Hoping for a better version of ASM tonight. Could really use one of his hot shooting games. Only logged 28 minutes yesterday, so hoping his legs are somewhat fresh.

Can we contain their bigs tonight? Prey killed us when Zuby rode pine with foul trouble a week ago.

I'm also really tired of Darling. I hope Budd wipes the floor with him this evening!

Lastly, their defense against Providence yesterday was suffocating. Hoping they emptied their tank in the Hopkins revenge game and aren't up for the 40 minutes of hell they unleashed on the Friars.

Yes, awesome D, and pc dribble-happy offence played right into it. Hope we pass the ball.

We had nice balance yesterday. 7 guys with 6 or more, and balanced rebounding, trey with 8, budd ablnd Steph with 7, Dar with 5.

And another 20 for 26 from the line would be nice.

8 and a half hours to go.

Hey..after Jacob Dar’s outstanding performance off the bench last night to spark Seton Hall’s win…performances like that has been known to become contagious. Players who have been struggling to score like ASM or Williams, will want to share in a moment like that. Not out of jealousy, but just wanting to make their contribution. They don’t want to be the weak link. Maybe with that added focus and discipline, they begin to score early and gain confidence. If that happens, then look out. If the Pirates can even shoot 5-12 from behind the 3 point line, then it’s on. I’ll take that.

No one really played extended minutes yesterday except for Budd. Hoping fresh legs aren't an issue. Same scenario for St. Johns. Only Sellers played more than 30 minutes.

Sha was so pissed with Williams yesterday and rightly so. No chance he sees more than 10 minutes tonight. Got cooked on D twice as well that led straight to baskets. Need Simpkins/Parker to give us big time minutes tonight. Rivera as well. Those 3 will determine if we win/lose.

Williams, Simpkins & Payne have all regressed throughout the season. Not sure if it's a fatigue or a scouting issue but all 3 need to step up tonight for us to win.

Williams yes , Simpkin needs to get more open looks,after his 3 early in the game he should get the ball to him again and Payne offensively consistently bad misses chippies and put backs .

Too much ball watching defensively going back to last night in the 2nd half. I feel like someone is getting beat backdoor every possession. DONT LOSE YOUR MAN

Pitino is taking away all of Budd’s midrange drive, stop and pop shots. If it stays that way forget about it

Great call…

Redundant but Seton Hall needs to go into a zone or as we saw the last possession extend their guards up to cover 3/4 up the court. SHU needs some transition points
