OT: SHU loses first game at the Garden

[ScarletDave]

So apparently there’s some secondary tournament going on at MSG after the B1G? Who knew. Anyway, Setona Hall was in it (3 seed) and just lost in their first game to the 6 seed Butler who was 19-12. It was Butler’s first MSG tourney win (1-4) and they won with a layup with 3 seconds left to the heartbreak of the couple hundred blue fans there (by the way: RU vs Indy/Purdue 10x louder than this game was). So for the record, Rutgers tournament MSG wins this year: 2, Seton hall: 0.00

Don't tell Batts.

Thank God we didn't need that tournament win for our names to be called this Sunday. Been a while where we didn't have to sweat it out.

Sincere congrats on your tourney performance. You guys played well.

We're even ahead if you go back two years, 2 to 1. ha

True, but SH has gone dancing during those years which is better than be a wall flower. lol

Whitehead.

I'll take what I can get. :)

So far Pike's been moving us in a positive direction these past two years to dig us out of the hole EJ put us in... 3-2 in conference tourney games, 1-1 vs. SHU, consecutive 15 win seasons (which we haven't seen since 2009-11). Hopefully we continue to improve next season.

Yeah, dancing because your best player and coach that recruited him were getting paid.

You guys have a crooked program. Facts are facts.

 

[T2Kplus10]

Whitehead.

[roll]
Don't forget Morton's cash.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

We can't make fun of Seton Hall for recruiting the Canary Islands any more.

Tiny didn't use cash to get recruits; he just drove around in his van.

 

[dpwhite]

I don't know about you guys, but this season, I'd like SHU to be good therefore making our win over them look even better. More worried about Pikiell having as much as possible to sell recruits as possible.

I don't know about you guys, but this season, I'd like SHU to be good .....

never

There are no FACTS----just ESPN reports.

We'll see----they say they know the FBI has Sean Miller on a wire.

Sean Miller says it's BS----somebody is lying--------let's see.

I for one have no clue who to trust here.

No love for Sean Miller and not overly confident in the FBI.

Why is Willard doing commentary on FS1 between games?

Not easy to trust ESPN or the FBI these days.

Willard is actually a pretty decent commentator.

ESPN says the FBI has Miller on a wire, but changed timeline of that call.
Don't know if ESPN can be taken seriously and can't rely on them to have what that call was about right.
Could be making a mountain out of a molehill and messing up what happened because of getting misinformation and running with it before thoroughly checking it out.

Miller might be guilty as hell but can't go by what ESPN is claiming now after messing up their original story (2017 it happened) and then putting out a different version ( spring of 2016) and adjusting that to sometime in 2016.

Uh, no. The report that identified Morton and Whitehead was from Yahoo based on documents they SAW. ESPN's Mark Schlabach was the one that reported that Sean Mller was on a wiretap but no one, including the Yahoo reporters who have been all over this story, could confirm that and no one knows what Schlabach based that on. ESPN has nothing to do with the Seton Hall reports. So, yeah, about those facts...

All the same animal Colonel IMO and until I see any proof I trust none of the parties involved.

A convenient, unsurprising and, dare I say, stupid reply from the "fake news" peanut gallery who invoked the word "FACTS" in all caps in the first place. There are FACTS and there are opinions. Some of us know that there is a difference. And all opinions are not created equal.

That teams got no heart.
