We’ve had a lot of these “moment” games and have fallen short more often than not in the past.

HUGE opportunity tonight. We’re ranked, we’re at home, national game, let’s seize it!

Hope everyone at The Rock is juiced. This team deserves it for where they are, especially for us fans who endured last year and the heartache of missing the NCAAT in 2024 by 2 freaking slots.

I agree Piratz. Thankfully, the team pulled out the Gtown game. The team would not be ranked and "some" of the juice in the building would be missing, if they lost. Would love to see The Hall win 2 of next 3. This one moves the needle the most.

better talent doesn't always win. Ask Uconn X 4

This is a game that likely won't play in the 50s and 60's We will need to score 70 plus to win. Totally doable.

Just having a game of this stature in 2026 is mind blowing!

Agree. A lot of juice and attention on this game. Who’d a thunk it!

A win tonight would be huge for so many reasons but the impact on the resume might be the most important for me personally. We would almost be playing with house chips the rest of the regular season with a win tonight over UConn.

It will make things so much better, if we just win tonight.
That's scary.....because, nothing comes easy to Seton Hall Basketball.

22 points, 0 3’s made and 9 turnovers. Woof. Fears of the offense being realized.

Best defense in the world won’t hold them to 43, lol.

It’s just so great to have a nationally relevant game at home. Gotta love it.

It was exciting. It was a 1-point game with :49 to play against that team. Again, The Rock was alive. Best environments there since Willard had us rolling.

UCONN hasn’t lost at full strength. They are so good and players so heady. We earned respect nationally. Reminded me a little of that classic football game between the Giants and undefeated Patriots before the rematch in the SB that year.

We did not play nearly well enough offensively. 1/16 from 3. 15/25 from FT with multiple reliable shooters messing up. But we showed toughness and why it’s a PITA to play us for 40 minutes bc we get after it defensively and Sha has the depth to play like that. Need to adjust offensively.

Right mindset:

WE need somebody to step up and be able to hit jump shots . Our D is great but if we continue to have problems scoring we are in trouble. Would love to get a player that is a stud shooter I do not care if he cannot do anything else but hit jumpers .

We kind of had that but he's in a bit of a funk right now. Probably need to let AJ come off the bench for a few games.
Maybe fresh legs coming in will help him find his rhythm.

This team is so easy to root for but the half court offense is a total mess. It seems like the looks are no worse than what we saw in Maui, but nothing is falling.

ASM was supposed to be the guy for that right?
