I'm not sure if it's been mentioned by anyone, so if it has, I apologize for missing it, but I think we are seeing a very positive trend developing where Seton Hall predictably beats the teams it really ought to beat these days.
Not that there aren't ever hiccups, but it seems the days where we were chewing our nails with 90 seconds left against the likes of St. Peter's and such are gone. Or having to scramble in the second half to make up a 20-point deficit against some bottom feeder. That never really seems to happen anymore.
The team comes out and even if it isn't 40 minutes of finely tuned basketball, they still seem to quickly establish relative dominance and put games away early. That's good, and we haven't done it consistently since ... well, it seems like since I was young enough to play.
So that's a good thing, certainly one characteristic of a good team.
