NCAA Resume Game

[NYC Pirate]

This would obviously be a tough get tonight at Nova. They seem to be playing
at a very high level right now. They are staking their claim for top dog in the
BigEast Conference. So this is going to be a great chance for Seton Hall to put a
marquee win on their NCAA tournament resume.

I guess besides winning we need to see this young SHU team compete and not fold
under the pressure. We don't need any meltdowns out of frustration that we had with Gibbs
last season. Make a good showing at minimum.

We lost to GW with awful shooting from 3 on the road. We almost lost to DePaul at home for the very
same reason. So this is what they need to improve on in order to stay in this game. Hopefully, Villanova
will come back down to earth with their shooting. Interesting to see how our new athletic frontcourt will fare in
Philly tonight. Plus we now have guards that can attack and score in a more conventional way if the outside shooting is not there, My gut says that if SHU doesn't hit between 8-10 threes than it's going to be very tough. This is a true test for this team. Not the end of the world if they lose by 10-15 tonight. I'm not expecting a win, but I want to see toughness and maturity

Even if we go 1-4 against our next four opponents (@nova, creighton, @providence, nova, and @xavier), we're still in the tournament picture if we go 7+ wins over the following 11 games, not including the BET. We need to beat creighton and keep it close with @prov and nova at home for me to feel comfortable that the team is moving in the right direction.
