1. With 8:32 left, we were up by only 5. Arch and Bridges made the spread 10 by making 5 free throws in a row. Not one of them touched even the rim. No extra points for that, but our guys definitely looked comfortable even when SH made their runs.
2. The difference in the way the Creighton and Seton Hall games were officiated was pretty striking. I prefer the way last night's game was called, but aside from that, our players and coaches deserve far more consistency than that.
3. I wouldn't feel any more strongly that Kevin Willard is a douche if he tattooed "I am a douche" on his expansive forehead.
4. Fred Hill is a sexy guy these days. I feel like he toned down the extra hair this year. I continue to endorse him for the Rutgers job when Eddie Jordan gets fired.
5. I never thought I'd see Brunson play a game like that. He was way off. Even his open looks didn't come close.
6. The dagger by Hart with 4:18 left to extend the lead to 13 was tremendous.
7. I hate to say it, but Seton Hall reminds me a little of our 2003-04 team. They are super-talented in that sophomore class; they just have no attention to the little things that are needed to win games. Fortunately, they are stuck with Willard and likely won't have a Lowry type coming in behind that class. I'll be surprised if all the sophs are there next year and shocked if they all stick around to be seniors. That's just not how Seton Hall rolls.
8. As satisfying as that game was (and it was my favorite of the season, given the opponent), Seton Hall does expose some of our weaknesses, which will be big problems against some Big East teams (Providence comes to mind) and certainly major conference teams in the Tournament. The game in Newark also will be no fun.
