I don't know Hall's history of blown calls, but you guys have had 100X more success than we have the past few years. It's a lot harder to swallow this when our fan base hasn't had anything to cheer about in years. Every time we find a bit of success, it always comes with an *. Start 12-0? No credit due to easy schedule. Beat Duke and Nova? No chance at the Tournament. Make the Tournament? CO suspended for weed. It's ridiculous.
If we still end up making the Tournament, then this game won't be seen as a big deal. But for now it's really tough to accept the outcome.

I think we beat Marquette just because of the sheer desperation the program feels after losing this game. The fans at CA will be rocking because no one can really stomach an 0-2 start when one of the losses was a choke job + rig job combo

They will knock off a few good teams but lose lots of close ones too. Last night was terrible for the league because St. John's was coming in as a potential Big East Champ. Seton Hall was picked about 7th preseason. It's terrible for the league.
Tomorrow would have set up a potentially #25 St. John's vs. #15 or so Marquette. Now our momentum is dead and every pundit will be saying "SJ is a paper tiger, they just lost immediately to SHU!" all because of the worst reffing ever. LJ made a fantastic play and the game was ours. We never start off well in conference play and to already get our first loss 100% because of the refs is infuriating. Mullin will be fired after this season when we don't make the tournament.
