Starting to take notice

Impressive job by Tony and staff. They lose their two stars and come back better.
I think this is why they are better. No stars, no egos, just a very talented group that plays together and is the sum of their parts. These young ladies are always cheering on their teammates, from the starters to the last girl off the bench. Success is shared and not because of one or two players. As long as this continues this team can go far.

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Friars: Pirates lead, 45-30

2022-23 Meetings:

Seton Hall 77, Providence 52 (F) – Feb. 4, 2023 (Walsh Gym)

Seton Hall 76, Providence 60 (F) – Jan. 8, 2023 (Alumni Hall)

AGAINST PROVIDENCE


Seton Hall and Providence will renew their long BIG EAST rivalry when they face off on Saturday. The Hall owns a 45-30 all-time series lead and has won the last eight games in the series and 20 of the last 22 contests. The Friars haven’t won at Walsh Gym since Feb. 6, 2011.

SCOUTING PROVIDENCE


The Friars are coming off a 13-19 record last season, which included a 4-16 mark in BIG EAST play. Providence earned the No. 10 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament and fell to No. 7 DePaul in the first round, its ninth straight loss to end the season.

Erin Batth was hired as the 11th women's basketball coach in program history at PC on March 20, 2023. Batth arrived in Friartown with 17 years of NCAA Division I coaching experience, with her most recent stops coming at NC State (2018-22) and Michigan (2022-23). Olivia Olsen, Grace Efosa and Kylee Sheppard all returned for the 2023-24 season after finishing in the top four on the team in scoring and rebounding. Providence was picked to finish ninth in the 11-team BIG EAST according to the 2023-24 Coaches Preseason Poll.

Providence is the last team to begin BIG EAST play as its contest against Seton Hall will be its first conference game of the season. The Friars went 6-7 in the non-conference slate and are coming off a pair of losses at the West Palm Beach Classic against No. 10 Baylor on Dec. 20 and Kennesaw State on Dec. 21. The Friars and Pirates share two common opponents already this year, Iona and Columbia. While the Hall split against those two teams, Providence lost both by at least 12 points. Olsen leads PC with 15.0 points per game and ranks fourth in the BIG EAST with 8.3 rebounds per contest.

UP NEXT Seton Hall will return to action on Wednesday, January 3 when it hosts BIG EAST rival Villanova at historic Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. Jackson Shank and Jon Heite will have the call for WSOU FM.

Providence hit their 3's at a much better rate than SHU... and we couldn't buy a bucket underneath. Credit Providence D for a lot of that but the poor shooting doomed us. Shooting %'s...... 23.4% all shots and 11.1% from 3...NOT a typo
Nobody can win with those percentages. The D played reasonably well.... turned over Friars 23 times. OFF offensive NIGHT..... hopefully a one OFF

Azana Baines goes for 15 points and seven rebounds in the setback.
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Graduate student Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) had a team-high 15 points to go with seven rebounds, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team shot just 23.4 percent from the field and fell to Providence, 51-46, on Saturday.

The Hall's defense proved up to the challenge as it forced 23 turnovers and held the Friars to just 51 points, but the Pirates were just 3-for-27 from three-point range for the game and shot only 23.4 percent overall, their lowest since shooting just 18.6 percent in a win over Savannah State on Nov. 29, 2013.

The Pirates took a 40-39 lead into the fourth quarter, but were just 2-for-16 from the field in the final 10 minutes, while Providence was 8-for-10.

The Pirates led 14-13 after the first quarter, but Providence opened the second frame with a 12-2 run to grab a 25-16 advantage and force an early timeout. A turnaround jumper by A'Jah Davis (DeKalb, Ill.) stopped the Friars' run and ended a Seton Hall scoring drought of 5:54. Gray hit a jumper as time expired on the first half, but the Pirates entered the break down, 27-20.

The Hall forced nine Providence turnovers, and committed only three, but it was only 8-for-32 shooting from the floor (25 percent, compared to 43.5 percent for the Friars in the first 20 minutes.

Seton Hall opened the third quarter a new team. The Hall scored the first nine points and a turnaround jumper by Baines gave it a 29-27 lead with 7:06 left in the third. From there, both teams got cold from the field, shooting a combined 2-for-16 over the next 5:53. A trifecta by Gray ended the drought and gave The Hall a 35-33 lead heading into the fourth.

A jumper by Baines with 8:19 left in the contest, cut The Hall's deficit to 38-37, but then the Pirates went the next 5:37 without a made field goal, allowing Providence to grab a 47-40 advantage with 3:11 left. A three-pointer by Baines cut The Hall's deficit to only four points with 2:42 left to play, but the Pirates' couldn't get closer.

THE NUMBERS:
  • Seton Hall was 15-for-64 (23.4%) from the floor for the game, while Providence was 20-for-45 (44.4%). The Hall was 3-for-27 (11.1%) from three-point range, while the Friars were 6-for-17 (35.3%).

If you weren't at the game you didn't see the problem.
The link doesn't give the answer, nor does the box score.
The fans in attendance could notice the issue, and they supported their team
as much as they could. Too bad many of you didn't.

Can you elaborate on the issue?

I was in attendance... but not getting your point. This was my first game this year. Was it Satterfield being hurt? Somehow I think that's not your point.

Yes it's the fans fault. Not enough people there to motivate the team. Of course, i should have known.
 
Satterfield was a big loss down low and Davis was saddled with early foul trouble (2 quick ones in the first quarter alone). Gray’s three’s weren’t falling either. The team was also coming off a ten day layoff which sometimes contributes to the result we saw. I have faith they will regroup and come out much stronger with a much better result next time out.

Would love to see the mens team get this level of understanding.

Nah, I take that back.

This was the first bad loss for the ladies. That can’t be said for the guys. Do you watch both teams? If you do, you can tell the difference. If you don’t, please trust those who do.

Anyone have any idea how long Satterfield is supposed to be out? She had a boot on which would make me think at least two weeks, which really sucks. Assuming she got injured in practice unless it happened down at Georgetown, but I don’t remember anything.

If the men were 11 and 1 and laid an egg those eggs would be thrown at them here. That is my point. Been that way on the board forever.

I don't go to their games. But I read the board and that was what I was commenting on. And as someone once said, i was being ironic.

Your silly and uneducated snippiness aside, the men haven't lost to a team as bad as Providence.

Also, Providence was coming off a 9-day break, making your Seton Hall off a 10-day break excuse incredibly weak.

Personally when it comes to Seton Hall's women's basketball, I'll plead a Seton75. IDGAS.
