They struggle when they stand around period end of story. It freakin drives me nuts!!!!! There was a posession late, one of Cash's step back 3 moments, when the announcer said, "They couldn't find Kilpatrick." I thought couldn't find him? He has stood in the same place the last 3 posessions and made no effort to get open!! Find him? The pigeons could have built a nest on him!! That's not to pick on Sean, they all do it, but I was going crazy!! They're up 20 and start throwing the ball away, shooting quick 3's instead of looking for a good shot and running clock, and not moving. Can't tell you how pissed I was. Then the game ended and we won. I thought well 6-3 in league isn't too bad. Fact is that's all that matters. If you have to win ugly to win, win ugly. Just keep winning.

All true and I agree until your last couple of comments - the only reason today was a "W" is because it was Seton Hall. Virtually all of our remaining Big East opponents would have wiped the court with our uniforms!
Once we get a lead, we need to play with renewed enthusiasm and pad that margin until the final buzzer. Don't start killing the clock and don't start popping 3's. There was no hi/low post play today like last game. And, the man-to-man "D" was lacking. I think Mick is running out of ideas.
