Sorry, I didn't realize that Pike had a history of bringing in multiple NBA lottery picks to RU. My bad.
History doesn't matter. You said he was "gifted" two lottery picks. He wasn't gifted. He used relationships and either found the $ necessary, or he did an amazing job recruiting. There is no gift, unless you consider great relationships gifts.

Thank you people forget that rivalry games are just that. Throw records out the window.
Is it really a rivalry game if almost no one has ever played in it though? Maybe a rivalry to the fans, but I'm not sure that feeling moves to the court.

Every seton hall loss makes me as a fan feel sillier and sillier for jumping for joy at that buzzer beater

This is the worst seton hall team I’ve seen in about 20 years

It’s starting to look like Eddie Jordan’s last year for them

Yeah, this, plus "if you lost your two best players you'd be even worse than us!" is not quite the own you think it is lol.

Question of semantics. I will retract the term "gifted". However, a corporate sponsor paid 7 figures each for Harper and Ace.

Yes, but the corporate sponsors are irrelevant to why they are at RU, aren't they? That $ was following them wherever they went. It would have been with them at UConn, Nova, Duke, ect
