NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW
- The Seton Hall men's basketball team returns to the road this weekend as the Pirates head to Omaha to take on Creighton on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.
- Seton Hall's recent struggles have not been helped by a rash of injuries to its backcourt as the Pirates have been without starting guards Dylan Addae-Wusu and Chaunce Jenkins.
- Addae-Wusu, who has missed the last three games with a foot injury, is the Pirates' second-leading scorer in BIG EAST play (13.6 ppg).
- Addae-Wusu is two assists away from 400 career assists and went over 200 career steals at Providence.
- Addae-Wusu trails only Creighton's Ryan Kalkbrenner for the most career BIG EAST games played among active players with 83.
- Prior to missing the last three games, Addae-Wusu scored 24 points and dished out seven assists, both personal bests in his Seton Hall career, against DePaul.
- The Pirates are 4-2 on the season when Chaunce Jenkins is their leading scorer.
- Jenkins, who left with a hamstring injury in the second half against St. John's, scored 21 points and dished out four assists in the Pirates's loss at Butler.
- The Pirates are 16-14 all-time against Creighton but they've lost the last four meetings.
- Seton Hall's last win over Creighton was a 65-60 win at CHI Health Center Omaha on 3/5/22
- Seton Hall is 2-0 in overtime games this season and Holloway's career record in overtime games is 9-3, including a 3-1 mark as head coach of the Pirates.
- Holloway's one overtime loss at The Hall came last season against the Bluejays as the Pirates dropped a 97-94 triple overtime contest at Prudential Center on 1/20/24.
- Isaiah Coleman has come into his own in conference play where he trails only Villanova's Eric Dixon in scoring averaging 20.6 points per game against BIG EAST foes.
- Coleman is coming off of another career-best performance as he scored a personal-high 27 points and finished one rebound shy of his second career double-double
- Coleman also ranks 10th in the conference averaging 6.3 rebounds per game and ninth shooting 84 percent from the line against BIG EAST foes.
- Coleman is one of only four Pirates since 1988 to score at least 15 points in the first five BIG EAST games of the season joining Mark Bryant (1987-88), Terry Dehere (1992-93) and Myles Powell (2019-20).
- Coleman has scored in double-figures in 11 of his last 12 games and five of those outputs were 20-point performances against BIG EAST teams.
- After struggling from the free throw line through the first month of the season, Seton Hall has bounced back since the start of conference play shooting 74 percent (133-of-181) from the stripe, good enough for fifth in the BIG EAST.
- Seton Hall ranks third in the BIG EAST in bench scoring averaging 22.5 points per game.
- According to KenPom, the Pirates rank 25th in Div. I in bench minutes (40.1 pct.)
- The Pirates rank second in the BIG EAST in league play averaging 13.3 offensive rebounds per game.
