Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard conducted his postgame radio interview courtside at the CHI Health Center Saturday, reacting to a 77-60 defeat as Creighton’s students rushed the floor, a championship banner was revealed and the Jays players cut down the nets.

CU earned a Big East championship, yes. But it shared the title with Seton Hall and Villanova.

And yet the Pirates players were stuffed inside their locker room, lamenting over the frustrations after defeat.

That upset Willard. He sounded off. His radio interview comments were circulated among East Coast media sources after the game. Fans launched into debates on social media.

“I’m really pissed off that people are cutting down the nets and my guys are down there (in the locker room),” Willard said on his radio show, according to NJ.com. “I should’ve brought them out, but they’re not in a very good mood right now.”

Willard repeated himself a few minutes later during a hallway chat with reporters, joking that he planned to pay students to storm the court at Seton Hall’s on-campus arena while the Pirates raise a banner.

“I don’t care if I have to scotch-tape it up there,” he said.
