Wow, I thought they were goners. Nice comeback win!

[Novachap]

Yup, hall fought thru an awful first half. Good win!

[Omaha1]

That’s an awfully impressive comeback. Pirates needed that one big time.

[GumbyDamnit!]

My goodness Seton Hall. This is not a good team. I have said this on other threads; their pieces just don't fit, and Mr. Glass aka Bryce Aiken is not going to fix this.

This post didn’t age well.

Nice comeback win SHU! Mamu was YUGE in this one.

Great Day for the Big East!!!

Glad I didn't tune out. Might've been a season saving win.

Great day for the Big East Conference.

Underdogs. Villanova, Xavier and Seton Hall all won. Heck, Georgetown looked good for 34 minutes.

Wow, I thought they were goners. Nice comeback win!

Once Penn State built their lead back to 84-76 with minutes left, who didn't think it was over. Amazing!

Maybe leaving some time for practices would've been useful? Just a thought. SHU's schedule this past week and continuing:

Monday: game against Iona
Tuesday: travel to Kingston, RI
Wednesday: game against Rhode Island
Thursday: travel to Omaha, NE
Friday: game against Oregon
Saturday: travel to State College, PA
Sunday: game against Penn State
Monday: travel back home to South Orange, NJ
Tuesday: game against Wagner

I'm making the generally safe but possibly incorrect assumption that they're traveling on off days rather than game days.

Yeah, and didn't they travel to Louisville straight out of covid-19 isolation? I can see wanting a schedule like this if you think your team is a world-beater (Baylor) or if your conference schedule is a cakewalk (Gonzaga), but SHU is neither. Should've taken it easy like Xavier imo.

I don't mind the quality opponent's as I don't think feasting on cupcakes does much to prepare you for big east play. The number of games and amount of travel is where i think he went overboard. If Willard wanted his team to play this much I think he'd have been better off just taking them to the Mohegan Sun bubble. Or at least trying to schedule games locally.

Great day for the League! 3 tough road wins topped off by SH comeback. The Pirates looked really good in the second half and the overtime!
