This team needs to improve fast

They still need to improve. Memphis did not look like a good team tonight. Take the win and move on but regardless this team needs to improve a lot.
Yep, we are grateful for that victory. The effort is certainly there, but meshing this roster is a tough assignment.
He’s still right. We have to improve in a lot of areas. Great win though!!!!
Sha’s rotation is puzzling. How is Ndefo on the floor over Tray/Dre on the last play???

We all understand and know what you're saying. I'm taking the win with a huge smile and looking forward to tomorrow night.
I just think Samuel sat too long in the 2nd half. He needs to average 25 min a game to give us the best chance to win. A lit of new pieces including the coach so I'll give a BIG pass on the rotation for now.
At this point I really feel like between their offense and defensive blend
Richmond
J. Harris
T. Davis
Jackson
Samuel
give us the best chance to win. I know it's a wacky lineup but just my observations

The first half was rough, but we won that game by going 9-9 from the line over the last 5 minutes. So I'd say yes.
That was so big. Dre Davis and Samuel were clutch.
Doesnt change the facts. Shaheen is still not happy w the offense. Every interview he wants tyrese and kadary get more agressive. Hooe that happens
Agreed. Id go with dawes over jamir. Better ball handler
The line up is still a work in progress. I’m a bit confused with what Odukale is giving us with all his minutes at this point.
Someone said we have a bunch of mid-major players with a mid major coach. Well this is exactly the type of team he took to the Elite 8 last year. We will be fine.

One game at a time. 4-1 and on to Oklahoma. New coach, rebuilt roster, and best rebounder injured.
Villanova is 2-3. Anyone want to trade places?

Agree. A win is a win, but the original poster's observations are not wrong. The two games against good competition have been tough on the eyes.
But to be expected given everything going on at this point of the season.
and remember yetna was supposed to be a big part of the offense and is currently injured.
They did everything they could to lose that game. If they could clean up the sloppy passing and keep the turnovers to a minimum they probably wouldn't have had to rely on a hail mary bankshot to win. I am surprised looking at the box score that they finished with a 70 percent at the free-throw line. Thankfully Dre isnt a liability at the stripe.
Yeah the offense is tough on the eyes and we don’t have a go to guy on which you can build an offense right now. BUT, they made plays on both defense and offense down the stretch and Dre and Tyrese were superb from the line. They out toughed Memphis and pulled out a win. A building block victory.

Give some context. 9 missed FTS at 21/30. 70%. Would rank 150/352 NCAA teams season avg. Aka above average FT shooting at the D1 level.
Name me the people you consider BE caliber centers in the big east.
The rest is conjecture.
Relax.
Agree that Memphis is not a great team.One great player in Davis and one brute under the boards who pushed around our PFs masquerading as centers.
You never measure SHU against the other 352. You measure them against the Power 6 conferences and maybe a dozen other teams. Their foul shooting is below average compared to peers
You best check those percentages.
That 70% is very deceiving as we missed the majority of the front end of the one and one’s throughout the game and that in reality is like missing 2 although not scored that way. Nevertheless what a way to end a wonderful day!
I think Yetna’s absence can’t be emphasized enough when looking at the team so far. We look much better than I thought we would without him, and once he’s back, that’s an added dimension we need since the 4/5 spot is really where we lack that depth right now beyond Samuel. Still a lot to work on though and I’m sure Sha is going to be on top of it based on his postgame comments every game so far.
I think both Jackson and Samuel have signed on to Sha’s recipe of success. They are both playing inside better than then have in the past. Plus did you see Jackson diving for the loose ball early in the game.

For all the talk about our missed free throws, why no mention of their missed free throws? They shot them worse than we did. 19/29 (66%). This game was very sloppy. We need to be thankful we walked away with a win which could very well be a difference maker in March.
It was a tough, physical, grind-out kind of a game against a team at our level perhaps slightly above. It wasn't pretty but we came back from down 6 with less than 4 to play and picked up a very important Q1 win.
We have a lot of new players and a new coach. The turnover situation should get better you'd think, but right now that part of the game is tough to watch. Seton Hall is 318th in turnover % in the country.

+1. Just need to put things in perspective. One thing that strikes me about this team right now is that they are play offense at the same speed at which they played defense. Need to slow that down as that’s creating too many unforced turnovers.
A good win against a name opponent is a plus for this team given some very obvious weaknesses and getting adjusted to a new coach and the way he wants this team to play. What you have to look for going forward is how well we minimize our weaknesses and how well we adjust to how the staff wants us to play.
