The Hall outscores the Red Storm, 17-to-9 in the extra session.
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Three Pirates scored at least 16 points and the Seton Hall women's basketball team outlasted St. John's, 74-66, in overtime before a raucous Walsh Gym crowd on Monday.

St. John's forced the extra session with a late run and a game-tying three-pointer with only 34 seconds left. In overtime, however, the Pirates upped their intensity and got a pair of three-point plays from Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) and Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) before a massive three-pointer by Sha'Lynn Hagans (Manassas, Va.) to pull away from the Red Storm.

Baines started slow, but finished with team-highs of 17 points and 13 rebounds. Both Gray and Kae Satterfield (New York, N.Y.) had 16 points, while Hagans had a season-high 10 points off the bench.

Senior Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.) had another strong game at the point with six points and game-highs of 10 assists and four steals.

THE STORY:
Seton Hall scored the first five points of the second quarter, and a jumper by Satterfield gave The Hall its first lead since the first bucket of the game, 15-13. Trailing 21-18, the Pirates scored six of the next eight points and a three-pointer by Gray put them on top, 24-23, with 41 seconds before halftime. A St. John's free-throw tied the score, but Wright sliced through the lane to beat the halftime buzzer and give The Hall a 26-24 advantage at the break.

The Hall scored the first four points of the third to grab a 30-24 advantage, but St. John's responded with a 7-0 run to capture a 31-30 lead with 6:18 left in the quarter. Seton Hall answered with a 12-4 spurt of its own, and a pretty fake and finish by Hagans with 58 seconds left gave it a 42-34 lead.

A jumper by Hagans with 8:53 left in the contest gave The Hall a 45-37 lead, but the Red Storm bounced back with a 7-0 burst to cut their deficit to only one, 45-44, with 6:53 remaining. Despite a strong defensive effort, St. John's Ber'Nyah Mayo hit a deep three pointer with 34 seconds left to tie the game at 57. The Red Storm had a chance to win, but I'yanna Lops (Stamford, Conn.) blocked Jillian Archer's shot with only five seconds left to preserve the tie.

In the extra session, the Pirates never trailed. Leading by one, Baines made a layup and was fouled for a three-point play. After The Hall's lead was cut in half, Gray had a three-point play as well to boost the Pirates' lead to 67-62 with 2:10 left in overtime. Leading by six with 48 seconds to go, Hagans drilled a dagger of a three-pointer in the corner to put The Hall up nine, 72-63.

Seton Hall admissions…

Question on Seton Hall admissions… Do you know if Seton Hall is actively rejecting / waitlisting students who they don’t think will not attend to lower admission rate? My son is a senior and going through the college application process. He has been going to SHU games with me (alum) and my father in law (also an alum) since he was very little. We are a big Seton Hall family on both sides. I think he wants to leave NJ for college but applied with a little urging from me. I am not going into stats and all that but he is a strong student and got waitlisted. As info he got into Villanova. He was a little miffed and I was too… Only thing he could think was he was honest on the application and said Seton Hall wasn’t his “first choice”.

FS1 - no replay

I know they have a schedule and understand not changing last nights schedule. But tonite they again replay the purdue game and replay uconn nova for the third time.

Will there be a mire thrilling game in college basketball this year? One with heroic play and both teams getting blatantly screwed by bad officiating.

First they take away an nc by calling a foul that never happened. Then they take away yesterday by calling a foul that never happened.

Maybe the OTs are on youtube now?

Seton Hall Falls In 3OT To #18 Creighton


By: Colin Rajala

If you did not know it was only January 20, you would have sworn it was March in the Prudential Center Saturday afternoon.

Creighton entered as the 18th ranked team in the country as Seton Hall came into the matchup one of the hottest teams in the country, winners of five straight and eight of their last nine.

Both teams proceeded to trade knockout blows in a classic battle of Big East heavy weights with the Bluejays (14-5, 5-3) outlasting the Pirates (13-6, 6-2) 97-94 in triple overtime that proved to be a war of attrition.

Seton Hall held a two-point lead with 12 seconds left in regulation and had the pressure firmly on Creighton’s shoulders after forcing back-to-back timeouts on side-out inbounds, the Bluejays ultimately got the ball in and Steven Ashworth converted a layup through contact with three seconds remaining to tie the game at 67.

In the second overtime, The Hall trailed by four with 16 seconds remaining when graduate guard Al-Amir Dawes was fouled attempting a three from the wing. He proceeded to calmly knocked down all three freebies to close the score to 83-82.

On the ensuing possession underneath Creighton’s basket, senior guard Kadary Richmond stole the inbounds pass before dishing it off to Dawes for a layup and what appeared to be an 84-82 lead with just 12 seconds remaining, but the referees waived off the made basket, instead signaling a foul on Ashworth to send Richmond to the line – turning the deafening cheers from the home crowd into a cascade of boos and jeers.

Richmond knotted the score at 83 before his second free throw rimmed out, prompting a third overtime.

The Pirates built an 88-83 lead in the third overtime on a three from Dawes off the dish from Richmond. Seton Hall struggled over their next few possessions fouling to give up two free throws, missing two contested shots from the field, going 1/2 from the free throw line and committing a turnover before Trey Alexander hit a jumper to regain Creighton's lead 90-89 with 52 ticks left.

Richmond converted two free throws with 42 seconds left to go back up, 91-90, before Trey Alexander drilled a three off the assist from Ashworth to take a 93-91 lead, which they would not relinquish the rest of the way.

Leading Creighton was Center Ryan Kalkbrenner with 28 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks in 54 minutes, while Alexander scored 23 points to go along with eight rebounds, seven assists three blocks and a steal in 53 minutes.

Pacing Seton Hall was Dre Davis, Dawes, and Richmond, who scored 21 apiece, however on much different efficiency. Davis was 10-12, including 1-2 from long distance, Dawes went 7-20 from the field and 2-5 from three after a scoreless first half, while Richmond was 8-32 from the field and 5/6 from the charity stripe.

Despite the inability for Richmond to covert in or near the lane at will like he has to start conference play, he was still impactful as ever, with 11 rebounds and 11 assists - recording the second ever triple-double in program history after Eddie Griffin’s in 2000.

Graduate center Jaden Bediako put up another strong performance, recording 15 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, with the Pirates outscoring Creighton 50-36 in the paint.

Seton Hall also outrebounded Creighton 56-45 and converted at a better clip from the foul line 17-21 (81%) to 14/19 (73.7%), but just wasn’t able to get over the hump to close out a scrappy Creighton team coming off a 62-48 loss to UConn.

The Pirates will return to action in the final game of their three-game home stand when they square off with Providence Wednesday evening at the Rock.
