Seton Hall@ SJU Game Thread

[Piratefan2009]

Outcoached on the offense. As in we have none. No plays. Crazy passes that now with pressure are being exposed.

Outhustled on D. End of story.

Time to figure out whether this team wants to go to the tournament. If we lose, not hard to see why we get left out. Bubble team with another 200+ loss.

 

[williaza01]

Right, because the league doesn't want Seton Hall to make the NCAAs...

Just ridiculous. We rack up fouls because we play very aggressive defense. That's it. End of story.

The league wants close games

 

[bigraym]

Need some defense now!

 

[dcPirate]

The unforced turnovers are just killing The Hall...

 

[catholicman]

This isn't happening. Is it? Come on Hall, finish strong!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Abbo71]

It's not over yet.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Come on let's stay positive and support our guys. The officiating
has changed the whole game.

The league wants close games

... At the expense of keeping a team out of the NCAAs? Are you wearing an aluminum foil hat?

 

[bigraym]

I have hard time believing this scenario is orchestrated by Big east league office

 

[Jerry1992]

Whitehead will need to win this one. This would be a horrendous loss. Still think we win but no way this game should be close.

I am saying the way this game was called from the tip was going to ensure that St Johns was going to be close. And if they are close they can win

 

[Shuathelete]

this is a complete fiasco

 

[shupat08]

If we are playing "aggressive defense" what is StJ playing? Passive defense? LOL.

 

[chickenbox]

Gordon has been key this half keeping us from falling behind

 

[shupat08]

2 SHU fouls in 10 seconds. Sanogos 4th.

 

[MassPirate]

Goodbye tournament if we lose this game!

 

[catholicman]

We are not getting a favorable whistle today. The season is about to crash and burn.

 

[shupat08]

Gordon better make these 2. We are losing with under 4 to play.

We are about to kiss our NCAA chances goodbye.

 

[Jerry1992]

If we have a solid coach we win this game. Let's see what williard can come up with. Season might be on line.

 

[chickenbox]

Why hasn't desi taken a three? We're getting rejected at the rim like crazy

 

[Bobbie Solo]

I'm glad that IW is so unselfish, but now is the time for him to make some big shots. Our bigs are getting blocked inside every time and IW keeps feeding them. He needs to take over.

 

[catholicman]

Gut check time.

 

[NYC Pirate]

They are down 1 under 4 minutes going to the line. IW and Desi have to show the way.

SJU is getting every dam break today. Can't believe some of the foul calls.

 

[shupat08]

Season is on the line. We also are tied with creighton at 8-6 in conference if we lose this game.

 

[SHUmash90]

By far the worst game I saw out of IW AD AND KC. And it couldn't come at worst time.

 

[The Crows Nest]

2 SHU fouls in 10 seconds. Sanogos 4th.

I don't know what game some folks are watching but St John's looks like they have some promise to me. Starting to look like a vintage 1980's Georgetown team. They are rejecting everything we are throwing up inside... And they are in our heads.

Will need IW and Gordon to pull this one out

 

[bigraym]

Foul shooting will be key!

 

[Piratefan2009]

Season is on the line. We also are tied with creighton at 8-6 in conference if we lose this game.

I think this was the one game we couldn't lose. We would need 11 from what we have left if we lose today. Very unlikely.

 

[chickenbox]

It's not over if we lose this, but it becomes way harder. With personnel losses definitely challenge to win but will be very impressive if we do and show a different kind of team from recent years

 

[Bobbie Solo]

Oh please AD didn't even get a chance to play much of a game. Completely hosed on most of those calls

 

[pirated]

DR nuts in huddle pushe athletic trainer.. No control

 

[SHUMA04]

This is not a conspiracy.

What you have Mullin who has very skillfully used his presence, charisma and stature in working the refs versus our coach who unfortunately falls short in all three.

Mullin realizes how important this game is for local perception. And to his credit he has willed his players AND the officiating his way.

 

[pirated]

Don't blame bad refs team sucked

 

[SHUSource]

Let me tell you, even if you think the league is imposing sort of will in this game, it is NOT to keep this game close or have us run any risk of losing to this St. John's team. It would be a nightmare for the Big East...

 

[bigraym]

6 straight misses from line

 

[chickenbox]

DR nuts in huddle pushe athletic trainer.. No control

Didn't see that! He's of the court now so I bet you're right. Yikes

 

[Jerry1992]

Wow. Missing free throws. Choking.

 

[Shuathelete]

if we lose this game it is 100% fatal.

I never said anything about a league. I dont know what you're saying
