Tied up at 65 with 7 minutes left.

SH making the finals takes a little sting off losing to them.

Seton Hall the NIT Champions

Crazy ending.  Seton Hall on late 9-0 run to win 79-77!   NT is runner up!

[CMJ]

I usually give credit to the team that comes back, and Seton Hall deserves credit.  I gotta say though, Indiana State played pretty stupid the last 3 minutes and gave it away.

lol….no moral losses

I also doubt we could have beaten that ISU squad.

We would be 4 players short

Steton Hall was a strong team - tonight was their only real challenge through the tournament.

I thought Seton Hall would win tonight, but ISU played hard and proud.

We were definitely eliminated by a really good team.

If NT had been remotely close to Seton Hall in their game, the fact they won the NIT might have been meaningful.   As it is, losing to the eventually champ doesn't make NT look any better.  

Of course, now that the whole NT team has deserted; last year's play does not mean anything going forward.

That was a good game to watch.  Seton Hall was just a little quicker and more aggressive driving to the hoop.  That being said, the refs really let the game get too physical at times.  I've seen football running backs that couldn't stiff arm as well as some of the Hall guys did on drives.

St. Joseph’s would disagree.

You know, despite the injuries, we still had a pretty solid season.  And if everybody came back, would be in line for a really strong 2024-25 season.  I have not heard any of them already with an NIL deal. 
 

is Hodge chasing them away?   I have only met him twice.  He seems like a nice guy and players coach.  

there has to be a reason to this….and without NIL deals in place, what is the pull?

Maybe players are lazy and don't want to play defense ? Probably not true. But, just a thought 🤔

In the new age of players constantly looking for brand recognition and offensive opportunities, a defensive minded PROGRAM can consistently compete.

Agreed!
