Game Recap: Seton Hall blows 8 point lead and loses in OT 76-70

Here is a quick recap. Rutgers came out and scored the first 9 points. From that point on, Seton Hall outscored Rutgers 32 to 17 by attacking the basket and getting open shots. In the second half, Seton Hall built the lead up to 8 points with a Jeremy Hazell layup with about 8 minutes left. Over the next 7:40 they made no field goals. Let me repeat that: for 8 minutes about, they made no field goals. Down by 3 with 10 seconds to go, the Pirates ran a great play and Jeremy Hazell knocked down a 3 from NBA range to go to OT. But, in OT we made a whopping 1 field goal and missed crucial FT's. Game over. Season Over. Now for some other things:
1. By far the worst player on the floor today was Seton Hall's Jeff Robinson. He was a pathetic 0-7 from 3 but that did not stop him from shooting them. I am so happy to see him out of a Seton Hall uniform. He is selfish and only cares about his draft stock, which right now is Europe. He is not an NBA shooter when he can't even shoot college 3's.
2. Jeremy Hazell was himself. He hit big shots at big moments and also made smart cuts and played great defense. He was, however 5-10 from the line and that ultimately cost us the game. But with 27 points, Haz kept us in the game. I can't wait to see him in the NBA and I look forward to it. (I will have a post about why I think Jeremy will succeed in the NBA this week).
3. Herb Pope was non existent. He was woeful. He had a measly 4 points and 4 rebounds. He fouled out in OT. If he wants to play in the NBA someday, he will need to be more consistent next year. He should average 15ppg and 10rpg with ease but he does not for some reason. (I will have a post about Herb Pope this week as well).
4. Jordan Theodore and Eniel Polynice played very well: JT had 12 points, 5reb, and 3ast. Polynice had 5pts, 8reb, and 6ast. However, they had a few too many turnovers and that is another big reason why we lost.
5. The Refs were atrocious. I am not going to blame the refs for the loss, but at least 5 times in the 2nd half, SHU played perfect defense and was called for a foul. Those extra FT's could be contributed greatly to our loss.

That is it for me now. I am very dissapointed about this loss and this season. Expect a season recap, a post about Jeremy Hazell and Herb Pope, a post about why I am happy I will never see JROB in a SHU uniform again, and a post about what Willard needs to do to improve his offense next year within the next week.
