Two best teams in the country battle it out. Big 10 vs Big East

Staying loyal to the league...

UConn 76

Purdue 71

I wonder how many of the 1.4 million people were St John’s fans

Any of our guys in it.... yet?
UCONN supposedly in contact with the 7'2" center from Floriday Atlantic.
Any hints of our coaches moving?

I read there is 1 million dollar difference in NIL capabilities

Good enough to be the only local writer to cover the NIT final. He flew out to Hinkle to cover the Pirates. No other NJ/NY media member did the same.

Pirate fans we have gold with Jerry Carino's coverage of local BB, especially as concerns the Pirates.

$100,075

@Aross1995 $1,000

What an amazing total for a message board.

Mike Walsh did an incredible job setting this up.

Without Mike this doesn't happen.

MAJOR KUDOS

That Val hasn’t said anything about the NIT crown. Yes the BE site has an article but you’d expect the Commish to speak out.

As Jerry says, she’s come up very small this postseason

I argue and make this point to you, whether you agree or disagree, based on our season OVERALL 25-12, 13-7, NIT Champions, I believe we deserve an end of the season ranking of 24/25 just based on #'s and we proved ourselves OVERALL..... IRON would vote us 25

Let’s goooo🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Way to ruin a good game refs. Seemed to want Caitlin Clark and Iowa in finals.

44-40 Huskies at the half. If you’re Alabama, you can’t feel great that you shoot over 70% from three and you’re still down.

That was a hard fought Championship game last night.

There will always be naysayers but.a sold out game and bodies diving on the floor in a one possession win says otherwise.

Very few post season teams win their last game.

Champions are forever.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. - Dre Davis (Indianapolis, Ind.) scored the game-winning layup with 16 seconds remaining as the Seton Hall men's basketball team took home the 2024 NIT championship with a victory over Indiana State, 79-77, this past Thursday night inside Hinkle Fieldhouse. The win gives the Pirates, who ended the game on a 9-0 run over the final 2:38, their second NIT title in program history and first since 1953.

Al-Amir Dawes (Newark, N.J.) capped off his strong tournament with a game-high 24 points, while Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Richmond, Dawes and Davis were all named to the NIT All-Tournament Team and Dawes was named the NIT's Most Outstanding Player.

This historic five-game tournament run galvanized Seton Hall fans across the country. First came three sold-out home games inside Walsh Gymnasium, then over 400 Seton Hall fans traveled to Indianapolis for the semifinal win over Georgia and the championship victory over Indiana State, which according to ESPN was the most-watched NIT championship game since 2010 with 1.4 million viewers.

Following Thursday's win, Seton Hall planned a public welcome home celebration for the team in the early afternoon. As the team was headed to the Indianapolis airport Friday morning when an earthquake struck in New Jersey, forcing a ground stop at Newark Airport. Undeterred though, the Pirates made alternate plans and flew into Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y., and then bussed back to South Orange, where they were greeted by over 500 Pirates fans who waited patiently for hours in the cold for their championship team to arrive.

When addressing the large crowd of Pirates fans, head men's basketball coach Shaheen Holloway '00 said, "From the bottom of all our hearts...for you guys being out here today...it's been a long journey for us coming back today for you guys being out here in the cold...this is love, this is why I'm here and this is why they [the student-athletes] are here.

"Pirate Nation, we made history, all of us, and it's just the beginning."

Bama shot nearly 50 from 3, had no fast break points and got worn down as game went...Uconn big edge at foul line, rebounding and physicality...still waiting for an average shooting night from 3

Man. This game sucks. Purdue keeping the door open like they though nc was from jersey. Says no thanks and is shooting threes like we did in the ooc.

He’s right.

Last year we were searching the portal well into June. That was considered late at the time.

Should fans expect a similar timeline, or are we more likely to fill out the ‘24-‘25 roster sooner?
