Seton Hall

[XU-PA]

Big road game for the Musketeers.
Tonight (Friday) at 9pm.

This will be a big test for X's defense, as the Pirates have 3 players averaging 16+ pergame.
There is a video link from SHU, and you can get sound from the XU radio team featuring Mike "Schmaltzy" Schmaltz

Not to look ahead, but this weekend is pretty big. After tonight's game at 13-2 Seton Hall, they play at the pre-season favorite, DePaul, on Sunday.

The women did get a mention on the Big East website:

OK,,, that was a reality check,,

there was some real fight in the game, XU went on a couple runs, one in the last half of the 1st period to tie after being down by about 10, then again early in the second half to get within 2 about 4 minutes into the 2nd. But SH clamped down on D and help XU to just a couple points in the last 6 minutes or so, turned into a beat down.

4 of their 5 starters, plus the first player off the bench scored in double figures. Interesting that their center kind of got lost in the mix, I didn't really get as handle on it since I was just listening, but perhaps our post defense shut her down??

SH had a little edge on the boards, didn't shoot well percentage wise, but they did not turn the ball over, and XU did. 22-5 on turnovers. SH got to take alot of shots. 85 shots taken in the game, to our 64

How this group responds from this will say alot, head up or head down going to DePaul???
