How the heck did we beat Seton Hall??

[Salvi's Headband]

We stink and they're good.

Oh well...if the best thing that comes from this season is getting the Jersey trophy back at least that's something

 

[Joey Bags]

Thank god we did, maybe it keeps them out of the post season

 

[rucoe89]

Off day for Holloway. He appears to be a better coach than Pikiell. Proof has been on the court.

 

[RUfromNJ]

We’ll be a bad loss on their resume

Good shooting and they aren’t that good

 

[Mr Magoo]

50% from 3. That is all

 

[MCKnight2004]

We shot lights out. Hot Shooting created confidence and defense for us. We played our best they played their worst.

 

[STLPirate12]

Because Seton Hall was no better at that point. They'd lost to every non-cupcake on the schedule. If this run continues and SHU finishes with a strong season, that game will likely be looked back on as the game that lit the fire to turn things around.

Good shooting and they aren’t that good

They’re clearly a better basketball team than we are. We just had a hot shooting night, our only real win thus far to go along with the OOC garbage teams. We might end up being the BLEMISH on their resume when they’re considered for the tourney. That’s how bad we are.

 

[RUich]

We could be a real dagger in their heart with the way we are playing. Low quad possibilities.

Pike heavily outcoached Sha that night

 

[PiscatawayMike]

In the most simplistic terms... we shot the ball well and Dawes didn't

 

[bac2therac]

Shot the lights out from 3

They had a bad day

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Teams figured us out now

 

[walshtrips]

The game had nothing to do with coaching, hot shooting RU and miserable shooting SHU.

RU vs. SHU - season stats in parenthesis:

RU: FG 41% (40%), 3PT 50% (29%), FT 75% (66%)

SHU: FG 36% (45%), 3PT 15% (31%), FT 59% (75%)

I love Holloway, but I don’t know if I’d say that. I’m very happy with our guy, but Pikiell is a really good coach. I think a lot of you underrate him.

So true. People forgot the dumpster fire parade of coaches we’ve had in years past. A hiccup of one year is nothing to be concerned about. At least it’s due to a talent gap. At least we’re not Slappy Howard or Woodson totally wasting talent.

Our team defense did have a little something to do with the bad shooting outside of Kadary Richmond, who was a Dawg that day.

 

[HallX2]

Too harsh.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

We beat SHU the way we are going to beat alot of teams this year. ...Not predicting a great season, but we definitely have a bunch of wins left in us...We have plenty of guys who can get hot on a given night.....

 

[SOpirate]

Rutgers matched and for some stretches that night surpassed Seton Hall’s physicality, something no Big East team has done so far.

Haven’t seen many Rutgers games this year but physicality was one of the defining traits for Pike’s success in the past.

 

[NickRU714]

We played Gavin over 20min and got him going early.

 

[RUBOB72]

Pikiell is a very good coach. However the team needs to have a deep introspective look at who can do what or how can I help my team get better and better over the next few weeks.

Absolutely! Likewise SHU was horrible on defense, atypical of their identity.
