Seton Hall Declines Postseason
- Thread starter Piratz
- Start date
Uh, didn't our best player and team leader say this team isn't finished? But whatever, I could care less really
I don't have a problem with it. The goal should be NCAA Tournament or bust.
This is 100% the right call, especially with how the portal and NIL work.
WTF? Now they have to pay a fine.
But fans should just donate, donate, donate.

Honestly as someone who watches European football (soccer) I don’t mind secondary tournaments like NIT. NIT was a great feeling in 2024 and I felt the competition and hype of Indiana state and beating them was amazing and legit feeling.
in European football there are other cups below the champions league ( tournement for best club in Europe) and winning country’s league title.
Tbh considering how ncaa landscape looks, these tournaments like NIT or the crown can have a bit more value, though I wish it was just NIT and ncaa tournament should always be the goal, but it’s honestly at a point smal schools will have a harder time reaching the NCAA tournament with how things have gone.

SPK. So is the fine coming from Pirate Blue???? Not cool to upset your primary TV medium, even though this tourney is a farce compared to the history of the nit.
Guess the players said no, unlike what we heard from Carino. All eyes now on Hines and Bud.

Yeah, unacceptable IMO. You’re going to play in a Tournament where players can earn NIL. This only makes sense if either Shaheen and/or players are essentially wanting to focus on their next moves. It’s definitely a BS move.
No postseason. If we wanted to continue to play we would have played in Crown. Other teams opted out of Crown last year.
Great call. Surprised the players wouldn’t want to try to earn more money, but relieved we can put this season to bed and look toward the future.
I respect not playing. However I didn’t know it comes with a fine. Crying poverty and paying an unnecessary fine doesn’t jive.
It does jive if players not interested. It’s their bodies on the line. Plus remember it doesn’t start until April, so very valuable portal time.
It is a farce and the fine is probably not that much, just seems weird for the players to decline.
Yes but preparation is happening now. Focus needs to be on keeping Clark and Hines and surrounding them with better talent. Crown interrupts that process significantly.
I loved the last run in the NIT. Wish I could watch us play more but dont like the crown tourney and dont care that we declined.
I didnt watch Selection Sunday, I guess for the first time ever.
I stopped watching college fb about 15-20 yrs ago, maybe longer. Dont remember when I stopped and dont miss it at all.
I get the feeling I may be watching more MLB AND THE WBC, as of now am losing interest in the NCAAs too (not cause we are not in, but cause of the new rules of the game and what I think their intent is). Will watch our teams, not sure most if the rest will interest me much. I get the hint.
Kick some *** SJ, UCONN, NOVA. That is the best way to shove this new college hoops world up where it belongs.

Seems like you can opt out if you say you don’t have enough players.
Still weird. Crappy, non-sensical tournament but sends the message they don’t care.
Big East is not going to be happy with Seton Hall. Then again the Big East refs F’ed us all year so who cares.
Don’t think any BE teams declined last year, but six B10 and three B12 declined invites in 2025.
To the academic endowments for students and not to SH wanna be minor league pro athletes. I opted out of PB last year and increased the donation to the academic side.
