LAST GAME

Graduate student Kaydan Lawson (Cleveland, Ohio) scored a season-high 11 points, but the Seton Hall women’s basketball team fell at Creighton, 72-56, snapping its three-game win streak on Wednesday.

Seton Hall didn’t have an answer for Creighton’s long-distance shooting. The Bluejays entered the game averaging 9.4 made three-pointers per game, and finished tonight’s contest 16-for-40. Their 40 attempted three-pointers are the most by any BIG EAST team this season… by six. Creighton made only eight trifectas in the teams’ first meeting in Walsh Gym on Jan. 11.

The loss snaps a three-game winning streak for The Hall and drops it to 16-6 overall and 8-3 in BIG EAST play.

Lawson had 11 points, the most she’s had in a Seton Hall uniform, to go with five rebounds and two assists. Sophomore Savannah Catalon (Mansfield, Texas) had 11 points, three rebounds and a team-best three steals. Freshman Jada Eads (Orlando, Fla.) saw her double-digit scoring streak snapped at 15 games. She finished with eight points, five rebounds and three assists.

AGAINST XAVIER


Seton Hall and Xavier will meet for the first time this season and the 25th time in history on Saturday. The Pirates have dominated the all-time series, winning 21 of the first 24 games, including the last 11 meetings. Last season, The Hall swept the home-and-home series, winning 86-62 in Walsh Gym and 61-47 in Cincinnati. The Pirates are 11-2 at home this season, while Xavier is 0-9 on the road.

SCOUTING XAVIER

Billi Chambers is in her second year at Xavier after a 1-27 overall record and an 0-18 mark in BIG EAST play in 2023-24. The Musketeers return Aizhanique Mayo, Daniela Lopez, and Tae’lor Purvis, and welcome Loren Christie and four others.

This season, Xavier was again picked to finish last in the 11-team BIG EAST Conference.

The Musketeers are off to a significantly better start this season, but are still at the bottom of the BIG EAST Conference standings. Xavier enters Saturday’s contest with a 6-17 record overall and a 1-11 mark in conference play. Its victory over Butler on Jan. 18 snapped a BIG EAST regular-season 47-game losing streak. The Musketeers have lost five in a row since. Most recently, Xavier fell to Providence at the Cintas Center, 63-36, on Wednesday. Meri Kanerva currently leads the team with 10.1 points per game. Xavier currently ranks last in the BIG EAST in points scored per game, scoring margin and rebounding margin. It also commits the most turnovers in the league.

UP NEXT

The contest will be streamed by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available to FloCollege subscribers. 89.5 FM WSOU or wsou.net will also carry the game.

Have to win every game the rest of the way excluding UConn at home which looks to be unrealistic. Maybe one more chance at Creighton at The BigEast Tourn. Doing all that probably leaves them last 4 or 5 out.
 
We dropped below the next four out line in ESPN's Friday bracket update. Villanova is now the seventh team out.

NET is 68 which is fifth among BE teams (Marquette is 62 and Villanova 65). The road win against Cincinnati is pulling a lot of weight because the next best OOC win is San Francisco (149).

The road wins over Marquette and Villanova are the only other things that help the cause.

BET Champions or bust.
 
Yep.. They are a respectable program for sure. From what I have seen this year I think they are narrowly better than Villanova and neck & neck with Marquette. Tuesday will be good measuring stick for that. Unfortunately, they can't get up to Creighton's level. Hopefully, some of these Creighton gals will graduate. Basing that on results and eye test.
