Our Onward Setonia Volunteer Tribute has raised $26,875 in 16 days, unlocking the $25,000 pledged by a dedicated SHU alumnus. The total raised through March 5th is $51,875. This is an amazing accomplishment achieved in just 16 days, and we wouldn't have done it without the support of our loyal alumni and fans.

A second alumnus has taken notice of the support of our many contributors, and has pledged to add $10,000 to our total when we reach $60,000 in cumulative contributions. We're just $8,125 shy of $60,000 and our campaign concludes on Friday, April 5th.

GO PIRATES!!!

The Seton Hall men’s basketball team was blown off the floor in Storrs, Conn. Sunday afternoon, falling 91-61 to the #3 UConn Huskies in their final road regular season game of the season.

The Pirates (18-11, 11-7) took an 18-14 lead midway through the first half before being outscored 30-11 to end the first frame and 77-43 the remainder of the contest, a victory that saw UConn (26-3, 16-2) claim its first outright Big East regular season title since 1999 in a revenge game against the Hall, which took the first meeting on Dec. 20 in Newark, N.J.

The Pirates opened up with a solid defensive possession before a step-back Al-Amir Dawes three-pointer gave the Hall an early 3-0 lead. After an 18-4 UConn run eviscerated that 18-14 lead Pirate, another Dawes three-pointer off an in-bounds play would pull the Pirates back within 7 at 32-25 before the Huskies’ methodical dismantling had them cruising into the half up 15.

UConn got double-doubles from both Tristen Newton, 17 points and 10 assists, and Donovan Clingan, who tallied 19 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. Star freshman Stephon Castle paced all scorers with 21 points on 9-12 shooting, while Alex Karaban rounded out the Huskies in double-figure scoring with 13 points.

Dre Davis paced the Pirates with 20 points and 3 steals, while Kadary Richmond chipped in 15 points and Dylan Addae-Wusu and Al-Amir Dawes tallied 10 and 8 points, respectively.

The Hall shot 37.7% from the floor, including 5-16 for 31.3% from beyond the arc, while shooting 16-19 from the free throw line. Meanwhile, UConn shot 55.9% and knocked down 6-18 three-pointers.

The Pirates were outrebounded 38-26, including 13 offensive rebounds allowed, and gave up 52 points in the paint, with the Huskies assisting on 23 of 33 baskets compared to just 4 of 20 for the Pirates.

The Hall now faces what very may well be a do-or-die game for a potential tournament berth on Wednesday night against Villanova in Newark. The Wildcats have moved into 5th place in the Big East and stand a game back of the Pirates in the conference standings.

Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.

I have just been contacted by a person willing to donate an amount needed up to $2500.00 if we can get to $22,500.00 before the Nova game Wed.

This is not a preplanned gimmick. Instead, as noted I just found out about this with the potential donor not wanting me to post his name.

Both he and I will keep track of the total on this thread.

Pls do what you can do. That's a lot of money to give to the school, and it will complete our $25K match in less than 3 weeks.

2 of the top 3 seeds are out

Everyone who was not far left knew or should have known leaving Trump off the ballot for crime he isn’t charged with was a joke.I am sure the liberal judges are patting themselves on the back as good boy never Trumpers.I guess they felt the ends justified the means,but even if you have far left creeds you can’t make law as a judge.

NEW YORK – The BIG EAST Conference on Tuesday announced the creation of the BIG EAST Basketball Legends Recognition Program. Each of the Conference's 11 member schools were tasked with selecting a former prominent coach or player from both their men's and women's programs to be honored at the upcoming BIG EAST Tournaments. The program will be conducted annually.

Women's basketball Legends will be recognized during the BIG EAST Tournament Quarterfinals on March 9 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Men's basketball Legends will be honored during each team's first game of the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with the First Round on March 13 and Quarterfinals on March 14.

"We are excited to launch this annual celebration of former players and coaches who have had profound impacts on the history and success of our 22 basketball programs," said BIG EAST Commissioner Val Ackerman. "This first group of BIG EAST Legends includes trailblazers as well as more recent stars, all of whom have contributed significantly to their schools and many of whom are part of BIG EAST basketball lore. We look forward to giving them another big round of applause during our upcoming tournament festivities."

Jodi Brooks, whose number 12 was retired shortly after graduation, helped elevate the women's basketball program to a new level. In 1994, she led the Pirates to their best season ever with a 27-5 record, an NCAA Tournament berth and run to the Sweet Sixteen, and a finish as the No. 14 team in the national rankings. As a senior, she averaged 18.6 points, was named New Jersey and Metropolitan Player of the Year, received an honorable mention All-America selection and was named to the NCAA Midwest Regional All-Tournament Team. Brooks was a two-time All-BIG EAST and CoSIDA Academic All-District selection, and, at the time of her induction, was the only Seton Hall player to record over 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, and 200 steals.

Dehere is still Seton Hall's all-time scorer with 2,494 points and ranks fifth in the BIG EAST is career scoring in league games with 1,320 points. As a senior in 1992-93, the sharpshooting guard was BIG EAST Player of the Year and Most Outstanding Player in the BIG EAST Tournament leading the Pirates to the tourney title and a top-10 national ranking. The Hall also won the BIG EAST tourney title in his sophomore season. The Los Angeles Clippers chose Dehere in the first round of the 1993 NBA Draft.

Uconn is more talented and a better team than Seton Hall but it is the way that Seton Hall played especially on defense that was as Sha said embarrassing . We would still lose to Uconn but if we played decent D it would not have been a 30 point slaughter . There is no defense to the lack of defense .

I replayed the first 10 minutes of the game and here is what I saw and what Raf make some comments on .
First basket . Davis watched the ball and loses Castle for an easy basket
Second basket. Richmond loses Castle in pick and roll .
Third basket. Good D but Uconn scores .
Fourth basket. Bediako loses Clingan on pick and roll .
Fifth basket. Bediako loses Johnson on pick and roll and Johnson passes to Diarra for layup . Diarra was open because Richmond watched the ball and not Diarra who cut to the basket .
Sixth basket . Hutchins-Everett loses Johnson on pick and roll .
Next play . Hutchins-Everett loses Johnson on pick and roll and fouls Johnson .
Seventh basket . Bediako loses Clingan on pick and roll .

All those easy uncontested layups in the first 10 minutes and it continued for the next 30 minutes . You can't make it that easy on a good team like Uconn . This was a lack of fundamentals .

Seems like many on here are terrified of Nova coming to OUR HOME ..... relax

Iowa Hawkeye’s hoops star Caitlin Clark is box office, and Jim Boeheim is willing to fight for her honor as the best player in the history of women’s college basketball.

“Some expert says, ‘Well, she hasn’t won a championship.’ If I ever see that guy, I’ll just punch him,” the legendary Syracuse men’s basketball coach said on Dan Dakich’s “Don’t @ me” show. “Unless he’s really big. I won’t do it if he’s really big. But, these people, how do they even get jobs saying stuff like that?”

In the interview, Boeheim also mentions that Clark was the only player he turns on the TV for in men’s or women’s basketball at the college and professional levels.

It would appear that Boeheim was calling out former Duke great Jay Williams for his comments regarding Clark, in which he refused to call her “great” setting that term aside for championship winners.

Standing at 6-foot-3, Boeheim could have a slight height advantage over Williams in a fight, but Williams is nearly half his age at 42 versus the legendary coach’s 79.

“I think she is the Stephen Curry of women’s college basketball,” Williams said on ESPN College Gameday on Feb. 17. “I am unwilling, and maybe it’s more the Kobe mentorship around me, to say that she is great yet. I think she is the most prolific scorer the game has ever seen. I hold great for the levels of immortality or the pantheon to when you win championships. That’s just me.”

Williams went on to say Diana Taurasi was his women’s college basketball GOAT, “White Mamba,” with three consecutive NCAA championships at UConn alongside coach Geno Auriemma.

“You know, there should be certain things you say that disqualifies you from ever being on radio or TV again,” Boeheim continued. “And to bring that up with Caitlin Clark or Karl Malone or John Stockton or people like that, they make their teams so much better. And without them, the Utah Jazz wouldn’t have won too many games without those two guys.”

It is unlikely that Boeheim truly didn’t know it was Williams, a Duke great who won the national title in 2001; but the legendary Orange coach never actually faced the Blue Devils during his three-year stay at the college.

He was 13 hanging out with Blassie, Albano and The Grand Wizard now 58 and WWE hall of fame in Philly where he turned the business upsides down with ECW
