Hi Dan,

I wanted to thank you again for all your help promoting the game this past weekend. It was great seeing you!

It was great as well to have so many SHU fans at the game!

Give Roxanne my best!

Go Hall.

The actions sure sound a lot like January 6th.

New York, N.Y. -- Freshman Isaiah Coleman (Fredericksburg, Va.) has been named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week after averaging 10.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in a 2-0 week for the Seton Hall men's basketball team.

Coleman is the first Pirate to be named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honor since Myles Powell on Nov. 21, 2016.

Coleman provided a spark off the bench for The Hall this past week where he shot 8-of-14 from the floor. He notched his first double-digit scoring night on Wednesday against UAlbany, dropping 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the field and grabbing eight boards. He also dished out two assists, had two steals and tallied a block in his stat stuffind evening against the Great Danes. Coleman pitched in seven points of 3-of-5 shooting on Saturday in the win over Wagner.

The Pirates will hit the road for the first time this season next week when they head to the Rady Children's Invitational in San Diego from Nov. 23-24. Seton Hall will open with No. 16 USC on Thanksgiving Day at 5:30 p.m. EST on FS1. On Friday, The Hall will face either Iowa or Oklahoma on FOX or FS1.

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Trojans: USC leads, 3-0
All Meetings:
USC 79, Seton Hall 65 (F) – November 25, 2021 (Cancun, Mexico)
USC 70, Seton Hall 59 (F) – November 28, 2003
USC 78, Seton Hall 66 (F) – December 27, 1997

AGAINST USC
This will be only the fourth time Seton Hall and USC have met with the Women of Troy winning the prior three meetings. Most recently, the teams faced off at the Cancun Challenge in Mexico in 2021 with USC winning, 78-66.

SCOUTING USC
USC is coming off a strong 2022-23 season that featured a 21-10 final overall record and an 11-7 mark in Pac 12 play. The Women of Troy fell in the opening round of the Pac 12 Tournament, but still managed to earn an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They fell in the opening round to South Dakota State, 62-57, in overtime.

USC women's basketball welcomed the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year to Troy, with the addition of heralded incoming freshman JuJu Watkins. In addition to All-Pac 12 Teamer Rayah Marshall, USC welcomes back guard Kayla Williams, who picked up 2023 Pac-12 All-Defensive Honorable Mention. USC also added four graduate transfers to the 2023-24 Trojan roster. Three — Kaitlyn Davis, McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla — were standouts in the Ivy League, and one — Roxane Makolo — boasts international experience with Team Canada.

The Trojans were picked to finish sixth in the 12-team Pac 12 Conference this season, according to the Preseason Coaches Poll.

So far this season, the Women of Troy have been better than advertised. They enter play at Baha Mar with a perfect 3-0 record and ranked 10th in the nation. USC opened the season by stunning No. 7 Ohio State in Las Vegas, 83-74. Since, they've recorded easy victories at home against Florida Gulf Coast and Le Moyne. Watkins currently leads the team with 28.3 points per game.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will continue play at the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Wednesday, Nov. 22 against East Carolina. Tip time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. That contest will also be available for FloHoops subscribers. Joe Matthews and Jon Heite will describe the action for WSOU FM.

Anyone watching this disaster? Yikes! It’s like a bad accident, you want to look away but you just can’t. Hoyas down 10 with about 8 to go.

Impressive, a loser on Monday means best one of them could finish is 5th.

SHU was in this field many many years back. Opened the season at USF in Cali then went to Maui. Lost to Duke in quite a tough game. Beat Chaminade then had Kansas on Thanksgiving eve. I think that was the year Ball State made the final and beat UCLA and Kansas to get there.
