Seton Hall Plays Tonight

[Piratz]

I’m glad we have a game. It sucks to be so close to the season’s goal especially after the comeback we made in the BE season and it’s been two days of complaining and debating, which everyone has a right to do.

It’s the NET, I get it. But let’s win some games, huh?

 

[HallX2]

It’s time. 71 years on, the NIT Championship trophy should come to South Orange.

 

[sami]

Well we do have the opportunity for 3 home games where we’re favored and then 2 games in familiar territory.

No reason not to look at us as being a favorite to win, up there with Villanova for the same reasons.

 

[Piratz]

Well, original should read, “It’s tbe NIT…”. Aiyaya, too much NET. 💀

Getting an NIT trophy would make a great banner.Better than getting blown out in first round of NCAA ala TCU.

It’s been a rough road for us despite an unprecedented streak of good teams. Willard’s 1-5 NCAAT record, a 6th bid with our best team in decades ruined by a pandemic, now we’re the first team 5+ games over in BE play to miss a bid in 44 years of the league. Wild.

Let’s win something!

 

[HallX2]

Hopeful here. But what was the last snubbed team (like just missed) winning or making a deep run in the NIT?

Like I said once before...nothing comes easy to Seton Hall basketball.

 

[SHUsez]

Don't want to look too far ahead but if we win tonight and maybe the next game... Any chance we try to schedule the Rock? What were the circumstances that we wound up there in the fateful 2010 game?

Xavier was snubbed two years ago? And I think won the whole thing. Why not Seton Hall?

Since the seniors voted to play, I hope they come out and blow the doors off St. Joe's. Let's keep the pressure on and remind people we deserved to be in the NCAA.

UVA made a statement last night; now it's our turn.

 

[catholicman]

We have to play with toughness and unrelenting defense, must not take St Joe's lightly.

We need to play with pride.

I am hoping we dominate every game in this tournament and win the whole thing, setting the stage for Kadary and Dre's return next season.

Couldn't agree more!

we didnt miss it. it was taken away

 

[IronKaz1]

I wish we would just win this thing for once, take it seriously, and slap the committee in the face, because the NIT is now harder more power teams because they changed the auto bid rule and allow power 6 teams in over them so its higher profile.... WIN

 

[Bud Boomer]

My hope is that coach uses the extra time to re-recruit his team, if there's any hope left for that. A returning core of Richmond and Davis could contend for top of the BE and erase the foul taste of missing the NCAAs.

Restarting from scratch next year, after the way this season ended, would be pretty deflating.

Do NIT game winners get paid credits similar to NCAA Tournament game winners? I tried looking it up and couldn’t find much information on it. I suspect it would be much much less money at stake, but do winners get anything?

Fran Fraschilla said during the broadcast he got 5 watches for coaching in 5 NITs, so apparently the NIT pays out their units in watches. I’m guessing these days they’re more along the lines of “random guy on 34th st” watches than Rolexes.

I heard it was $5000 for each win.
