I'm going to pass on this post. I can't do it without sarcasm.
According to the NET, NJIT is 353 in the country. When we lost to them, Monmouth was 302. Not really much difference there.
SHU 62
NJIT 48
Not sure if this team breaks 70 this season. This might be their last chance. Fingers crossed.
Shu 74
NJIT 53
Sha is going to realize that our best option is to play fast. None of this 25 second half court crap. Get shots up in transition and in the first 15 seconds of the shot clock. We’re going to look very good and make everyone forget how bad we are until OKST

Maybe if we say it enough we can manifest a good game to watch instead of this tedious terrible play?
Seton Hall, 75-50
Seton Hall, 75-50
SH 61-54
Are buy games worth it anymore?
Increasing revenue and slashing costs has to be paramount for our Athletic Department. Which got me thinking about the financials involved with playing NJIT.
Seton Hall has to pay full cost for use of the Prudential Center which will be about 70-75% empty. Plus they pay NJIT a sizable "buy" fee for playing the game (estimate $70k)
SH could save the cost of the Prudential by playing at Walsh but its just too small to make any money on ticket sales and you still have to pay NJIT the buy money.
So...............Why not play this as a NJIT home game in their 3,500-capacity Wellness Center? Give Seton Hall 3,000 tickets and NJIT 500 (their average home attendance last season was 437) and split the gate receipts 50-50.
Seton Hall would save 6 figures in cost by not having to pay the Pru or NJIT. Hall gets a Road Game but the crowd will be 85% Seton Hall.
NJIT loses the buy fee but get a Big East opponent to play in their sold-out Home arena and they take in half the gate.
The fans get a nice experience in a packed 3,500-seat gym a few blocks down the street from Prudential instead of a cavernous, empty arena.
