Game Thread: Seton Hall vs Xavier

[chickenbox]

You know how a lot of people were pissed at Richmond and Davis for going elsewhere after last season? Even if Coleman takes less money to switch schools I wouldn't blame him.

 

[HallLine69]

Interesting that we held Conwell to 3 pts in the NIT final last year. He was 1-10 from the floor, 1 of 9 from 3. Today he has 18 at the half.

Also interesting he is on his 3rd school in 3 years. He could well be elsewhere next year....and then be a grad transfer to a 5th school? College basketball is surreal.

 

[chickenbox]

So Felton presumably said something about Sha's mother?

 

[SHUSA]

i'm fully ok with coleman taking every shot

 

[SHUHoopsFan]

Why would any of those 3-4 come back?

In the meantime I'm just going to root for the team. No reason to treat this team like it's an NCAA or bust program. Just support the guys and hope for a few pleasant surprises along the way. No reason to rip them apart. It's just not a good team and time to treat it as such. These guys are about to enter the most mentally tough 2.5 months of their basketball lives. It's going to be a challenge to stay mentally engaged throughout this season.

 

[Piratz]

But why would they want to come back?

Why would any of those 3-4 come back?

Maybe they won’t. I couldn’t blame them.

 

[HallLine69]

Aligbe needs to sit — what is Sha seeing out there??? He gives them nothing

Arguably less than nothing at this point.

 

[STLPirate12]

and when they do actually call a foul on X it's to screw us out of a fast break lol

He won’t have a 5th year. But when you leave him wide open this is what happens

 

[The Crows Nest]

Why would any player with other options want to come back to this next season?

Coleman playing for a payday.

 

[JTSHU]

They arent. Isaiah prob cant wait to get paid

 

[chickenbox]

Coleman playing for a payday.

He deserves one. Gotta be frustrating playing alongside such ineptitude.

Seriously????

FELTON SIGHTING

 

[SHUSA]

our bigs, besides gus, are legitimately not even basketball players. its wild. theyre just tall humans.

 

[JTSHU]

Colemans been getting calls im sure

 

[HallLine69]

Jenkins' game has really gone into the toilet. Knee?

 

[SHUSA]

He deserves one. Gotta be frustrating playing alongside such ineptitude.

he might be way better than we even realize for this exact reason

 

[King of S]

Felton starts. Hits a three. Leaves at first timeout. Hasn't seen the court since.

Hey Sha, how about playing Felton, Coleman, Jenkins and Middleton at the same time. Not rocket science here.

 

[Jerry1992]

Colemans been getting calls im sure

Someone who like Italian restaurants probably.

 

[King of S]

Love to see Felton, Jenkins, Coleman and Middleton on the court for segments of games. They may get exposed on defense, but we still gave up 44 in the first half anyway. At least sprinkling some Gus minutes lends some excitement and promise for the future.

100%

 

[NYC Pirate]

Wow, pretty bad. And I agree although they are paid with tuition and comp, we don't want to see this.

 

[SOpirate]

Is there any legitimate ray of hope for this program? Something to hold onto?

 

[SOSHU]

May have been posted-didn’t see. Where is Toumi?

I don't see it - I don't have confidence in our coaches/program

 

[chickenbox]

May have been posted-didn’t see. Where is Toumi?

Someone said he didn't make the trip

 

[King of S]

More transparency would equal more NIL but not going to happen.

 

[chickenbox]

Would be an interesting listen for commentators to say what they're actually thinking watching this

 

[Piratz]

That we can change the roster for next year?

 

[SOpirate]

Not to absolve Sha but Felt/Lyons are more to blame IMO. I don’t see how shaking things up in the Athletic Department could make things any worse.

 

[SHUSA]

the ray of hope is that every year is a completely different year.

 

[chickenbox]

Did it just say Wusu has played more Big East basketball games than anyone in history (or just among active players)?

 

[SHUSA]

Not to absolve Sha but Felt/Lyons are more to blame IMO. I don’t see how shaking things up in the Athletic Department could make things any worse.

the depth charge set to this season is blamed on roster building. sha swing and missed at damaged goods and diamonds in the rough. he wanted depth. he missed on depth and starters. shus lack of success is on felt/lyons in this day and age, but the level of stink we see right now is because of roster construction. these guys stink. they simply cant put the ball in the basket.

 

[The Crows Nest]

May have been posted-didn’t see. Where is Toumi?

lol. Forgot all about him!
No idea

 

[Medugorje]

Team is worst I have ever seen at the Hall; poor Coleman! Wake me up when the Season is over as my interest is disappearing or gone!

 

[The Crows Nest]

That we can change the roster for next year?

Question is…can we change it midseason?
Half joking

 

[CaptBob]

Get ready for a new roster next year with all the recruits we have coming, oh wait, we DON'T HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED!!!!!!!

 

[chickenbox]

How about that? Felton can make free throws, too. Probably a reason Sha sits him. Doesn't want to make the other guys feel bad by comparison.

I am in this camp as well.

 

[SHUSA]

we are horrible but the refs are really making this about them. this game is taking forever. just let them play and let everyone go home.
