NY post back page you would't know a game was played

Is there any update on Richmond's back injury??

Nice little run for Viv-Fake as he now caters to Trump with hope of a position in the admin

Wall Street types

16 pts, 10 reb., 5 asst.

Take that Rick!

How many of the starters have any elligibility left?

We know Gary Parrish is no fan of us or the big east. He had no choice in moving seton hall to 26 after we clobbered St. John’s. No mention of that in his update. At least it’s good for press and national awareness to be in his crappy poll.

and the team takes after him. after that 3pt foul he pulled the team in and said they are WINNING this game, regardless of what the refs do. got them in a group dap and went out and won the game. this doesnt happen in the past. we let it beat us.

that 3pt foul for posh basically sealed the victory for shu. think about that. look at the plays following it. out toughed a team that was toughing you for a bunch of the game.

I was actually more exited about the interview portion of this episode then the Seton Hall Talk. Lattrell talks about how the St. Peters team still talks and how they were all at the UConn game rooting Sha and the Hall on.

Sha really is a class act and deserves all his succuss.

I may have missed it. Is tonight’s game a sellout?

no brainer the next 5 games present an opportunity to make or brake the season. Gotta think we wont win them all or lose them all. what is everyone feeling? im guessing we go 2-3, which imo is a good result considering the competition. think our turnovers will catch up for a few games.

5-0: im dreaming, talking about tournament lock and what seeding we would be
4-1: still dreaming and setting yourself and strong tournament resume for an 8/9 seed (at the moment)
3-2: great result and and will likely see us on every mock bracket
2-3: still a good result imo and stay on the same trajectory
1-4: this will be disappointing and set the team up for must win situations ahead.
0-5: lost all momentum

NEW YORK -- Dan Hurley may be a fan of Gonzaga potentially joining the Big East Conference, but Rick Pitino most certainly is not.

“100 percent, no,” Pitino said in response to a question from NJ Advance Media following St. John’s emphatic 77-55 beatdown of Fordham on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

“I don’t feel like getting on a plane for five or six hours. Tell (Hurley) he could go join their conference. But if they want to join for basketball only, hey, let’s do it.”

The issue was revived this weekend when Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman was in attendance Friday night in Seattle when defending NCAA champion UConn beat Gonzaga, 76-63.

“Not putting any pressure on Gonzaga to join a great basketball league but, um, yeah...” Hurley told reporters in Seattle.

“If we could get a program of Gonzaga’s caliber to come into the Big East,” Hurley had said ahead of the game, “obviously we could really use another big-time program to strengthen the league, the TV contracts and everything that goes into it, we should just suck it up.

“It would certainly be worth it just for the basketball boost that it would give to our conference,” added Hurley, the Jersey City native and former Seton Hall guard.

Ackerman told the New York Post at Big East media day that she remains in touch with Gonzaga and that the school -- which, along with UConn, has been linked to the Big 12 as well -- would be a great fit for the Big East.

“There’s no better fit for Gonzaga than the Big East,” Ackerman said. “If you look at the kind of school they are, basketball focus, their enrollment, their budget, it’s totally on point.”

As for Pitino, he has said several times he is opposed to realignment where it involves student-athletes having to make cross-country trips to compete. Stanford and Cal are set to join the Atlantic Coast Conference while Rutgers next year will be in the Big Ten Conference along with UCLA and USC.

“I think it’s the most absurd thing what’s going on in the world of college sports, it’s totally absurd,” Pitino told ZAGSBLOG in September.

“They don’t even care about women’s sports, minor sports. They’re just saying you’ve gotta travel, so everybody’s going to be sitting in an airport with their flight delayed while football and basketball are taking their private planes.”

Does anybody know how teams handle travel for situations like the upcoming Creighton schedule?

Assuming they are going to take the 3 hour flight, play UConn, take a three hour flight back and then come back on the 3 hour flight to play Seton hall on Saturday.

Or do they get a hotel for Wed -Saturday?

Seton Hall entered Tuesday evening’s matchup against St. John’s as home underdogs despite winning four straight, seven of their last eight and receiving more votes in the most recent Associated Press Top 25 poll – ranking 28th versus 36th for their local rival.

That did not matter one bit as Seton Hall (13-5, 6-1) played with a chip on its shoulder and emerged victorious, dominating St. John’s (12-6, 4-3) from start to finish, 80-65, in front of 9,204 fans at the Prudential Center.

With the win, the Pirates have won 19 of 21 home contests against the Johnnies dating back to 1998, including 13 of 14 at the Prudential Center since its opening in 2007.

The Hall jumped out to an early 6-0 advantage, holding St. John’s scoreless on 0/10 shooting from field in the first five minutes of the game, and extended the lead to 13-2 with 13 minutes remaining in the opening half.

The Red Storm, who were without hall of fame Head Coach Rick Pitino due to COVID, held the Pirates scoreless over the next four minutes to cut the deficit to 13-12. Daniss Jenkins knocked down a corner three with just over four minutes remaining in the half to knot the game up at 24-24 before Seton Hall went on a run to quite literally run away with the game.

“I know at the under four-minute timeout, I told our guys that we’ve got to go on a good run to make sure they don’t come back ... I said, let’s get three stops in a row, three scores. I thought we did that and then it kind of carried over to the second half,” Head Coach Shaheen Holloway said, in the post-game presser.

The Pirates reeled off a 14-0 run to close the half with plenty of highlights to go around – a dunk from junior center Elijah Hutchins-Everett off the dish from senior guard Kadary Richmond, a steal from graduate guard Al-Amir Dawes that led to a pull-up three in transition, an offensive rebound from Hutchins-Everett that resulted in a corner three from senior guard Dylan Addae-Wusu to prompt a St. John’s timeout and a steal by Hutchins-Everett that led to a full court outlet pass from Wusu to senior forward Dre Davis for a layup in the closing seconds.

The Pirates kept the good times rolling to start the second half as they proceeded to reel off another 14-0 run in the first four minutes to take a commanding 52-24 lead, which they would not relinquish.

The second half run was sparked in large part by St. John’s transfer Addae-Wusu, who began the run by drilling a three that was assisted by graduate center Jaden Bediako. Addae-Wusu proceeded to assist on back-to-back threes by Hutchins-Everett and Dawes before beating his man back door for an and-one layup.

“He came out and played. He was ready, and I thought it was a carryover. I thought he had a good game at Butler, and I think he came in and kind of set the tone, got his hands on a lot of balls, scoring, driving to the basket, hitting threes,” Holloway said of Addae-Wusu after the game.

Seton Hall, which five players in double figures, was led by Dawes’ 21 points on 3/5 shooting from long distance, while Addae-Wusu notched a double-double scoring 16 points, securing 10 rebounds to go along with five assists.

Hutchins-Everett had his best performance as a Pirate, coming off the bench to record 14 points, including one triple, seven rebounds, two assists and a steal in 18 minutes of action.

“I’m happy for him. He’s been working really hard, he could shoot the basketball, we all knew that. When I say we all knew that, I mean the team knew that, he kind of worked at it. I’m happy with his defense and his rebounding. Once you do that, everything else takes care of itself. He did that, he battled — especially [Joel] Soriano, one of the best bigs in the country,” Holloway said.

Richmond finished with 12 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks, while Davis tallied 10 points, six rebounds and two steals.

“Kadary didn’t have a great game offensively, and then we come out and we still score 80 points. Dre had 10 and Kadary had 12, but other guys stepped up. That’s the sign of a team that’s trending in the right direction, and that’s kind of what I want to be happening. I’m happy that we were able to keep this team under a certain amount of points. That’s kind of who I am as a coach, a defensive coach,” Holloway said.

Seton Hall outrebounded St. John’s 49-28, recorded more second chance points 19 to 12 and led fast break points 10 to 4.

The home team, which is in sole possession of first place in the Big East until at least tomorrow evening when top ranked UConn plays 18th ranked Creighton, led for 38:50.

The Hall returns to action at home on Saturday when they host Creighton at noon.
