NIT heading into the Big East Tournament

Saw him at a game a few weeks ago, but not sure if there is any hope here. Wonder what his asking price is given what Ty-Laur got from Memphis. @Halldan1 ?

I am in the process of setting up an interview with Bryan Felt re the NIL efforts of the school. It should happen quickly so post your questions here.

And please, no wise guy responses. This is legit and will allow you the answers you seek.

Official. We can stop asking.

South Orange, N.J. – Seton Hall softball head coach Angie Churchill has announced the 2023 schedule, featuring a total of 48 games against 25 different opponents.

The Pirates finished 20-23 overall and 9-14 in the BIG EAST in their first season under Churchill in 2022, finishing sixth in the league. Taylor Hill (Little Falls, N.J.) was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Year after batting .449 with three home runs and a conference-record 12 doubles during league play. Hill was also named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, while teammates Ashly Colonnetta (Cypress, Calif.) and Shelby Smith (Friendswood, Texas) received second-team honors. All three players return for the Pirates in 2023.

The Pirates will face 17 non-conference opponents this spring, eight of which finished with a winning record in 2022. The Hall will also square off against a pair of teams who made the NCAA Tournament last season in Lehigh and Villanova.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

• Seton Hall opens the 2023 season at the Black & Gold Tournament at Southern Miss, where the Pirates will play two games against both the Golden Eagles as well as Samford. The Bulldogs improved by 16 wins from 2021 to 2022 en route to the No. 2 seed in the SOCON Tournament.
• The following weekend sees the Pirates head to the Presbyterian Invitational in Clinton, S.C., where the Pirates will face a trio of non-conference opponents. The Pirates will face Appalachian State and IUPUI twice on the weekend, while playing hosts Presbyterian once. The games against IUPUI and Presbyterian will be the first in program history.
• After a weekend off, the Pirates begin March with a trip to Lubbock, Texas to take part in the Texas Tech Invitational. Seton Hall will face the Red Raiders on Friday and Saturday, while the Pirates' tournament schedule is bookended with matchups against North Dakota on Friday and Sunday mornings. Sandwiched in the middle is a showdown with in-state rival Rutgers, as the teams will meet for the 65th time in their history. Last season, the Pirates defeated the Scarlet Knights for the first time since 2009 with a 5-3 win in Piscataway.
• The remainder of the non-conference slate features home doubleheaders with Manhattan (March 15), Rider (April 5) and Fairleigh Dickinson (April 19). The Pirates will also pay visits to Monmouth (March 28), Stony Brook (March 29), a three-game series at Lehigh (April 7-8), Drexel (April 11), Marist (April 18) and UAlbany (April 26).
• The Pirates open BIG EAST play with a three-game series at reigning-regular season champion UConn, March 10-12. Seton Hall will also travel to Creighton (March 24-26), DePaul (April 14-16) and Providence (April 21-23) in league action.
• Last year's BIG EAST Tournament champion Villanova will come to South Orange for the penultimate series of the season, April 28-30. This will be one of four BIG EAST series in which the Pirates play host, the others being Georgetown (March 17-19), St. John's (March 31-April 2) and Butler (May 5-7).
• The BIG EAST Tournament will be hosted by UConn from May 10-13. New this season, the top six teams in the conference standings will qualify for the tournament. Last season, the Pirates finished sixth in the BIG EAST.

Inside look of UNC Athletic Department

Quick Summary:

-UNC Athletic Department is struggling with other team budgets due to NIL. Boosters and collectives are forgoing donations to general athletic fund and other sports are losing out big time because the money is just going to athletes that play football or men's basketball. Athletic departments are now trying to figure out how to involve other sports with collectives. Which is why they want control or a say with collectives (SHU)

-5* Athletes are getting what we thought with promises of $500k++

-Third parties being hired to poach athletes from other teams with promises of more money

-Proposed transfer rules tightening with NIL money inolved

-Sponsorship are colliding. Team wears Nike but on the weekends that player can also get a deal for Adidas

That's what I got for now. The UNC AD saying this isn't easy so I'm curious on what Felt says this week

-

Schools are going to lose some of the donations that went to athletic departments as the boosters fund NIL. Look for serious funding issues for many schools and the non revenue programs.

Jerry has an interview with FDU coach, Tobin Anderson. Really fun listen.

Sha'Lynn Hagans (Manassas, Va.) had 10 points and five rebounds.

Senior Mya Bembry (West Orange, N.J.) had eight points and seven rebounds, while Kae Satterfield (New York, N.Y.) tallied eight points and five rebounds.

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Hoyas: Seton Hall leads, 44-29
Earlier This Season:
Seton Hall 72, Georgetown 62 (F) – December 28, 2022 (Walsh Gym)

EARLIER THIS YEAR AGAINST GEORGETOWN
The Hall used a 17-2 run in the fourth quarter to rally past Georgetown, 72-62, on Dec. 28 in Walsh Gym for its eighth victory in the prior last nine games.

The Pirates trailed 54-50 with 8:39 left in the game, but went on a furious run over the next 6:06 to grab a commanding 67-56 advantage with just 2:33 to go. Park-Lane had 12 of her game-high 23 points in the fourth quarter alone, including a pair of timely three-pointers.

Park-Lane also had a game-high eight assists, adding to her Seton Hall career record. Cooks had 17 points on 8-for-13 shooting and pulled down six rebounds.

SCOUTING GEORGETOWN
This year, the Hoyas were picked to finish tied for ninth in the BIG EAST Preseason coaches' poll. The Hoyas lost just two starters to graduation and return a talented group battling for minutes including graduate student Kristina Moore, senior Graceann Bennett, junior Kelsey Ransom and sophomore Brianna Scott. Ransom was second on the team in scoring a season ago, averaging 12.0 ppg as well as 4.0 apg. She also ranked second in the league in steals per game with 2.5 to her credit.

The Hoyas enter Wednesday's contest with a 10-9 mark overall and a 3-7 record in BIG EAST play. Georgetown had lost five straight, a streak started by the Pirates on Dec. 28, before defeating DePaul in McDonough Arena last Wednesday, 87-73. Most recently, the Hoyas won at Providence, 61-51, on Saturday. Georgetown is one of the better defensive teams in the BIG EAST, leading the conference with 9.3 steals per game and allowing only 61.1 points per contest.

UP NEXT

In no particular order

1. The bottom 20
You think your job is hard, come up with 20 top moments for yesterday.

2. Expletive not deleted
Holloway in the post game..."you practice like shit you play like shit"

3. Expletive deleted
The post game ended with Zagoria asking about Yetna. After a response from coach filled with words best not posted here and with a comment that he is through for the year the post game press conference ended.

4. Say what?
Chew on these stats. 50% (3-6) from the arc. 80% (4-5) from the stripe, 58% from the field and yet the Pirates scored 29 points in the first half and were down by 8.

5. Balance is not always good
Every single player other than Sanders who played less than 3 minutes either had 2 or 3 turnovers. That 9 other players.

6. Sacrificial lamb
Give credit to Tyrese Samuel. He took the bullet appearing in the post game by himself.

7. How many?
4 to be exact. That's how many shot clock violations the team had. And in 3 of those cases they scored almost as the buzzer sounded. Conversely Marquette threw up two ridiculous shots as the shot clock buzzer went off and both hit nothing but net for 5 points. It was that kind of afternoon.

8. The players on the Hall who had good games
Tae Davis. Played a solid 15+ minutes and was only a -3.

9. Not always accurate but this time.....it was
As I saw it the worse player on the court was Dawes as his shot selection was again brutal. 1-6 from the arc and that basket was pure luck as the ball hit the rim bounced high in the air and went in. If not Dawes would have been at -24. As it was he still 'led' the team in that category.

10. Ouch
Twice in the second half Richmond went to the locker room. When asked by Carino what happened we got the usual response from the coach. Ask Tony Testa as Holloway claimed he didn't know anything was wrong with his star point.

FWIW, at around the 8 minute timeout Richmond tried to go back in the game but an assistant coach pulled him back.

11. Questioned answered
I asked Sha if the UConn victory caused a letdown with the players in this game. His response...... "We kind of got back down to earth. The guys got big-headed, and we got humbled quick. That’s what happens when you get big-headed. You get humbled quick."

12. Value the #$%@ing ball
Need I say more? How many unforced turnovers can a team have in a game? And yet we assisted on every basket made in the game but 3.

13. Credit where credit is due
It's not just talent. It's practicing like a vintage Jay Wright Nova team. Every single Marquette player is in constant movement and whomever has the ball knows exactly where his teammates are. I can't even begin to count how many semi blind passes were made to open players yesterday. Some 20 feet or more and a good deal of them crosscourt. That's not by accident.

14. When you're having a tough year.
Harris can't buy a shot this season and even when he hits one from distance it gets waived off as his make came about 1/3 of a second after the shot clock expired.

15. Not only in the stands but on the court
That really wasn't Kam Jones with the #1 uniform on his back for Marquette yesterday. That actually was Jeremy Hazell incognito. Jeremy did double duty as he was also honored by the Hall at halftime.

16. Are you kidding me?
Points off turnovers
Marquette 34
SHU 6
And let's not forgive Marquette here as they had a robust 17 turnovers themselves.

17. If it wasn't Jones it was.....
POTG Ighodaro who didn't miss a field goal attempt while scoring 18 points and also blocking 2 shots, grabbing 6 caroms and being credited with 3 steals. Totally outplayed SHU's two headed center, Samuel and Jackson.

18. Maybe I'm being a little too harsh
Richmond actually wasn't that bad yesterday short of a few silly turnovers. But for the Hall to beat quality teams not that bad isn't going to cut the mustard.

19. The best
I know they're in 2nd place but Marquette right now is the best team in the conference. Call them Villanova light.

20. Bye, (bye)
The Hall is now off for a week and it couldn't come at a better time.

The last 15 seconds of the Duke vs. Virginia Tech college hoops game Monday night had everything: A go-ahead shot, a throat punch, a no-call, and some vomit.

With the game tied at 75 and under 20 seconds left, Hokies guard MJ Collins took a pass near the right baseline, dribbled into the painted area, and hit a short jumper to give Virginia Tech a 77-75 lead. He then cocked his fist back to celebrate – but in the process, ended up punching star Duke freshman Kyle Filipowski directly in the throat.

Filipowski collapsed to the ground, and Collins pulled back his fist immediately upon contact, signaling that it was an accident. The officials reviewed the play and did not call a flagrant foul – or any foul at all.

A flagrant foul would have given Filipowski two free throws, and thus a chance to tie the game.

Filipowski still looked shaken up as the team went back to the sideline, with cameras catching him hunched over in his seat. The 19-year-old apparently even threw up in the huddle.

“Yeah, he just elbowed me right in my Adam’s apple,” Filipowski told reporters after the game. “I couldn’t breathe for a minute, but I just needed to throw up and I was good.”

“He was full-on throwing up and he wasn’t about to be out for a second,” Duke head coach Jon Scheyer added. “He’s a big-time warrior, man.”

Duke’s Tyrese Proctor missed a go-ahead 3-pointer on the ensuing possession and the Blue Devils turned the ball over with their last-gasp attempt after Virginia Tech split a pair of free throws.

Virginia Tech hung on to win the game, 78-75, handing Duke their fourth road loss in five tries away from home. Three of the Blue Devils’ next five games are on the road, including two top-20 teams in Virginia and Miami.

First-place votes in parentheses.​

1. Smart 16-5 - 8-2
Hard to watch the game Saturday and not have him #1

2. Miller 16-4 8-1
Especially with Miller dropping one to DePaul

3. Cooley 15-5 7-2
Sure they lost 2 of their last three. But both were decent efforts on the road against Creighton and Marquette

4. Hurley 16-5 5-5
Tenuous, but a 30 point blowout even against Butler is impressive

5. McDermott 11-8 5-3
Have they righted the ship

6. Holloway 12-9 5-5
Lookin good Wednesday. Not so much 3 days later

7. Anderson 13-7 3-6
Stinker vs SJU after beating UConn on the road

8. Stubblefield 9-11 3-6
Decent week beating Xavier and then losing a reasonably (11 points )close away game at Providence

9. Neptune 10-10 4-5
Righting the ship? Although a close home win vs Georgetown and the painful to watch victory at MSG are nothing to write home about

10. Matta 11-10 3-7
Losing 2 games by a combined total of 51 points usually would have you #11............

11. Ewing 5-15 0-9
.............but that spot is reserved for the worst streak in Big East history. 30 and counting

Purdue, as a thoroughly unimpressive and uninspired #1, is the only representative of the B1G in the Top 25. While I realize there are about half a dozen members of the conference just outside the rankings, this is kinda uncharted territory for the B1G, isn't it? If you had told someone that, halfway through the season, only one B1G team would be ranked, you would get laughed at.

Are voters finally discovering the truth about the B1G???

South Orange, N.J. - Junior guard Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) has been named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll after averaging 14 points, 5.5 rebounds, three assists and two steals in two games for the Seton Hall men's basketball team last week.

This is Richmond's second appearance on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll this season.

Richmond posted a game-high 18 points and pulled down a career-best 10 rebounds in the Pirates' 67-66 victory over No. 15 UConn on Jan. 18. With 1:12 left in the game, Richmond gave The Hall its first lead of the contest on a runner in the lane. He also had 10 points and dished out five assists for the Pirates against Marquette on Jan. 21.

Richmond and the Pirates will return to action this Saturday when Seton Hall travels to Butler for a 4 p.m. contest on FS1.

Wisconsin playing Motor City…Sandro killing it…31 pts 11 rebounds. Rhoden with 7 (0-5 from 3).

seems like zero, emphasis on the zero, buzz on our outlook right now. Did not expect this under Shaheen albeit we know NIL situation is killing us.

Myron Medcalf
ESPN Staff Writer

When he joined Detroit Mercy five years ago to play for his father, Mike Davis, and the Titans, Antoine Davis never imagined he'd be remembered as one of the greatest scorers in NCAA history.

After passing former Portland State star Freeman Williams to climb to No. 2 in points scored in NCAA Division I men's basketball in his team's 89-77 road win over IUPUI on Saturday, Davis said he knows the focus will be on his pursuit of the all-time mark. He admits the idea of pulling off a miracle finish and catching "Pistol" Pete Maravich, the legendary player who scored a Division I-record 3,667 career points in three years at LSU, is something he will have to consider for the rest of the season.

"Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I didn't [think about Maravich's record]," Davis told ESPN after finishing with 42 points, increasing his career total to 3,274 -- 393 away from the record. "It's a big accomplishment. At the end of the day, No. 2 with 3,274 points is something that's never been done either, so I'm just playing and having fun and enjoying this."

Davis, who set the NCAA's D-I career record for 3-pointers made during a win last week against Robert Morris, would have to average 35.7 PPG over the next 11 games to catch Maravich during the regular season. He's averaging 26.2 PPG this season.

While the all-time mark is possible, Davis said he's more focused on winning than anything else.

"That record is untouchable from the standpoint of wanting to win and do it the right way," Davis said. "I can always go out and score points but if I go out there and we're losing, it's not worth it."

With 5:33 to play in the first half of the matchup against IUPUI, Davis passed Williams (3,249 points) to become the No. 2 scorer in college basketball history with the 3,250th point of his career and 18th of the game.

Last summer, Davis entered the transfer portal and considered a move to another school.

Multiple major programs were on his list, including BYU and Maryland, but the veteran said he came back to Detroit Mercy to help the school make a run to the NCAA tournament for the first time in more than a decade (2012).

Davis has never played in the NCAA tournament and he said he would trade any record for an appearance.


But now, he'll be the focus of a scoring pursuit that once seemed impossible.

Maravich averaged 44.2 PPG for three years at LSU in the late 1960s. He did it without a 3-point line.

Davis has been chasing Maravich in a career that started during the 2018-19 season. He has played in 131 games, compared with Maravich's 83. But Maravich averaged 38.1 field goal attempts per game in his career, compared with Davis' 20.5.

Even with a postseason run in the Horizon League tournament and an appearance in the NCAA tournament, Davis would need a heroic effort to pull it off. Either way, he'll enjoy the journey, he said.

"It's still unreal now to even think I'm in the position I am in now, being No. 2," Davis said. "I'm blessed. I'll take it one day at a time."

My God. Woof. 26 turnovers? What?? Wowowowow.

Very disappointing. Regroup with the week off, gotta sweet at Butler, at SJU, DePaul.

Sha has to get his type of players and theyve gotta grow. Strap in cuz it doesnt happen overnight for many coaches.
