That’s why I would have pressed more. Pressing quite literally keeps the ball out of their bigs’ hands if even for a few more seconds per possession. I think Clark could have caused problems for Darling bringing it up.

Full court or 3/4 press system really fits Shaheen. Its like his personality reflected on the court when I watch….I like it! Lol
The thing is, they don’t seem to turn it over much. There was a stat yesterday that they have the best TO ratio in the league.

Pitino is a good coach, he's earned that. Certainly, more money, a higher payroll, is a big advantage and feels unfair. Hopefully we can increase our payroll/NIL and get good players and players that fit and also overachieve.

When you aren't good for 20+ years, and then have back to back seasons where you set a conference record for wins, win back to back regular season titles, win the Big East tourney for the first time in forever, have a chance to repeat, sellout MSG, and now get covered like a professional sports team by the NY media, it isn't "second weekend or bust". I'm sure they will be disappointed if that doesn't happen, but a little perspective of what's been accomplished there in a short period of time. Which should be no surprise given who is at the helm, because it is what he's done for 40 years at every type of school, in every type of recruiting environment. That's the objective reality some people here just don't want to come to grips with. The reality is the Big East needs Uconn, Nova and SJU to win some games this year, and so theoretically all should be rooting for that outcome. Instead of hoping for an early upset so they can run to a message board and post some insane rant.
Yes , yes, yes! And in the meantime the other eight schools need to get a whole lot better . The league is fading faster than an Earl Scheib paint job. Just look at the coverage and networks we are getting for most regular season games. Or the leagues NET. It’s a sad reality.

How come Seton Hall fans don’t acknowledge when they beat say Xavier or Marquette that Seton Hall is spending more than them?
My sources unlike yours say 2 teams spent less, and not a lot less than SHU. We are in the next group that spent around $6M. Schools like UConn and SJU double our spending and the next group led by Providence spend $8-10M

Comparing the upper level amounts far beyond ours is not comparable to comparing any slight advantage we have from those below our spending.

Can we just have several separate Pitino threads for Dehere to just list all his concerns, stats, accolades and everything else on there?

it’s just exhausting reading that Pitino is the Michelangelo David version for college basketball. And it’s non stop.

PS—I think Dehere needs to change his name to Metta or wBerry or something

Except that's not the reason or what SPK was really pointing to. When we lose to Uconn, the posts are about the actual game. Not $$$ or NIL. That's how it is to everyone we've lost to for 3 years, with one notable, glaring, neon red light exception.

Blah, blah, blah. If we didn't have 5 separate threads to begin with on the topic of him or Repole, I wouldn't comment. They are the ones that live rent free in half of the posters heads and lead to insane stuff. Period. That another big Nova booster just got mentioned is probably the first time I've ever heard discussion on the topic, and it won't lead to 30 more about it. I go where the threads go. Start posting that Uconn wins for a million reasons besides Dan Hurley, without mentioning Dan Hurley being a driving factor, and I'm going to post about why I don't agree with that. Ditto for plenty of others. But hey, let's keep up the trolling. That's fun.
