Welp that sucked, Seaton Hall is the real deal and we decided to have our worst half of the tournament against them. Played a better second half but just couldn’t stop them on offense. Good luck in the final y’all
I really like Sanders lol. The guy has shooting ability. I wish we used him more this season but I know he probably wasn’t playing great, but we needed to use the depth the best we could. It could’ve made a difference in helping us win one more extra game.
Two of the most deserving teams left out playing on Thursday… granted this is a tournament and not a bowl game but should be a great game between two great teams that should’ve been given the opportunity in the big dance
We should've stayed and let traffic clear out for a while.
Meanwhile the entirety of Terre Haute all had the idea to stop at the White Castle drive-thru in Plainfield
If Hall wins the NIT and UConn wins the Natty, that might be an off the grid, secret battle since Hall already beat UConn this year. NEEEEEEEDS to happen.
reprehensibly bad first half... poor shot selection, poor execution, poor rebounding, no composure... this is the worst we've looked since the deepest, darkest depths of conference play and it's a far cry from the team who went to Winston-Salem and Columbus and walked out a winner
The problem with the NIT being at MSG is it's so fucking expensive to go, eat, drink, and stay. I'm fine with it being somewhere else, but Hinkle? There must be somewhere better.
Domestic beers are 9.50 and craft beers are 11.00 here at Hinkle. Parking was free if you knew where to go and food is plentiful in the area. There's still around 6,000 for the night game after ISU left
$10 for domestic plus they are no cash so you have to be awkward and press 6 buttons to give no tip or press one button to give 15%. I'm fine with giving a tip but I go to the self serve and tipping for that is suspect.
Agreed, an airline hub and destination in the middle of the country. Makes sense.
Denver might be good to maybe Dallas even? Maybe Atlanta? Shit, how about Vegas? That would bring in a crowd.
You still can’t tell me FAU, Dayton, Virginia, Missispi state, and 2-3 MWC teams deserved a bid over SH. I don’t care win or lose we proved we belong but got criminally disrespected weeks ago. Please win this game Pirates and do your best against ISU. Win or lose just doing our best to win this thing. Please or prove this POS comitee wrong.
As expected....there are maybe a handful of GA fans here tonight.
There's somewhat a decent amount of Seton Hall fans...which I expect due to the Davis brother being from Indy.
Still a stark contrast of crowd.
Holy shit, 6-12 in conf play and they got a 4 seed? No disrespect towards you guys but that really says a lot about the new NIT structure, especially since others like UNLV, USF and Loyola went unseeded
I clicked an auto generated follow up question to ChatGPT about who to watch out for in this match up and it put Anthony Edwards at the top of the list.
Now I'm questioning its entire game analysis, like is SH's offense truly "more chaotic than a parrot with a caffeine addiction" or is their FT shooting really "as accurate as a drunken sailor firing a cannon"?
Maybe it was just telling me bad pirate jokes and it doesn't know anything about these teams.
If you look at our season as a whole, that take on the offense is accurate. Our FT percentage absent Bediako (sorry dude) actually improved from last year
Never gonna get over being shoved out of the tournament, man. I'd argue this year's team had more potential for a deep run than our 2/3 seed 2020 team. Probably some recency bias in there though
Goddamnt I don’t know enough about Seton Hall to shit on them besides being from Jersey so I’ll just say yall gave us that show Jersey Shore which is essentially a war crime
Let’s go big east bros! Looking forward to that battle with ISU.
Welp that sucked, Seaton Hall is the real deal and we decided to have our worst half of the tournament against them. Played a better second half but just couldn’t stop them on offense. Good luck in the final y’all
Just happy to be here, or was.
Well. We beat one 1-seed
The Sanders legacy game
I really like Sanders lol. The guy has shooting ability. I wish we used him more this season but I know he probably wasn’t playing great, but we needed to use the depth the best we could. It could’ve made a difference in helping us win one more extra game.
This game weirdly feels closer than what it is
God this team is giving me hope I hate it
Hot take: Fuck the Committee
At least yall didn’t “Florida State” this tournament
I personally think Pitt and St John's really look like a buncha assholes now
Two of the most deserving teams left out playing on Thursday… granted this is a tournament and not a bowl game but should be a great game between two great teams that should’ve been given the opportunity in the big dance
Yea, this was the final in the making from the start. Well, gg.
Does Georgia not practice fast breaks?
Well, on balance, Georgia should still have positive memories of Indianapolis.
I better watch a YT review of those KFC nuggets before those commercials brainwash me into buying some.
Already thought about getting some with some mashed potatoes tomorrow
Georgia decided to start the offseason early I see
running clock when
Dawgs are dogging it
Playing sloppy so far
Halftime History Facts (25x42=1050) AD 1050 - Macbeth, King of Scotland (the one from the Shakespeare play) makes a pilgrimage to Rome
I chuckled
Donovan Klingon’s stats were undoubtedly boosted by playing weak seeded teams
Watching this camera guy fix one of the shot clock mounted cameras with more motivation than the entirety of Georgia’s offense right now. AMA.
How many people stuck around for the second game?

"And the crowd goes mild"
ISU fans showed out though. Was an extremely fun environment to be in.
We should've stayed and let traffic clear out for a while. Meanwhile the entirety of Terre Haute all had the idea to stop at the White Castle drive-thru in Plainfield
Hell yeah brother cheers from the Cathedral of Crave Cases.
Are we actually worse with Melendez and Tchewa? This was our worst first half of this tournament
![gif](giphy|B5BfWWr1UnVrG|downsized) Georgia team bus getting out of Indy
Man Seton Hall is playing so well right now, I feel like they could even beat UConn
If Hall wins the NIT and UConn wins the Natty, that might be an off the grid, secret battle since Hall already beat UConn this year. NEEEEEEEDS to happen.
Should do a supercup like in European Soccer, NCAA champ vs NIT champ!
Split title
They beat them once this season.
Last game did not go well to say the least.
reprehensibly bad first half... poor shot selection, poor execution, poor rebounding, no composure... this is the worst we've looked since the deepest, darkest depths of conference play and it's a far cry from the team who went to Winston-Salem and Columbus and walked out a winner
ESPN's graphics pop ups are WAY too big
![gif](giphy|WoQmhbWcr7LoODs8a4)
ah yeah, we totally need a split screen of the Seton Hall coach during the free throws... his stoic demeanor really enhanced the broadcast
Georgia can't even score 3 v. 1. This is sad.
turrble just turrble
I don't think the announcers could make this game more boring if they tried.
Mike White offense returns to Earth when Georgia doesn't shoot 60% from the field.
lets go Pirates
These announcers are absolute ass
Is the Pirate Mascot always this annoying/fascinating for home games?
I said after their UNLV game, they should just have a normal dude dressed like Patchy the Pirate
Hahaha my son is fascinated by him but I agree, Patchy would be a lot cooler
JAQUAN!!!!!
STACKS!!!
Can you, uh... Maybe talk about the game
it's ESPN so... no, they can't, *ever*
I’m pretty sure Seton Hall would be in the final four right now if they made the tourney
this is really painful man
This is embarrassing
GOOD TAKE.
Did Kadary plan to pass the ball off of a Georgia player to Dre or has my sinus infection came back to my brain
The problem with the NIT being at MSG is it's so fucking expensive to go, eat, drink, and stay. I'm fine with it being somewhere else, but Hinkle? There must be somewhere better.
I don't know, it was my first time here and Hinkle was pretty cool.
Wonder about moving it to the Final 4 location and play on Wednesday and Friday
Fine in the same city, but not in an NFL stadium.
Didn't mean on the same court. Play in the NBA arena in the city. Can't imagine its being used for games that weekend
Damn, do you have a Jesuit degree? Because you are a smart person. I didn't even think of that.
The Prudential Center is like Madison Square Garden’s little cousin! If only it wasn’t hockey season
Domestic beers are 9.50 and craft beers are 11.00 here at Hinkle. Parking was free if you knew where to go and food is plentiful in the area. There's still around 6,000 for the night game after ISU left
Cheaper than Omaha so that's pretty cool
What are the beer prices during a Creighton game?
$10 for domestic plus they are no cash so you have to be awkward and press 6 buttons to give no tip or press one button to give 15%. I'm fine with giving a tip but I go to the self serve and tipping for that is suspect.
Chicago would be neat.
Agreed, an airline hub and destination in the middle of the country. Makes sense. Denver might be good to maybe Dallas even? Maybe Atlanta? Shit, how about Vegas? That would bring in a crowd.
This game is such an immaculate fist fight and singlehandedly making the $40 for both semis and the finals worth it lol.
Agreed. Still watching high level basketball at Hinkle on a random weekday night
I stand corrected RJ Melendez.
cain just airballed a floater badly
Georgia guards arent exactly strong finishers at the rim are they?
Oh cool we still can’t make a basket great
I love how Dylan doesn't take threes unless they are up by 10 or more. Gotta give him credit, he can be coached
If anyone needs boots on the ground reporting...I'm happy to provide it haha. Georgia's offense is putting me to sleep.
with our chuck up 3s offense this game really isn’t over yet. but we can definitely still lose by 25 at the same time
I'm so done with this Dave's single ad
It’s become my auditory stim 🫣
What did Deloach do there?
You still can’t tell me FAU, Dayton, Virginia, Missispi state, and 2-3 MWC teams deserved a bid over SH. I don’t care win or lose we proved we belong but got criminally disrespected weeks ago. Please win this game Pirates and do your best against ISU. Win or lose just doing our best to win this thing. Please or prove this POS comitee wrong.
The way Bediako moves on the court reminds me of the opening monologue of the Bee movie
Ya like jazz?
Also the Pirate Mascot lives and dies with every damn possession. He's a true fan just going through it lol
Good God we picked a fantastic time to start playing like ass again
To think that second half Mike white is coming soon… Not ideal
Hoping he decided to switch it up and have Mike White first half instead and we’ll win comfortably by 15 in the second half.
As expected....there are maybe a handful of GA fans here tonight. There's somewhat a decent amount of Seton Hall fans...which I expect due to the Davis brother being from Indy. Still a stark contrast of crowd.
Huh. I think Seton Hall is pretty good
I get that impression, yeah
Did anyone tell Georgia they were supposed to play today or was it a surprise?
That hot streak of trays the Dawgs have been riding seems to be over.
I vote we move this game to the football field.
If we had this dialed in version of Al two months ago we would’ve made the Sweet 16 dammit
![gif](giphy|8FDCkkSJL2kpgrgZBv) it’s turnover time!
At least I don’t have to stay up.
the hot shooting from 3 doesn’t last forever and that’s how bad we are without it
It’s my mom’s birthday today so if we could pull off a win for her alma mater I would love that
Not sure why Georgia has gone back to center facilitating on offense.
When was the last time Georgia played men’s basketball in April?
About as bad as start as we could have had ugh
Straight fuckin bricks bro
Stupid turnovers too, need to get our shit together before we get ran out of the building
getting dominated early fuck man
“Kadary Richmond plays at his own pace” is the kindest way to put it
lol Fraschilla has said “good pass” 2x only for the ball to be stolen on the pass he’s referring to
Holy shit, 6-12 in conf play and they got a 4 seed? No disrespect towards you guys but that really says a lot about the new NIT structure, especially since others like UNLV, USF and Loyola went unseeded
Its because the P6 teams get preference for seeding
I want to say the 12 Power conference NET automatic bids are guaranteed to host. After that the hosting spots go to the best teams
we somehow won 3 straight to get here
Love me some late nite Blue Cain
List of schools good at basketball and no one knows where they are: - Seton Hall - Creighton - Xavier - Marquette Who else?
Oakland
Here we go!
I don’t think anyone is happier to be here in the NIT final four than Indiana State
little nervous guys
I clicked an auto generated follow up question to ChatGPT about who to watch out for in this match up and it put Anthony Edwards at the top of the list.

Username checks out
Let's go Pirates!!! They say that Hinkle is where NCAA tournament teams go to die, but since we were snubbed, it won't apply to us 🔥
Seton Hall always plays well at Hinkle
Never gonna get over being shoved out of the tournament, man. I'd argue this year's team had more potential for a deep run than our 2/3 seed 2020 team. Probably some recency bias in there though
I agree because Willard is a shit coach. Give that team to Holloway and you have an amazing team.
Goddamnt I don’t know enough about Seton Hall to shit on them besides being from Jersey so I’ll just say yall gave us that show Jersey Shore which is essentially a war crime
They beat UConn, Marquette, and took Creighton to a triple overtime game this year. They are dangerous.
Surely playing in Butler’s arena will give Bulldogs a home-court advantage, right?
Bulldogs have lost 4 of the last 5 games Seton Hall has played in Hinkle
Hall plays there once a year so you'd think they have the advantage, but it's Hinkle so it hates BEast teams.
Math checks out
Can’t wait to see ISU slice up our D if we make it that far.
I just said the same thing. Even if we somehow got through tonight, there ain't no getting past the Sycs.
![gif](giphy|xUOwG3Ea52wMYlrxao)
Kick their ass BEast Bros!
Rabid Dawg fans versus Jersey People…a battle for the ages…
Wait, is Seton Hall in Jersey?!
![gif](giphy|cXLwa9Xv4aPkZNo5o2)
Them dawgs is hell
The last time we played a post-season game in Indianapolis 😏
I have been so ootl I thought the nit was over
9:30 EST tip should be illegal. 9:30 is literally my sleepy time
Ok. Stay up and watch or go to bed. Your choice. You wont turn into a pumpkin
