LAST GAME

The Seton Hall women’s basketball team scored the first nine points of the game and never looked back, routing the previously undefeated, No. 23 UNLV, 84-54, for its fourth straight victory on Saturday.

The Lady Rebels entered the contest with one of the highest-octane offenses in the country, averaging 84.0 points per game, but struggled mightily with the Pirates’ physicality and were dominated in the paint. The 30-point Seton Hall victory is the highest in program history over a ranked opponent.

The Hall’s defense held No. 23 UNLV to season lows in points (54), field goals made (18), rebounds (25) and shooting percentage (.300).

Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) collected a double-double with game-highs of 23 points, on an efficient 8-for-11 shooting, and 11 rebounds. Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.), Kae Satterfield (New York, N.Y.) and A’Jah Davis (DeKalb, Ill.) also reached double-figures in scoring.

AGAINST GEORGETOWN

Seton Hall and Georgetown will renew their long BIG EAST rivalry when they open conference play on Wednesday. The Hall owns a 44-30 all-time series lead, but had its seven-game winning streak in the series snapped last year in D.C. The teams split the 2022-23 season series with each team winning at home. The Pirates’ last victory at McDonough Arena was a 60-50 win on Feb. 9, 2022.


SCOUTING GEORGETOWN

The Hoyas are coming off a 14-17 record last season, which included a 6-14 mark in BIG EAST play. Georgetown earned the No. 9 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament and defeated No. 8 Butler in the first round before falling to Connecticut in the quarterfinals.

Head Coach Tasha Butts passed away on October 23 following a two-year battle with breast cancer. Darnell Haney was named interim head coach for the season, he was previously the associate head coach. The Hoyas lost just two starters from a season ago and return a talented group battling for minutes including Kelsey Ransom, graduate students Graceann Bennett and Jada Claude as well as junior Brianna Scott. Ransom led the team a season ago, averaging 12.6 ppg and was named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. Among Georgetown’s newcomers is former Pirate Mya Bembry who transferred for her graduate season after three years in South Orange.

Georgetown was picked to finish 10th in the 11-team BIG EAST according to the 2023-24 Coaches Preseason Poll.

Despite all of its preseason adversity, Georgetown has stormed out of the gate this season with a 9-1 record overall. The Hoyas have been winning on defense, which is allowing a BIG EAST low 46.5 points per game, which also ranks second in the nation. Georgetown’s lone loss came at McDonough Arena on Nov. 12, a 45-43 loss to Brown. Since, the Hoyas have won seven in a row and are coming off a 60-44 victory over Wake Forest on Sunday.

UP NEXTSeton Hall will return to action on Saturday, December 30 when it returns to historic Walsh Gymnasium to host BIG EAST rival Providence. Tip time is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. Justin Oosterwyk and Joe Morales will have the call for WSOU FM.
