@NJHoopsHaven Agree. This feels like an attempt by the P4 conferences to get the mid majors to be relegated to play in games. Will the 12 new at large teams all be playing in the play in games, or will it just be the 13, 14, and 15 seeds?

My fear with NCAA Tournament expansion: We won't see Saint Peter's get a crack at Kentucky or Princeton taking a swing at Arizona. Or to use a 2026 example, Siena pushing Duke to the wire. I don't want the MAAC and Ivy champs relegated to some out-bracket. That would suck.

@StevenACohen2 You’re becoming the Woody Johnson of MLB. Just stop

That was a big boy moment for Bo. Great to see

@NJHoopsHaven @SetonHallFan @AsburyParkPress Would love to see the athletic department give season ticket holders the opportunity to easily buy his jersey or have a giveaway night when the have a big game. Figure out a way for the arena to show their appreciation

Trey Parker is sticking around, and he's pumped. “This is going to be my breakout year.” Seton Hall’s lone holdover on his return, development under Sha, offseason focus, relationship with Del Jones, and more: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@SethDavisHoops Explain to me how 23 year old European pros coming to play NCAA basketball for more money is good for college athletics

Braylon Mullins’ decision to return to UConn is one of many examples that resoundingly refutes the narrative that NIL is bad for college athletics. Change is uncomfortable but when you have players turning down the chance to be first round draft picks to be college sophomore everyone wins.

@michaelgbaron Tell me one move that Stearns has made that’s worked out

Everyone wants to blame the manager for this #Mets mess. I don’t think he decided not to get a first baseman to replace their departed first baseman. Among other things.

@NJHoopsHaven @AsburyParkPress Thanks for your efforts. Your opinion on these matters is always appreciated

@RayOffenburger @AsburyParkPress I don't know the answers. I hear conflicting things (people have agendas). Will try to find out once the dust settles a bit.

It's tough enough that Seton Hall couldn't keep Najai Hines. Now the Pirates have to face the budding superstar center twice next season at UConn, and who knows how many more times beyond that. The days of Angel Delgado are long gone. app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@ShaunMorash This post right here explains why WFAN is where it is right now

This Artemis II landing is boring TV. Im trying man, but I think I’d rather be forced to watch an episode of the Joey from Friends spinoff 2nd show.

@ryansalfino There are going to be a lot of players looking for teams

Seton Hall is doing a lot of reaching out and nothing beyond that,because they can’t afford to retain OR buy anyone It’s really depressing at this point when you see every other Big East school making moves besides your own because they’re offering pirate pesto as an incentive

@BillSimmons @TheRewatchables @VanLathan @ChrisRyan77 No mention that Michael Pare was in The Greatest American Hero????

New @TheRewatchables — ‘Eddie and the Cruisers’ with me, @VanLathan + the Wordman @ChrisRyan77. One of THE crucial early-years-HBO movies. (I can’t prove this.) It’s finally streaming again. Now we need KISS OF DEATH. Watch/listen on Spotify or Netflix open.spotify.com/episode/08igXw…

@OrdinaryAvgRy @_samcalhoun I wish I had the pictures he has

@_samcalhoun How does Breeding get the big assignments? Someone up there actually thinks he’s that good?

Officials tonight: Ron Groover, Paul Szelc, Marques Pettigrew, Greg Nixon (Alternate) Should UConn advance, the title game officials are: James Breeding, Jeff Anderson, Kipp Kissinger, Alternate (TBD)

@TyreseSamuel_ No, the school is not willing to commit the resources to make a splash

Just to be clear, if/when Budd leaves it will be a complete tear down just like the last 2 years and NOTHING will have changed. Trying to remain optimistic about what’s going to happen in the portal, but the school does not have the resources to make a splash. That’s the reality

@NJHoopsHaven @SetonHallFan @AsburyParkPress Is this more on issue of Hines wanting top dollar or SHU not willing to significantly increase their budget from last year?

Big loss for Seton Hall as standout freshman center Najai Hines announces his intention to enter the portal. Here's more on a reality check about the Pirates' place in the resource landscape: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@NJHoopsHaven @nypostsports @NYPost_Brazille I think the Big East selection committee rep thought he was there to get the best assignments for his refs. “UConn and St John’s are in the same bracket, but look at the assignments I got for Potter!”

@nypostsports Matt Potter strikes again @NYPost_Brazille

The two controversial March Madness calls that nearly cost St. John's trip to Sweet 16 trib.al/1b4yggy

@NJHoopsHaven Thanks for staying on top of this @NJHoopsHaven. Hopefully this helps avoid some of the wild speculation

I asked with Shaheen Holloway about the players' decision to stop playing, why they did an apparent about-face from Friday, what's next for him and his effort to retain the core for next season. Here's what he said, in full: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@NJHoopsHaven @SetonHallFan @AsburyParkPress What happened since Friday?

Seton Hall basketball declines postseason invitations after missing March Madness. Here's more including a statement: app.com/story/sports/c… via @asburyparkpress

@bryandeno One could make the argument that they gave St John’s the 5 seed specifically so they could put them in same bracket as UConn

The fact the committee put UConn and St. John's in the East Region is just another slap in the face to the Big East. On top of that, they ship the Big East Regular Season and Tournament Champs to San Diego and then potentially back to Washington D.C. #NoRespect

@NJHoopsHaven More disappointing to see them in same bracket as UConn. Is this an attempt by P4 conferences to ensure they have better chance at getting teams in final 4 or lack of fight on Conference leadership?

So far, awful job by the committee handling St. John's. Do these clowns watch the games or they just let AI do the seeding?

@off_one_tenth @ryansalfino The resources exist. They are “choosing” to spend them on other things

@ryansalfino The “resources” don’t exist. Do you think they are choosing to not give him money?

The university and athletic department need to politely but clearly step up right now. Extend Shaheen Holloway, give him the resources, and let him build this the right way. Coaches like this don’t come around often. He should retire a Pirate.

@bryandeno @SetonHallFan Didn’t they call SHU the next day to apologize for the blown call?

It's shocking the Big East put Matt Potter on a Seton Hall game after what happened in Storrs a few weeks ago. Then again, this is the Big East.
