After having six days in between his teams 103-98 double overtime loss to Providence, head coach Shaka Smart’s message was simple heading into the game against Seton Hall; bring the Energy Generating Behaviors.
“Our theme for the game was EGB’s, we challenged our guys from the opening tip to the final buzzer to get 3,000 thousand as a team,” Smart told ESPN Milwaukee broadcasters Steve “The Homer” True and Tony Smith in a post-game radio interview. “We hadn’t in a game had more than 1,500, we needed to double our all-time best and we got 3,046.”
The Golden Eagles did just that Tuesday night inside Fiserv Forum as they used all 3,046 of those EGBs to improve to 2-1 in Big East play with a 83-69 victory over the Pirates.
