    Well it was a chilly morning here in Jersey today. Got into a nice parking spot well early enough before the doors opened and decided to go find some place warm while we waited. Passed by Dino BBQ but it was a bit too early and stumbled into this building caddy-corner to Prudential. Got some Dunkin Donuts in this office building and realized it turned into the Hilton, which then turned out to be the team hotel. Couldn't believe it. Lots of Shocker fans milling around and as the 4 of us ate our food in the downstairs lobby, there goes Lynn and Maggie prancing on by. Lynn is ready and rearing at all times. Seems very fun to be around. They all headed towards their ground transports and we wallowed back to the "Rock". Nice building. Clearly the home of the Devils though.

    5 minutes left til tipoff and the lower bowl was maybe 1/4th of the way full. Probably 30% Shocker fans at that point. Great representation of Shocker Nation, embarrassing statement by Seton Hall. It did fill though with a late arriving crowd in the middle sections.

    Lots of Shocker fans in Section 7. We were nestled up towards the top. First half was fun. After about 10 minutes, it really felt like we were gonna cruise to a 20 point blowout. Place was like a morgue. Honestly, the CenturyLink Center may have more of an atmosphere than this place. They just don't cheer and definitely don't sustain it, no matter how the announcer pleaded, as he would curiously give a brief play-by-play or nugget every time Seton Hall scored (a little annoying).

    The Seton Hall fanbase was cordial though, many saying they couldn't believe we made the trip so far away. Pirate fans loved the club section above us at halftime. Well into the second half too. Seemed like it turned into a social gathering rather than a basketball game. As Seton Hall came back in the 2nd, some bandie 25 year olds started chirping a bit more behind us on the concourse. Still though, mostly everyone else was pretty pleasant. Lynn and a SHU fan got into a small yelling match about what was a foul. The SHU fan ran 10 rows down from his seat to engage with her. I thought that was pretty childish. Lynn didn't back down though. That was funny.

    Such a winnable, winnable game. Couldn't believe how close FVV's desperation heave at the end of regulation nearly fell in.

    The place got loud at the end, because they knew they escaped with a marquee win with some zebra help. Lots of bandies though. Half of the fans we encountered after they game thought we were ranked. Still though, no ribbing. Good fanbase.

    Kinda soured the start of our vacation week. Only temporarily. Gonna spend some time with the in-laws, putz around, head into the city later, and enjoy the holiday. Players represented well and so did the fanbase. Had several people compliment how surprised they were to see how well we traveled. Considering the complete hose job, I thought our fans behaved well. We complained, but weren't assholes about it or anything. And SHU fans knew they were getting an early Christmas present from the officials.

    Whitehead is a little *****. He has good game but it is a punk and a thug. The fact that he's done the staredown thing multiple times tells me how undisciplined he is. Too bad.

    Oh and the Pirates of the Caribbean theme where everybody does their weird Pirate arm-flapping reminded me of the dumbass Wildcat Wabash Cannonball where it looks like everybody's trying to impregnate the air. Really weird. Oh and help out the flag-barrer guy. I thought he was gonna take out some cheerleaders before he got his bearings together.
    Cliffs please....thought you were going to break out the slide projector..."what I did on my winter break"....Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Each of them needs to have a nice, long introspection session so they can wake the freak up and start playing like we know they are capable of.

      Let's identify the up hill battle the Shox need to overcome now. A 1-5 record against the RPI top 50. Belonging to the 13th rated conference in the nation, (the FREAKIN' Summit League is three spots ahead of us for Pete's sake!). No inside game/presence whatsoever. IF they win 20 in a row, they finish 25-5 and have an at-large bid locked up. A 24-6 record should do the job too. 23-7 it's 50/50 but 22-8, 21-9 or 20-10 and it's going to take a championship in St. Louis to get the bid. Anyone think we go undefeated or lose just one game the rest of the way? Didn't think so.
      It depends how they get to 8 losses...If they lose to NIU and Loyola on the road and again in the MVC CG they will get an at-large with 8 losses....book it

        • I'm sure SH played a fantastic game, but I missed it trying to figure out what the refs were doing.

          21 Turn overs is inexcusable for any reason. There were some bad TOs there. Again it is hard to know how good SH defense was because the refs kept calling/missing fouls.

          Fred kept drinking the lane, trying to get a foul call. It wasn't happening. The refs found a consistent theme on this. Kudos to them.

          I think Shaq missed one shot. I wouldn't call that consistently missing the bunnies.

          Conner was exactly what I expected today. Glad he's on the team.

          Zach and Markis were okay today, but I really like those two at the SF.

          Great to have Anton back!

          I'm not worried about the Shockers this year. We are very good! I am worried about our resume. Seton Hall was important in that way.

          The Pirates have a very good team. I might try and watch them in the future in a game I'm not biased in watching.

                      Actually I was smart enough to stop reading after first two sentences.....stop posting and go enjoy NYC. Thats a lot of money to spend on a vaca to sit around posting angry...There will be plenty of time to spew your usual venom when you return.

                          Please don't ruin this thread.

                          Awww screw it, the refs already did. Whatever.

                              Rauno needs to go back and petition the NCAA to get his R-shirt back. He isn't ready for Emporia State, let alone D-1 competition. The guy obviously needs to go on a diet consisting of nothing but red meat and high carbs.
                              Bush, never mind.
                              Nice to see Anton today. Just smiled at the sight of him running up and down the court.
                              I'm sure he has had major medical evaluation but I cringed anytime there was physical contact with him. Seeing him on the floor in Fla is still haunting.

                              Comments about Ron and Fred not trusting their mates is spot on, at least today. Just not used to seeing Fred try to force so many drives when it clearly was not there.

                              CF is clearly a catch and shoot, but his lack of strength hurt today. KB needs to duplicate the same program for him that worked for Tekele.

                              Long way to go. Blow Nevada and NM State away and then get after The Valley (which will not be nearly as easy as some on here think).

                              That is all.
                              What, you're breaking the game down this thoroughly, throwing bricks at Shaq and don't have one DAMN thing to say about Mr. Glue Guy, Evan Wessel, who does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the entire game, until the end when he throws up almost back-to-back bricks, with one totally flying UNDER the rim. My eyes are nowhere near as bad as his are, but I don't think the brick I would have thrown up would have been closer.

                              He needs to be off the court if it's late and the game is on the line. He's an offensive liability.

                              NOW that is all!

                                Khan,
                                How did I throw a brick @ your good friend Shaq?
                                I stated the facts - he scored 6 points in the 1st 3 minutes and didn't score again. He took one shot the rest of the game which he missed from one foot.

                                Hello McFly.

                                Maybe you should get HCGM's cell number and text your in game recommendations. I'm sure he will check for advice throughout the game.

                                That is all.
                                Above all, make the right call.
