MU-SHU predictions, other pre-game comments
Sorry this is so late..was at high school football all day...
My thoughts...SHU pressure wears MU down, 73-65. SHU's lowest point total this year was 76-71 loss to FDU. MU would need to hold them in the 60's to win, too difficult a task.
From the SHU web site...
SETON HALL-MONMOUTH SERIES
Seton Hall and Monmouth will meet for the eighth time, with the Pirates having won every game in the series, 7-0. Last season, SHU defeated Monmouth, 61-45. Every game has been played at Continental Airlines Arena.
OUTLASTING THE GAELS
Seton Hall won their first overtime game of the season in a 93-82 victory over St. Mary’s for their third consecutive victory. The Pirates outscored the Gaels, 17-6, in the extra period fueled by the defensive exploits of sophomore Paul Gause. Gause tied the single-game record for steals with eight and chipped in a career-high 21 points in the victory. The Pirates won the game despite being out-shot, 44.6 percent to 46.2 percent, and out-rebounded, 34-42. Seton Hall used their trapping defense to smother the Gaels and force 24 turnovers and make 14 steals. Junior Jamar Nutter led the way for the Pirates with a season-high 24 points. Senior Stan Gaines scored a career-high 14 points. Freshman Eugene Harvey had a nice all-around game with 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals.
MEN OF STEAL
Through five games this season, the Pirates have enjoyed the fruits of their relentless full-court press, picking up 71 steals as a team. Their average of 14.2 steals per game leads the BIG EAST Conference by more than two. Sophomore Paul Gause has led the Pirate charge in this category. He recorded a career-high five steals at Morgan State and then tied his new mark with five more vs. St. Peter’s. Then, against St. Mary’s he re-recorded his career-high and tied the Seton Hall single-game record with eight steals. As a result, Gause leads the BIG EAST with a 4.60 steals per game average. Freshman Eugene Harvey ranks fourth in the conference with 2.60 steals per game, while junior Jamar Nutter is tied for 11th with 2.00 steals per game.
NO PAUSE IN GAUSE
Sophomore sparkplug Paul Gause has made two starts this season, but has shined in coming off the bench the last two games. In a tremendous performance against St. Mary’s, Gause scored a career-high 21 points in 33 minutes of action and picked up eight steals, tying the Seton Hall single-game mark for steals held by former Pirate Levell Sanders. Against St. Peter’s, Gause hit three clutch three-pointers and finished with 12 points. He also added three rebounds and tied his career-high with five steals in 18 minutes of action. At Morgan State, Gause contributed 13 points, eight rebounds and set a career-high with five steals. In five games, he has been a key component to the Pirate’s trapping defense.
PIRATES vs. THE NEC
Seton Hall has had a long history of success against the current teams of the Northeast Conference, owning an all-time record of 122-40. The Pirates will attempt to even their 2006-07 record against the NEC with a victory over Monmouth. The Pirates lost earlier this season to Fairleigh Dickinson, 76-71, which snapped a 33-game win streak against the conference. The Pirates have never lost to Monmouth in seven games.

Forgot to mention. Rickie Crews will travel to SHU Monday and dress per Calloway.
Okay...In my opinion I think MU will play a tough game, but I just think the magic will fall a bit short because of the athletic factor. Swami says...SHU 67 MU 62..It physically hurt me to type that, I want this win so bad.
Survey says, Hawks will be "Crewsing" by the Pirates 71 for MU 64 for the other white and blue! This should be one hall of a game $@#!
By the way, Eagles 14 Panthers 24!
The swam? I like it!
MU will at least spare me watching those other Birds Monday...though I believe Greg (why must I care?) Viscomi plans to attend
Hey TG
Tim Walker here for the prediction of the game. Monmouth will play them tough as the Rider game was a wake up call but not enough.
Hall-68
MU-59
I will be spared a little of the Birds tonite as I have my first game tonite against Interboro. but I get to see the 2nd half.
Eagles in a tight one
17-14
TG Think Michigan got snubbed??
Timmy...where are you coaching...I think everyone (well me anyway) would be interested!!
Timmy Walker is a former Monmouth U men's basketball manager..one of a legendary group...
TG
Thanks for the kind words. I actually wear my ring every game I coach. I coach at CB West. Better known for its football program in the 90s. Its in Doylestown PA and I am a varsity assistant. Go Hawks
Tim Walker
Tim Walker versus Tim Warner, dont know the former, but the latter was a hell of a Hawk. WHo was more valuable to the program Tony?
MU 94 SHU 61, Coach Billet suits up and scores a deuce in a Hawk blowout!
Tim Warner.. Tim Walker....a truly impossible question to answer..
Well..Walker, from all my sources in the laundry room, could handle TIDE better than most managers in MU annals....and Warner had how many career points?
I'm gonna lose sleep over this one..
