Win one for me

WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO BE FAVORED?!!!! (FYI, this is the only line I've seen and I'm writing this on Tuesday EST so this might change, but still. We should be double digit dogs.)

Reminder people - I am currently in transit to Australia as this game airs. I won't be able to watch, or chat. Sounds like we're improving, which is about all we can ask for at this point. This would be a great win, and it'd be nice to put a black mark on Seton Hall's Cinderella season thus far.

Sooooo

JVP was in beast mode. As was Wayns. Holy crap.

Referree'ing in this game has been terrible...

And entirely in Nova’s favor. Nonetheless, good to see you guys clearly establishing your position above Pitt in the BE standings.

Thanks for the heads up

I’m in Australia and can’t watch the game…

At this point I’ll take a W any way we can get it.

Who was that team?

Yes, the Pirates looked like the ‘former’ Cats shooting the rock, but wow! Looks like Nova just got tired of losing and consumed a six pack of five hour energy before the game. They scraped and scrapped for 40 minutes. They keep this up and they will knock off just about everyone on their schedule!

What was up with Mouph?

Seemed he had little to no impact via the box score

Played OK

Not aggressive enough. He didn’t shoot, but he got boards, and didn’t turn the ball over. Their bigs were in foul trouble. And JVP went off and got to the line. I still think Mouph will have a break-out game, but it was JVP’s night. Good for JVP.

Good Win

played big. Lots of free throws. JVP and Mouph on the floor together most of the game. Now just get to the point where we ban Cheek and Wayns from shooting 3s. Edict. Ban. Zero 3s. Good game, good win.

Mouph...

Very little scoring but ok on boards. Pinkston played out of his skull. In second half, seemed like he was vying for every defensive and offensive board. Cheek had great first half. Hilliard tossed in a few three’s. St John’s is in big trouble Saturday.

I hope SJU is in trouble

We’re so Jekyll and Hyde though…

No wonder you guys never lose at home

those refs were completely awful. 41FTs to 16.

Don't shoot so many 3's

And you’ll get more calls. It was one-sided yes, but you don’t help yourself shooting 30+ 3’s in a game, including 17 in the first half.

We had the same nightmare earlier this year. We played our game in the paint today, hence the fouls. Y’all played yours on the perimeter.

We lost to the South Florida Bulls at home, so the bar is not that high

Even still, you’re right, we don’t lose to Seton Hall at home. Even as a bottom feeder we keep that small amount of dignity.
