Creighton = Must win

Every time is different. Who knows what the landscape will look like in March. I remember the outrage when Seton Hall and Boston College went 10-6 in the BE in 2003 and didn’t get in for SEC teams who were .500 or below. Our non-con was terrible.

In 2024 you had 5 upsets and teams who would not have been in bumped us to 2nd out. Again, our non-con was terrible.

We’ll be right there at 22-9, 12-8. Our non-con is good with 2 quality wins despite weak SOS. Let’s see what the rest of the country looks like… the Bubble has been so weak.

Going 0-2 at home to Villanova and Creighton would be disappointing. But these teams are 12-1 against Holloway since taking over.

13-1 actually. You’re missing the BET last year.

13-1 actually. You’re missing the BET last year.

And it’s always the same story. We get badly outscored by 3 and chasing them around defensively takes away from our offense; guys have hands on hips constantly even if we stay in front of them.

Seton Hall plays a physical street ball-ish style with Shaheen. That’s not derogatory, it simply doesn’t keep up with teams like this usually.

As far as the rest of the season, I really do think Hines is the wildcard. If he can be a force by February, that makes the offense that much more effective as he has such good hands and finishing ability around the basket.

Ok, maybe January instead of February….
