Jerry on SHU declining the Crown
- Thread starter Halldan
- Start date
You’ll get an idea with the portal names that come out and how quickly.
Who cares about the Crown?At least the NIT had some heritage.
I was looking forward to some more SHU hoops, but surprisingly, I am not really bummed out with no post season. Thinking back to the NIT win, I thought for sure it would be a catapult for us into the next season. We got catapulted but right to the dumpster after key guys left and we had what we had last season. So, I'm thinking the posters who were saying use this time to really work on next year's team were on to something. It sounds like Shaheen intends to do just that. Getting my stash of popcorn ready as we watch all this unfold.
6 million for no post season. What a f’n world we live in!
Jerry has become a touch sloppy in his articles. He says dar gets another year because of juco...well he was a div II player that played 10 games as a freshman. The lead beat should know this.
Craig Carton on wfan just dissed hall saying shame on seton hall for declining.
Guy couldn't name 2 players on the team....

Carton, biggest waste of air on radio
Probably the only time we have been mentioned on the fan in two years…great lol
Geez, didn’t SJ decline the NIT last year? That will never be mentioned in this context.
Not quite the conf player of year struggled and kadary was in foul trouble and they lost to Arkansas in 2nd round. Yes year before their loss to ucon was their end of the line

Turning down an opportunity to play in the postseason in any tournament is stupid and short sighted. Players who don't want to play more or practice more have a poor work ethic. Rutgers did the right thing and will probably beat Creighton.
Also Rutgers has a full-time GM for the men's program that will presumably be working the phones and negotiating new deals with agents during this pre-portal period, thus allowing Pike to focus (most) of his time on coaching.
The only way to make that event have some juice is to offer both school's NIL prize money and individual players prize money.
This tournament is just as useless as 90% of the Bowl games in football. Why risk getting injured for some participation trophy that no one will watch or remember outside of the 40 minutes it takes to play the game.
Time will be better used in re-recruiting your best players and scouring the transfer portal for next year.
