NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW
- The Seton Hall men's basketball team returns to the friendly confines of the Prudential Center on Wednesday as they host Northeastern at 6:30 p.m. on FS2.
- The Pirates are back from the West Coast where they went 0-2 at the Rady Children's Invitational against two teams ranked in the top 40 in KenPom (No. 33 USC, 71-63; No. 40 Iowa, 85-72).
- Seton Hall nearly erased two significant double-digit deficits before ultimately falling both games.
- Dre Davis was named to the Rady Children's Invitational All-Tournament Team after averaging 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in the Pirates' two games.
- After being named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week last Monday, Isaiah Coleman continued to be a key contributor off the bench for the Pirates in San Diego where he averaged 21 minutes, 5.0 points, 3.0 boards, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists per contest.
- Jaden Bediako proved to be a force against the strong competition last week as he posted 11.5 points on 58 percent shooting with 9.0 rebounds per game and registered a double-double performance (11 pts, 11 reb) against Iowa, his second of the season and sixth of his career.
- Bediako leads the BIG EAST and ranks eighth in the country with 4.3 offensive rebounds per game and he ranks fourth nationally in offensive rebounding percentage (21 percent).
- The Pirates lead the BIG EAST in steals per game (9.5 spg) and they're paced by Kadary Richmond and Dylan Addae-Wusu who both own 14 steals.
- Seton Hall has been highly efficient from the free throw line through six games where they've shot 78 percent (87-of-111), a clip that ranks third in the BIG EAST and 22nd nationally.
- Dre Davis' 91 percent clip (19-of-21) paces the Pirates from the charity stripe
- This will only be the third all-time meeting between Seton Hall and Northeastern.
- The last meeting between the two schools was on Dec. 17, 1982 when the Pirates fell to the Huskies, 74-61, in the Atlantic City Classic held at Atlantic City Convention Hall.
- Two BIG EAST coaching legends coached in that game as Jim Calhoun led Northeastern and P.J. Carlesimo was in his first season as head coach at Seton Hall.
