Last night's problem wasn't Seton Hall's zone, it was Shabazz Napier's right leg

PrintI'll get this out of the way up top: even though UConn outscored them 41-40, Seton Hall deserves all the credit in the world for their play in the second half. Until I just looked up those numbers I would have sworn that the Hall outscored UConn by 5 or 10, because everytime UConn seemed to get a little momentum or string a few plays together, the Pirates would hit a backbreaking three or get a good basket in transition. They looked like exactly what they were: a relatively talented team riding the emotion of the crowd to play a perfect half and seal their biggest victory in at least a decade.
But I'm not really worried about the second half, because it's not where UConn lost the game. Instead, I'm focused on the last 9:44 of the first half. Why such a specific number? Because the 9:44 mark was when Aaron Geramipoor stuck his leg out as part of a dirty pick that hurt Shabazz Napier's right leg (if you want to see it, go to the 26:14 mark of the ESPN3 Replay). Napier went to the bench, and when he returned reporters on twitter noted that he looked visibly bothered by the leg.
Shabazz wasn't having a great night up to that point, but it wasn't terrible. He was shooting 1-3 with 3 points, 3 assists and 1 turnover. But after he went down on his ankle? He went 1-9, added 3 points, had only 1 assist and had 4 turnovers. The team as a whole had 10 turnovers in the next 10 minutes and UConn was outscored 21-9.
Were there other factors? Sure, and I'll touch on them after the jump, but at the end of the day UConn has no backcourt depth and they're going to live and die with Napier. When the announcers point out early in the second half that Shabazz has thrown the ball out of bounds the last three times he has driven to his right, it means something is wrong. We all know Napier can be erratic and make some dumb decisions, but he's not that wild. I have a hard time blaming the kid for trying to play through his issues, so at some point he needs to be sat down for a few minutes.
I have a hard time buying it was the Seton Hall's changing zones that utterly befuddled the Huskies for those ten minutes. After all, the Huskies scored 41 points against it in the second half. The problem was either that Napier wasn't there, or wasn't himself when he was.
I rewatched the first ten minutes of the game, where UConn looked great at first, jumping out to a 11-2 lead, and then stumbled to the 13-14 deficit that Napier got hurt at. Even that stumble wasn't terrible though. UConn had a bad turnover or two (breaking: Alex Oriakhi does not have great hands), but they were taking decent shots that just did not fall. They were simply a hot team falling back to earth. The problem is that they never got up.
It's hard to evaluate coaching when we can't see practice or hear what's said in the huddle, but it's undeniable that George Blaney let Seton Hall go on several extended runs without calling a timeout, and it last night's environment that's a mistake.
But this isn't the end of the world. UConn was going to lose some games in the Big East, and as I wrote yesterday, losing this one wouldn't have been a shock. It's also no secret that if Napier plays poorly the rest of the team will struggle. Most importantly, today, after a very long week, the Huskies will finally be reunited with Jim Calhoun, a sense of normalcy can be restored and the team can get back to business.

This is wrong
You guys scored 14 of your 41 2nd half points in the last 2:30 vs all backups. That means in the other 17:30 of the 2nd half you scored 27 points. Over the last 16:00 of the 1st half yous scored just 11 points. So over a 33:30 minute period of the game, you scored a total of 38 points. 11 points in the first four minutes and 14 points in the last 2:30 vs. backups. This was not just because of an injury, all though it played a part. This was because SHU’s defense, which is one of the best in the BE, completely confused your team and utterly destroyed them for most of the game. And it makes sense really, because according to Drummond, you had not watched film on the other team’s best player just a mere 24 hours before the game.

So I take it
you didn’t read the first paragraph where I gave Seton Hall a lot of credit for the second half and implied I wouldn’t discuss it in depth because it was clear they outplayed UConn?
And I’m not taking anything away from SHU’s defense. You’re a fine team, I thought UConn might lose to you for some of the exact reasons they did, but if you think you’re defense was the only reason Shabazz went from averaging 14 pts on 45% shooting with 6.4 assists to his performance last night, then you’re in for a rude awakening.
As for the game footage thing, I’ll refer you to your own coach:
Willard also called the Drummond-Pope controversy "one of the stupidest things" he’s ever heard.
"Why would he know?" Willard asked. “He probably just knew who No. 15 was. That’s the way we do it. If I had told Freddie Wilson to go stop (Providence’s) Vincent Council, he’d be like, ‘Who’s that?’ We play so many games against so many great players, it’s just one of those things.”
by Andrew Porter on Jan 4, 2012 3:48 PM EST up reply actions
Did you also miss the quotes from Pope telling the media that Willard repeated the words to him prior to tip-off?
Of course not. It’s called, playing the media. Calhoun isn’t the only coach good at it. Willard can play it too. There’s countless quotes outside of the one you selected.
Giving Seton Hall a lot of credit? You flat out said they lost the game in the first when AG tripped Shabazz, here it is:
But I’m not really worried about the second half, because it’s not where UConn lost the game. Instead, I’m focused on the last 9:44 of the first half. Why such a specific number? Because the 9:44 mark was when Aaron Geramipoor stuck his leg out as part of a dirty pick that hurt Shabazz Napier’s right leg
That’s like saying, no disrespect, before or after, disrespecting someone.
Never thought I would ever seen a blown loss blamed on a seldom used reserve. Dirty pick or not, that happens in just about every basketball game played. If it’s caught, guess what? It’s a personal foul. If Shabazz couldn’t play, he shouldn’t have come back into the game. Don’t make excuses for him, I’m sure he wouldn’t want that.
Also, Shabazz could have played the best game of his life and that wouldn’t have narrowed the gap to less than 24 points with 3 minutes to play. UConn got manhandled in every aspect of the game. This post is complete and utter silliness.

The loss isn't being blamed on him
the loss is being blamed on a complete lack of frontcourt depth (it’s a flaw with out team), so when your reserve makes a dirty move (watch the video) and it seriously affects our PG, we’re going to struggle a lot more than usual.

Why would he play if he was, "seriously affected?" Boatright can't fill in?
front court depth? Or back court depth?

Sorry, backcourt
and even if he did play, he shouldn’t have because he clearly wasn’t comfortable and he’s too essential to risk a serious injury (he hurt his other foot last week). UConn loses either way, and I’m fine with that, because Seton Hall was the better team last night from the second Shabazz got hurt (I’d argue the two were evenly matched before that).
Either way, we’ll see you again in a month, and hopefully again a month after that. You have a good team, and it was a good win.

Seton Hall would beat the '92 US Olympic basketball team
Satisfied that we have all properly bowed to the authority of the mighty Seton Hall?
Did you miss the part where he said “UConn will live and die with Shabazz”? In which case, yeah, a pick that gets Shabazz hurt with 30 minutes left in a 17-16 game will probably be detrimental towards UConn’s chances of success in that game.
You ran away with the game in the first half when UConn uncharacteristically committed 13 turnovers, and then when UConn started playing better on offense, you were unconscious from 3. Congratulations on your big win, but excuse us if we’re not going to genuflect in your general direction after one game.

Again, reference my block quote from above, it's a clear insinuation that UConn lost because of the, dirtiest play ever seen on a basketball court.
Oriakhi has never stuck his leg out when setting a pick? Really? If so, do you write in your recap that the other team lost the game when the pick was set? C’mon. The excuse is weak and your attempt at sarcasm is worse. Go back to solely posting link roundups, because you won’t see anywhere else someone pinning this loss on a dirty pick.

Watch the video
What did Geramipoor do? He stuck his leg out and tripped a player. It may not have been intentional, but it was dirty and he got called for the foul. I don’t really care about Geramipoor and his relative character. It could have been my mother sticking her leg out and I would have written that sentence the same way. I’m just highlighting the turning point. UConn was never the same from there on out.

This is fun. I don’t think we’ve ever been trolled by another SBNation editor on our own site. If it makes you feel better, I don’t really believe Seton Hall only has 1,000 fans. That’s what we call a joke, and sometimes when our team loses, as will occasionally happen, we make them to feel better.
I’m not sure how you’re missing the logical train of “Illegal pick → Shabazz injured/shook up/whatever → UConn plays much worse”, but that is all Porter is saying.
Would it have affected the outcome of last night if Shabazz was 100%? Probably not, given that no one else besides Lamb was scoring and Seton Hall played inspired in front of a big crowd. But when you’re talking about where things went wrong from a UConn perspective, which is what we do here at this UConn blog even if we only have five commenters or half the page views or whatever, it’s a perfectly fair comment to make.

I was in attendance for this supposed "big crowd"
and I’d hardly call it that. Half the second was curtained off and there were many emtpies throughout the bottom level. And those classy Hall fans were screaming every expletive behind the UConn bench at Blaney for not pulling his freshmen and sophmores from a game just because they themselves had decided to.

"Trolled" really?
All of the points I’ve made have been fair. The post written was ridiculous for blaming the loss on a dirty pick and that’s what you did. Whether you backtrack from that stance now, is besides the point. I could read 100 recaps from a UConn perspective on the game last night and not one would have referenced a dirty Aaron Geramipoor pick as the reason why the Huskies lost, or as you put it now, the “turning point.”

You seem to be confusing me for the author of that post
I’m trying to give you what I think is a reasonable interpretation of what Porter was saying, which I illustrated with arrows and such above.
That you continue to press the point because you feel that our UConn-centric analysis of “Man, things really went south for us after Shabazz got nicked up on a dirty play” is not properly respectful to your team is rather obnoxious.
Combined with the whole petty “our blog > your blog” penis-measuring BS on our blog, and I’d say that’s pretty close to trolling. (What seton hall and steelers has said in this thread, on the other hand, is not trolling.)

I am aware that the pick was dirty and that it affected the game
but saying that it wasn’t the Seton Hall defense that caused you to shoot 35% and instead it was that play, I am going to call shenanigans. That is not why you lost. It might be one of the reasons why but not the only reason. That is all I am arguing here is that you did not give enough credit to SHU for just how good the played last night.

Allow me to do so, if it will calm everyone down
Seton Hall played a wonderful game. Herb Pope is absolutely legit, a BE POY candidate, Theodore was a killer in the second half, and our frontcourt was unable to get anything done last night.
I truly hope Seton Hall is as good as they played last night. I hope you win 25 games and beat Louisville and Georgetown and Marquette and so on and make the Sweet 16, because I’m a Big East fan (and given I live in Jersey and hate Rutgers, I have kind of a soft spot for the Pirates).
I also believe this game was an aberration (partially because Shabazz was not right), and that if we played 10 times on a neutral court UConn would win six or more, but hey – we get to find out more about that in February, because sports are cool like that.
Fair?

Definitely SHU had a lot going for them and the next UConn game will show a lot towards who these Pirates really are
As will the next five games, which are all winnable games before a potentially huge showdown with Louisville. If SHU wins the next 5 games, which they should if they are legit, it will prove this win was for real. If they can then go 1-2 in their three games left with Lousiville, Uconn, and Marquette, it would all but guarantee that they go dancing come March. I for one, am not looking forward to the rematch with UConn because you damn well know that Coach Calhoun will have his troops ready for that game.

True
But despite that, a lot of them have the big game experience few others have, let alone having a whole bunch being on one team.
And I know I know, no more Kemba, which is obviously a massive loss, but enough to say this team is over rated when they are ranked at around 8-10? I disagree. I think that’s about where they should be. Maybe a bit lower.

heckling
Having seen every UConn-SHU game in NJ for the past 20 years or so, I’ll apologize for any gloating fans at the game the other night. We’ve certainly had to endure our share of UConn fans who couldn’t handle winning - in our arena- with class or dignity. I remember a couple of Jersey Shore thugs in UConn jerseys and backwards hats pumping their fists in my face a few years back, when we lost by about 30. From the look of these cromagnons, they certainly didn’t attend UConn, or any University for that matter (maybe Apex tech).
There was one well-dressed gentleman in the floor seats the other night who decided to flash a picture of him with the NCAA championship trophy to all of us behind him. We hadn’t been engaging or taunting him at all. But, down by 25 points with a few minutes to play, he felt compelled to wave a photo of his balding, plump, middle-aged self at us. In response, I let him know that the program he roots for is filthy and disgraceful. I asked him if he had heard of Nate Miles, or of a national championship program prior to this UConn team, whose coach was to be suspended following the NCAA tournament. Words failed him at that point.
ooh filthy and disgraceful... nice
i love it when people say that about my alma mater, because it means we are winning. nobody says that about Seton Hall, because no one cares about Seton Hall, and most people think South Orange is the color that Snooki’s back fat turns after too many hours in the sun.

1999: Khalid El-Amin arrested on drug charges.
2003: Mike Hayes arrested on drug charges.

2005: Jim Calhoun and staff shamelessly get involved with Doug Wiggins after he had already committed to St. Johns.
2005: AJ Price and Marcus Williams arrested on larceny charges.
-Justice UConn style. Same case, AJ Price suspended for entire 2005-2006 (he was expendable) season but All American Marcus Williams for just one semester (not so much).
March, 2005: Antionio Kellogg arrested on drug charges.
April, 2005: Antonio Kellogg arrested for criminal intent to assault a police
officer
2006: UConn coaches called recruit Nate Miles 27 times in December. NCAA rules
allow one call per month at most to recruits.
2008: Jerome Dyson and Doug Wiggins fail random drug testing.
2008: Nate Miles expelled for violating a restraining order.

2010: UConn spends $338,000 on lawyers in relation to the NCAA probe.
2011: Jamal Coombs-McDaniel arrested on UConn campus for drug possession.
2011: NCAA informs UConn of eight recruiting violations in the Nate Miles case.
Nate Miles is currently living in poverty in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio.
2011: NCAA puts UConn on notice and is sanctioned for subpar performance on the
NCAA APR (academic performance report).
2011: Jim Calhoun is given a suspension from three Big East Games for knowingly
allowing a booster and certified NBA agent to participate in the recruitment of
Nate Miles and to make prohibited financial contributions. UConn is given a
reduction in scholarships over three years as well as recruiting restrictions.
2011: UConn Administration approves the volunteering (i.e.taking) of an existing
scholarship from student athlete Michael Bradley to allow Andre Drummond to be eligible to play.
2011: UConn currently graduates 25% of its men’s basketball players. By
comparison, Notre Dame is at 90%, Villanova at 90%, North Carolina @ 88%, Duke
at 83%. The UConn women’s basketball team graduates 92%.
2011: NCAA investigating the eligibility of freshman Ryan Boatright. Suspended six games for receiving improper benefits.
2012: UConn will be prohibited from the 2012-2013 NCAA Tournament due to APR rating.
you seem to list a lot of things that players did wrong
and a few things that Calhoun was responsible for, and was subsequently punished for.
I do, however, like the editorializing…
“shamelessly getting involved” indeed.
as for the Price/Williams laptop scandal, you know that different levels of involvement in a criminal matter often warrant different punishments, right?
also not sure what the point of “Nate Miles is living in poverty” was…. but hey, whatever floats your Pirate ship.
