How about announcing the alumni players names when they come out on the court???

So, for me we are focused on perceived mismatches with Fisher and Rivera. The ball needs to move. Staton-McCray, Williams and Simpkins have to elevate their focus on offense. They are not playing well in these important home games as of yet.

Clark in foul trouble in the first half the last two home games. Just kills us. He may be more amped up for home games I don’t know but we are a different team without him. Parker turns the ball over too much as OG. Gotta keep Clark and Payne out of foul trouble and chip away now.

Also horrible call on that Payne foul at the end of the half. Payne has position and Creighton comes over the top. It wasn’t close. No way should Payne be called for that foul. He should have been shooting one and one. Terrible and obvious call.

Can't shoot any worse, Budd will create some easy open looks. - Expecting a crisp second half.

Has zero to do with being “ready” to play

that’s just classics talk radio BS buzz words

they can’t shoot and can’t get to the line..case closed
We have a low % because we are taking bad shots. We are taking bad shots because we are standing around not running an offense. We aren’t running an offense because we weren’t ready to play

Not going to win much in this conference when top 2 bigs get 2 fouls and your top ball handle/facilitator guy who sometimes can give you bail out offense has 2 fouls all in first half...if they get to any postseason event it will be a great feat

Masterclass by McDermott here. All the things seton hall is supposed be good at, Creighton is better at. Defense, loose balls, intensity.

We’re just not as good as we thought, that’s what happens when you don’t recruit shooters for 5 years straight. We just recruit players who can’t do anything but be athletic. How can your 5’8 PG not shoot.

Back to back bad performances at home, with opponents making Swiss cheese of defense

They dare us to shoot
I literally think that’s exactly what McDermott says.

When I hear “masterclass” by a poster regarding McDermott I just laugh. He’s not doing anything special.

On defenses his guys stay at home, move their feet and don’t lose their man.

On offense they just wait for an open shot when one player gets double teamed.

His players make shots.

Not rocket science.

seton hall won’t win many games scoring 31 points with 12 minutes remaining in the game.

Guy behind the TV announcers back at it. His chipping the refs wouldn't be embarrassing if he wasn't ALWAYS WRONG. Just stop.

Under 12 45-31 Creighton. Creighton went 3 minutes without scoring and Pirates weren't able to take advantage.
