Game Thread: Seton Hall vs. UCONN

Same old mistakes lost the game in the end. Yeah the effort was good but we’re talking about high major players who are being paid to play. The effort should be good every game.

IN SHA WE TRUST!! All of you guys who have been killing Wusu all year should be ashamed , DAW is a dog and gives everything he has … not his fault he’s had to play PG for most of the year !
 
It would be great to do the same to SJU"ROBBING
U"!!!!!!
Honestly I thought the game we played them at the Rock would be like that for the exact same reason as today. And said as such. But Pitino threw a monkey wrench in the juju curse for that one.
 
defense was amazing down the stretch and in OT
Yea I mean there is nothing to really read into this game except it was great for the fans, terrible for Uconn/Hurley and that the powers that be upstairs guided a victory (GEH’s FTs BOTH go in - I mean come on).

This outcome wasn’t about what you do on the court. It’s one of those weird sports things that don’t make sense.

I’m a DAW defender but we should relax on that and everything else about this team, staff and coach based on today. The worst thing any fan can do is read too much into this one.

But, we have been saying we can't really compete or win without Wusu, Middleton and Jenkins. The teqn has been improving and Wusu was a key today. As was Middleton.

Of course having those guys helps. We aren’t good with them and we aren’t good without them. But we are better with them. We win 3 or 4 in a row and I will start thinking we’ve improved in a meaningful way as a team beyond the normal course of kids getting better throughout a season.

An upside if a year like this is that on our past teams GEH never sees the floor and now he’s had a few solid outings in a row. So that’s good.

And the injuries also gave Dual the ability to get comfortable.

Yes but he’s still doing nothing to initiate offense. Active hands and length on D like he always has and can make a midrange. Doesn’t make others better like we want in a PG. I was higher on him than anyone preseason so rest of year we still need to give him tons of run so we can see what we truly have.

He had 6 of the team's 7 assists last game. He hot big shots today. He made a few good decisions today and the shots were missed. He needs to be stronger going to the basket and create contact, but he is improving each game imo.
 
And no turnovers
A big reason he has no turnovers is because he does little to initiate offense for others beyond acting as the designated in-bounds passer or passing to Coleman off designed screen action.

I’m not sh&$ing on the kid. He is playing better than he did when he basically had DNPs. But think about that - on this squad.

Maybe my expectations were too high preseason but I expected more. Not writing him of at all. But I judge our players like I would if they were on another team. No one here would be touting Dual the PG if he was on Uconn, Nova, St Johns etc.

Positive is we have nothing to play for so we are going to get as good a look as we can at what he can do, and hopefully the games are competitive like today because it’s hard to read much if anything from the blowouts.
