    My thoughts on Big East expansion

    Big East should only expand with schools who are going to move the needle from a revenue generation standpoint. From a competition viewpoint, those 3 are similar to middle to lower-third of the conference teams and they fit in with the basketball-first mindset. They would provide depth to the...

    Mighty Uconn

    Have to root for UConn. Not only to keep the Big East respectable with the P4s who despise us, but for the money. The Big East teams badly need revenue and with only 3 teams making the tournament, that really hurts revenue. Thankfully with UConn making the Final, it raises the BE to about 10...

    Class Action Lawsuit filed against Rutgers Athletics for Squandering Money of NJ Taxpayers

    That shot chart shows the difference in offensive philosophy and coaching. Creighton knows what a good shot is and drives an offensive culture and strategy centered on spacing, controlled penetration, ball movement and catch and shoot 3s.. Not 1 shot attempt in the midrange. Everything at...

    Hines enters portal

    Can't blame him. I wonder what Sha offered? Hines is going to get $3M+ and it's just too much for us. We have a weak budget and Sha doesn't like spending big on individual players. I can't see Sha offering a player more than he makes.

    Great. Will Budd stay or are we building an entire team from scratch again?

    Good job Setonian

    Seton Hall gives every incoming freshman and 98% of all students some form of need-based or merit-based scholarship. Very significant amounts averaging $25,000 per student per year totaling $170 Million awarded in University aid per year. They need to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and develop...

    Simpkins Portal

    Would have liked him back because he showed promise, had a good team attitude and I believe in the concept of continuity. Players have shown they get better under Sha in Year 2. But its all about who you replace him with. Our GM is reaching out to a lot of 6'4-6'6" G/F types. A couple...

    Simpkins Portal

    Definitely hit a wall at end of January. Through the first 21 games, we were 15-6 and he was great. Averaged 11.2 points on 45.6% FG% and 42.6% from 3. An impressive eFG% of 54.7%. The final 12, the team slumped (6-6) and he sucked. Shot 30.1% from the Field and 25.0% from 3. I'd like to...

    Kevair Kennedy

    His game is far too similar to Budd's to start them both in the same backcourt. The biggest difference between the 2 is that Budd has a very good midrange jumpshot while Kennedy has no midrange game at all but is better at scoring in the paint. 83% of his shot attempts come from the paint. His...
