NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Seton Hall will look to bounce back following a Gavitt Games loss to Iowa on Wednesday as the Pirates host Wagner on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Prudential Center.
- The Pirates are 82-12 (.872) all-time at Prudential Center against non-conference opponents and have won 12 of their last 13 games against non-league foes at The Rock.
- Iowa's 83 points scored on Wednesday night was the most against a Shaheen Holloway-coached team since Feb. 20 when Saint Peter's allowed 83 points at Siena.
- This matchup on Sunday pits two former Seton Hall point guards against one another in Shaheen Holloway and Donald Copeland.
- Holloway and Copeland both led the Pirates to the NCAA Tournament as seniors; Holloway in 2000 when The Hall went to the Sweet 16 and Copeland in 2006 when he led that team with 16.1 ppg.
- Copeland spent last season as an assistant coach at his alma mater, helping guide the Pirates back to the NCAA Tournament.
- Seton Hall is one of only eight Division I programs and the only BIG EAST school with at least four alumni serving as active head coaches (Holloway; Copeland; Dan Hurley, UConn; Levell Sanders, Binghamton).
- Holloway is the first Seton Hall graduate to lead the men's basketball program since all-time great Richie Regan '53 led the Pirates from 1960-70.
- Holloway was previously on the Seton Hall bench as associate head coach from 2010-18.
- In that time span, the Pirates registered four 20-win seasons, three NCAA Tournament appearances and won the 2016 BIG EAST Tournament title.
- Through three games, seven Pirates are averaging at least seven points per game and 10 Pirates are averaging at least 12 minutes per contest.
- In Holloway's last 13 games as a head coach, his teams have allowed just 57.5 points per game.
- KC Ndefo (Elmont, N.Y.) is the NCAA's active career leader in blocks with 313.
- Coming off of the bench the first three games, junior Dre Davis (Indianapolis, Ind.) is leading the team in scoring with 11.3 points per game on 50 percent shooting from three (3-of-6) and 45 percent shooting from the floor.
- Senior Al-Amir Dawes (Newark, N.J.) posted his first career double-double with a 13-point, 10-rebound performance against Saint Peter's.
- Dawes is the first Pirates newcomer to score in double figures in his first two games in the Blue & White since Derrick Gordon in 2015-16.
- Reunited are juniors Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Femi Odukale (Brooklyn, N.Y.), who were high school teammates at South Shore High School in Brooklyn.
- With the Davis' (Dre and Tae) and the Harris' (Jamir and JaQuan), Seton Hall is one of three schools in DI (Clemson and Kansas City) that has two sets of brothers on the same team.
