Game Thread: Seton Hall vs. Fordham

[MTOleBlue]

I said during the St. Peter's game that Sha really has no clue what he's doing with this roster this year. I thought it was extremely obvious that Gus Yalden should be playing - and probably starting - as the 5, and this game was another data point in favor of that. Just really baffling that he doesn't seem to see what everyone else can see there. Also noted that Zion Harmon unfortunately seems to be not ready to play at this level... and once again had a poor showing.

Not a good game by any means for Seton Hall but what was baffling to me was Coach Sha not playing Gus more. I thought when he was in the team looked better and no one on Fordham could handle him inside. He also made a really good defensive play at the rim, something we haven't seen much of so far this season. I hope he earns more minutes going forward

I'd like to see Harmon get a chance at PG since our guards are struggling to handle full court pressure. And Toumi should be starting. Hope he learns how to stay out of foul trouble

But all in all, this looks like a A10 level team, not a BE team. And that's not a shot as the A10 is a premier conference but the BE is a top 2 conference and we don't have the size or offense to compete in the BE in my opinion. It's going to be a long year. Wins will come by being scrappy and hungrier than the other team. The fact that they aren't winning in that facet of the game is alarming given that's what Sha's teams hang their hat on and seeing how many holes they have as a team they need to be scrappy often
