St. John's would be 1 seed if finish with same record as UConn.

I feel that is also best path for SHU to make the final with a BET run next week.

Creighton the 5.

Who is the better match up for SHU— DePaul or Creighton?

We should have beaten Creighton twice but they can get hot and bury us from 3.

DePaul just bullied us twice, has great length and size on the wings but can go into scoring droughts.

I prefer Creighton. If they’re not hitting from 3, we can out tough them and win ugly.

I’m sure Creighton thinks they should have beaten us twice since they were up something like 18 on us. Both teams should have won the game they lost and should have lost the game they won.

I feel Creighton is 50/50. I think DePaul seems to have our number. They are the only team I’ve seen play as hard as us for 40 minutes. Even when we lost this year to other teams, I think our guys played harder they just weren’t as good. DePaul is the only team that matched our effort and that scares me.

Creighton may actually be the 6 and shu face DePaul. DePaul butler Saturday determines that.
St. John's would be 1 seed if finish with same record as UConn.

We want to avoid UConn at all costs IMO. They will be on a mission to win that after last year and have a huge home crowd advantage every game except if they see SJU in the final.

And I think we should gave beaten CU twice and their win even more improbable than our, and dp has handled us twice.

I hope we play a good game. That is the key, not the opponent I think. I dont think any BE team is a gimme.

LTO against Depaul we played maybe our worst last 5 minutes of the season. I bet the coach will remind them of that leading up to Thursday.

No wins in BET since 2022.

Give me DP, we owe them.

UConn had been life and death to beat us twice. Uconn would rather not see us.

St John's we made look pedestrian for 25 minutes. Then ...

I am sure there are a bunch of teams St John's would rather play than Seton Hall.

That all being said, I would rather play Creighton than DePaul or Nova.

Agree with you 100%. I'm just saying both teams will be going into the game the same mindset that they're playing a team that they essentially have beaten twice, just let one slip away. Radecicco only pointed out one way, so my response was in the other direction.

With their regular season over it looks like Creighton will have 10 days rest to prepare for the BET.
