NEW YORK, N.Y. - Seton Hall is still hanging in there against Marquette. The Eagles lead by 3 at the 8-minute timeout. The last sequence was like several tonight. A Seton Hall player was dribbling the ball when he got slapped loud enough for everyone to hear. He passed the ball, then shot the ref an exasperated grin. Then, another Pirate drove the lane and James reached in and thought he stole the ball, but he got called for the foul. Another frustrated look.

Oh, and all that stuff I said before about the shooting getting better. Forget that. It's bricks for everyone. If these guys had a free throw shooting contest, nobody would win.
