Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Bearcats: Seton Hall leads, 5-4
Last Meeting:
Seton Hall 60, Cincinnati 55 (F) – March 8, 2013 (XL Center)
AGAINST CINCINNATI
Seton Hall and Cincinnati haven't met since the Bearcats left the BIG EAST Conference. The Hall owns a slim 5-4 all-time series lead and has won three of the last four games. Their last meeting was a Pirates' 60-55 victory in the 2013 BIG EAST Tournament.
SCOUTING CINCINNATI
Cincinnati is coming off a 14-18 season a year ago, which included a 5-13 mark in Big 12 play. The Bearcats defeated UCF in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament, but fell in the second round to West Virginia. Cincinnati was selected to participate in the WNIT, but lost in the first round to Purdue Fort Wayne. The 14 wins were the team's most since 2019 and marked a five-win improvement from the prior season.
This year, the Bearcats were picked to finish 13th in the 16-team league according to the preseason coaches' poll. Mancini was named a Preseason All-Conference selection. Cincinnati brings back nine letterwinners, including four starters. Key returners include three of the top four scorers from last season: Jillian Hayes (12.9 ppg), A'riel Jackson (9.4 ppg) and Reagan Jackson (8.2 ppg).
The Bearcats welcome four newcomers to the 2024-25 roster: Tineya Hylton (senior, transfer from Texas A&M), Daylee Dunn (fifth-year, transfer from Loyola Marymount), Alliance Ndiba (redshirt junior, transfer from Arizona Western), and freshman Chloe Mann from Fort Worth, Texas.
Cincinnati enters Monday's contest with a perfect 3-0 record having defeated UIC, Delaware State, and most recently, Davidson, 68-50, on Wednesday. The Bearcats are holding their opponents to just 50.0 points per game and are shooting .435 from the field. Hayes is off to a strong start to her season, averaging a team-best 20.3 points to go with 9.7 rebounds per contest.
UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Thursday, November 21 when it returns to historic Walsh Gymnasium to host local non-conference rival Princeton. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the Pirate Sports Network and available for FloCollege subscribers. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.
