The Pirates improve to a perfect 4-0 with a comeback for the ages in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI – Trailing by 10 points with 4:02 remaining, the Seton Hall women's basketball team closed the game with a 14-3 run, and a pair of free-throws by Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) with 19 seconds left gave the Pirates an improbable 69-68 victory at Cincinnati on Monday.

The swarming Pirates defense forced eight Cincinnati turnovers in the final four minutes and Catalon scored seven of her season-high 20 points in the final run.

Catalon had 20 points, including a pair of three-pointers, her second of which cut The Hall's deficit to one possession with 1:41 left to play. She was also 10-for-10 from the free-throw line.

Graduate student Faith Masonius (Spring Lake, N.J.) had a game-high 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting and also had team-highs of five rebounds and four steals.

THE STORY:
With the score tied at 23, The Hall went on another 8-0 run, fueled by a pair of made three-pointers by Amari Wright (Jacksonville, Fla.), the second of which off an acrobatic cross-court pass from Eads. A pair of made free-throws by Masonius put Seton Hall on top 31-23 with 6:03 left before halftime. Cincinnati bounced back, however, and a 10-1 run gave it their first lead of the game, 33-32, with 1:16 left before the break.

The Pirates committed 12 first-half turnovers, compared to six for Cincinnati, but The Hall shot well from three-point range, 5-for-9. The result was a 35-35 tie at the break.

A turnaround jumper by Masonius gave The Hall a 42-40 lead, but the Bearcats responded with a 11-0 run to take a 51-42 lead with 58 seconds left in the third quarter. The Hall was held without a made field goal for the final 5:59 of the third quarter. Cincinnati out-scored the Pirates, 18-to-9 in the third to take a 53-44 lead into the fourth quarter.

Seton Hall scored the first six points of the fourth quarter to make it a one-possession game, 53-50. The Bearcats, however, answered with a 9-3 spurt to boost its lead back up to 62-53 with 5:19 left in the contest. Down 65-55, The Hall went on a furious run 12-0 run and the suffocating Pirates press forced eight Cincinnati turnovers in the final four minutes of the game. Trailing 68-67 with 19 seconds left, Catalon was fouled, and calmly connected on both free-throws to give The Hall the win.

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.

Trump Ethics

so word on the street is trump is holding up the transition because he won't follow through with the ethics agreement.

how much of this is MSM backlash? not seeing a ton on more neutral platforms, but at the same time hes giving positions to his friends and has elon seemingly running things from behind the scenes whose company can be invested in by anyone in the world.

Are multi team tournaments coming to an end?

The Connecticut athletic Director thinks so.


Not sure if you guys are going to get paywalled on that site. if you do and are curious about the article, let me know and I'll see if I can find a workaround.

In essence, A.D. Benedict says that financial pressures on teams make flying across the country to a tournament in which you don't have any participating profit rights far or less attractive. Benedict and Hurley would rather do things like the coaches classic at MSG where travel costs are more manageable, the games are more accessible to fans, and there are opportunities for the teams to profit as well.

Thinking about that, that may be a step back towards regional basketball, which would be a good thing, in my opinion.

Time to cut Dylan Addae-Wusu some slack.

I posted my usual top 20 points on the Trove after the game. But there is one point I want to post on the free board.


1. The Carrington Experiment

We are all guilty and that includes me. I stated in the preseason after watching a practice and a second partial workout that Dylan Addae-Wusu had to start. He was playing that well. But as we have seen in the 4 games to date DAW is not a PG. Sha knows that. The fans know that and so does the media. But knowing that DAW should be starting, where do you play him?

Dylan is a swing but Jenkins and Coleman man those positions. And with Harmon and Dual adding little that leaves DAW at the point. An issue former SHU coach Kevin Willard faced (unsuccessfully) with Khadeen Carrington years ago. Playing the point, running the team, controlling tempo is something that takes years of experience. It does not happen overnight. We have not been fair to Dylan, and with that said he's under a ton of pressure. Most not of his doing.

Time to ease up.
