1986), Mark Jackson (1987), Jayson Williams (1990) and Malik Sealy (1992). Carnesecca remained an integral part in the lives of his former players, as his annual reunions drew hundreds of them to Queens.

Memorial services for the longtime St. John’s head coach will be announced as they become available.

An empty the bench type game where we finally hit 70

SHU 74
Monmouth 52

I can assure you and say no chance in hell UConn goes back to Maui in the Hurley era

This has got to be on it…..right?

Any game we win by some miracle, including VCU, will be featured as a “bad loss” for any bubble team come March

“Just low energy all week, we didn’t really come out like we really wanted to be there,” Coleman said. (emphasis mine)

I appreciate Shaheen trying to get players that fit the way he wants the team to play, but you have to have players who can put the friggin ball in the basket. We are a poorly put together team and this is on Shaheen. I don’t want to hear about NIL. By all accounts we have sufficient funds to compete. This is a Moneyball type of game. Get players who have a history of having good FG% and make sure you have enough guys who can shoot the 3.

Shaheen needs a sounding board with good Basketball knowledge. A good leader has the self awareness to know when their thinking needs to be validated. It sure as hell isn’t going to be Bryan Felt. Seems like a great role for someone like PJ to play or maybe even his old coach George Blaney, Fred Hill, etc..
