On New Year’s Day, fans filled the Carnesecca Arena.
Despite the controversy over the ending of the Seton Hall game, there was surprisingly little mention of it. I did talk to one person who wanted to dwell on the game as we waited for the Johnnies to start their home Big East opener.
One fan, who attended that game in Newark, shared his observation that, before the game, the Johnnies were hitting jump shots with regularity in warm up drills. However, during the halftime warmups, the team was coming up short on their shots.
“As the second half began, I was concerned, even though we were the better team,” he shared.
