The Pirates have had some impressive wins over the likes of N.C. State and
Pitt, but there are also some bad losses. Jamar Nutter and Donald Copeland
can hit the long ball and Kelly Whitney can hold his own under the basket
against anybody, but it pretty much ends there. The important thing for
Seton Hall is finding another scoring threat or two. Players like Brian
Laing, Stan Gaines and Marcus Cousin are roleplayers and need to be more
consistent. Grant Billmeier may not have big numbers, but the 6-10, 250
pound center provides a much needed big body under the basket. Watch out
for freshman Paul Gause. He’s extremely talented and could have a coming
out party on college basketball’s biggest stage.
