College basketball love, founded upon the three pillars of information, analysis and humor. Curated by Eric Angevine

  1. Why I love college hoops, reason number 1,403

    Seton Hall walk-on player Peter Dill goes crazy with his celebrations in the Pirates big win over UConn. Love this.

  2. Shock at the Rock: Seton Hall 75, No. 8 UConn 63 | New Jersey Hoops Haven

    “The emergence of freshman forward Brandon Mobley could be the X-factor that puts this team over the top. The Pirates were desperate for an impact reserve and now they have one. Mobley set the tone early with eight points and seven boards in the first half. He can shoot, he can bang and he can defend. This after missing several months with a serious shoulder injury. Imagine how productive he’ll be once all the rust is off. “

  7. South Orange Juice talks nice about Jordan Theodore: “There was a story in the Star Ledger Saturday that Jordan Theodore asked to be named this year’s Captain, a tall task for anyone. The coaching staff thought he was worthy of the honor.  Well, I think Theodore showed why he deserves the honor. The offense down the stretch ran through him and him only. He had one HUGE mistake (a traveling violation with mere seconds remaining in regulation that might have ended it), but shook it off to drive strong to his left and bank in the game-tying layup to force overtime. In the overtime session, he scored on a similar play to that which he tied the game, sinking the basket plus the free throw to give Seton Hall a lead they would not relinquish. That’s what a captain does- when things get tough, a captain takes the team on his back and leads them. Theodore did that tonight. The numbers were not efficient at all, but Theodore came up huge when he needed to. He even iced it with free throws; at 9-10 tonight, he was the only Pirate who attempted a free throw in the game to miss less than 2.” (via Seton Hall Basketball: JP’s 5 Thoughts- SHU 75, St. Francis (NY) 71 (OT) - South Orange Juice)

  8. “During his second season as the head coach at Iona College, Kevin Willard made his initial 30-hour round trip to the Canarias Basketball Academy in the Canary Islands off the Northwest coast of Africa. ‘I flew over there during the April period and met with [head coach] Rob [Orellana] and watched what they did and was really taken back at how great of a program he ran,’ Willard recalled. ‘I thought I was going over there and just going to see a bunch of guys running around. And they worked out at 6:30 in the morning, they worked out at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and they worked out at 8:45 at night. Every day.’ (via Seton Hall Has Pipeline to Canarias Basketball Academy | ZagsBlog.com)

  10. Seton Hall media day, version 3.0 | New Jersey Hoops Haven

    Oops, posted this Seton Hall story (and several others) on my personal tumblr instead of STF.

    ericangevine:

    Seton Hall’s expectations may be tempered by a lack of depth behind a strong core.

    The Pirates have a solid six, and then it gets interesting. You have the core of Theodore, Herb Pope, Fu Edwin and Patrik Auda. Willard and his staff are high on the progress of freshmen guards Aaron Cosby and Haralds Karlis. The big key is who else steps up and proves to be Big East-caliber, because six is not enough to survive the conference grind.
