Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Tigers: Seton Hall leads, 13-8
2022-23 Meeting:
Princeton 62, Seton Hall 58 (F) – November 14, 2022 (Walsh Gym)

AGAINST PRINCETON
Seton Hall and Princeton will lock up for the 22nd time in history on Wednesday. The Pirates own a 13-8 all-time series lead, but the Tigers have won four of the last six contests. The Hall has seen success in recent years in Jadwin Gym having won the last two road games in the series.

SCOUTING PRINCETON
Princeton is coming off another strong season, which featured a 24-6 final record and a 12-2 mark in Ivy League play. The Tigers won the conference tournament, earning an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Riding a 15-game win streak into the NCAAs, Princeton upset seventh-seeded NC State in the opening round before ending their season with a seven-point loss to second-seeded Utah.

Princeton was picked to finish first among the eight teams of the Ivy League according to the 2023-24 Coaches Preseason Poll. The Tigers return Kaitlyn Chen, Ivy Player of the Year, and Ellie Mitchell, Ivy Defensive Player of the Year, along with Madison St. Rose, Ivy Rookie of the Year for the 2023-24 campaign. Chen was named to the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Preseason Watch List.

Princeton has been highly impressive so far this season and enters Wednesday's contest with a 4-2 record. Half of its opponents have been nationally ranked this season. The Tigers fell by only three points at No. 3 UCLA on Nov. 17 and lost by only nine points against No. 19 Indiana on Saturday. Among its impressive victories is a 77-63 win over No. 20 Oklahoma on Thanksgiving.

St. Rose and Chen are both currently averaging 17 points per game. Mitchell is pulling down a team-best 12.7 rebounds per contest.

UP NEXT

Knotted up at 69 in Double OT. Quite the game.

Heartbreaking loss for the ladies. Seems their foul shots weren’t falling tonight. Unlike the guys, the ladies usually hit their free throws at a pretty good clip.

Micah Gray had a game-high 24 points, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to force overtime.

PRINCETON, N.J. – Sophomore Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) banked in a three-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime, but the Seton Hall women's basketball team was outlasted by No. 25 Princeton, 75-71, in double-overtime.

Trailing 59-56 with one second left, Gray banked in a shot in front of her bench to force extra basketball. With under a minute remaining in the second overtime, Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) hit a pair of free-throws to give The Hall a 71-70 lead. The Tigers' Skye Belker hit a jumper with only 37 seconds left to put Princeton back ahead, and then Princeton iced the game on the free-throw line.

The Hall bested the strong-rebounding Tigers, 43-to-36, but it committed a season-high 28 turnovers and was just 10-for-20 from the free-throw line.

Gray was brilliant tonight, going for a game-high 24 points on the strength of 7-for-13 shooting from three-point range. She also had a season-high six rebounds. Baines had a tough night shooting the ball, but still collected her first double-double of the season with 12 points and a season-high 11 rebounds.

THE STORY:
A'Jah Davis (DeKalb, Ill.) hit a tough turnaround with 5:57 left in the first quarter to give The Hall an 8-2 lead, but Princeton responded with a 15-2 run to grab a 17-10 advantage. Baines hit a jumper at the first quarter buzzer to cut The Hall's deficit to five points after the first 10 minutes.

The Hall started off the second quarter on fire from the field, and a three-pointer by Sha'Lynn Hagans (Manassas, Va.) capped a 10-2 Pirates run which gave them the lead back, 20-19, with 6:53 left before halftime. A free-throw by Kae Satterfield (New York, N.Y.) sent the teams into the locker room tied at 29. Hagans had eight points on 3-for-3 shooting from the field in the second quarter alone. Both teams shot better than 50 percent from the floor.

Trailing 40-32, The Hall went on a 10-2 run, and a pair of free-throws by Baines tied the score at 42 with 2:38 left in the third quarter.

The fourth quarter was defense-dominated as both teams scored only four points over the first 8:00. The Hall trailed 59-54 with only 17 seconds remaining, but a layup by Baines with 13 seconds to go, and a Princeton turnover with 11 seconds left, set up Gray's heroics at the buzzer.

After a dead-locked first overtime, The Hall took a one-point lead with 53 seconds left on a pair of Baines free-throws, but Princeton scored the last five points of the game to edge the Pirates, 75-71.
