1 game tonight:

Columbia at Seton Hall, 7pm.

One of my earliest memories was as a 3 or 4 year old in 1971 or 1972... my father took my brother and I to a Columbia at Brown football game... at Brown Stadium... for some reason we sat on the visitors side of the bleachers... Columbia had a lion mascot that apparently made the drive up from New York, probably with the full lion suit on, windows down, elbow leaning on door, cigar stuck in his teeth, speeding one handed up the Connecticut Turnpike... anyway, the way I remember it, the freakin lion mascot terrorized me all game, kept returning to our seat area even though he knew I was scared of him... though my brother remembers it differently... anyway I would love for Seton Hall to get revenge on Columbia for that lion incident... revenge is a dish best served cold, especially a 45 year old dish.

if this was any tougher you would worry about it being a trap game big time for Seton Hall.

We still won't see Seton Hall's best tonight - that won't happen until they finally get Powell, Delgado, and Sanogo back healthy. That being said, I expect these guys to play like they have something to prove after a very disappointing Orlando trip. It's a chance to fix some things that went wrong and get ready to hit the road again, this time for Hawaii. Hopefully the Pirates can get the 3 guy mentioned above back to 100% for the upcoming tough games/big opportunities against Cal and South Carolina.

He sounds like the cowardly lion from Oz. You just needed to yell at him!

Huh? They're coming off of a bad loss and I doubt they're looking ahead to that big showdown with Hawaii next week. Hardly sounds the like the recipe for a trap game.

Back from 1 trip, and getting ready to go to Hawaii in December- probably leaving on Saturday- and you don't think it could be a trap situation? It totally sounds like a trap situation.
