Seton Hall Falls To Iowa At Prudential Center, 83-67​

Newark, N.J. — Early foul trouble plagued the Seton Hall men's basketball team in an 83-67 loss to Iowa in a Gavitt Tipoff Games contest at Prudential Center on Wednesday evening.

Junior Dre Davis (Indianapolis, Ind.) led the Pirates (2-1) in scoring with 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor. Senior Tyrese Samuel (Montreal, Quebec) nearly registered a double-double with nine points and eight rebounds in 13 minutes of action.

Iowa's Kris Murray finished with a game-high 29 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the field and seemed to respond every time the Pirates made a run. Both teams shot 85 percent from the free throw line and Iowa tallied 33 attempts at the charity stripe to Seton Hall's 13.

How It Happened

Seton Hall started the game hot as Samuel started off with four quick points and junior Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) nailed three-point basket that gave the Pirates a 10-2 lead. A layup by Murray with 12:26 to play in the first half tied up the score at 13-13 and, following a defensive stop hit a three-pointer, that gave the Hawkeyes their first lead of the game, 16-13.

Trailing by 12 at halftime, 34-22, the Pirates used a 6-0 run at the start of the second half, capped off by a fast break layup by junior Femi Odukale (Brooklyn, N.Y.), that made it 34-28, forcing Iowa to call a timeout. With The Hall trailing by 11 with 15:22 to go, back-to-back treys by Davis and Harris cut the deficit to five, 46-41, with 13:41 to play before a layup by Murray pushed the Iowa lead back to seven.

The Pirates were down 10 at the 10:35 mark but refused to go away as a three by senior Al-Amir Dawes (Newark, N.J.) and a layup by Davis once against trimmed Iowa's lead to five, 55-50, with 9:36 to play. However, trading baskets with Iowa proved to be dangerous as the Hawkeyes eventually pulled away with the 83-67 victory.

This loss was humbling to say the least. The turnovers proved costly, I think we had 10 in the first half to their 3. You can get away with sloppy play against lesser opponents but when you play a legit team who can seemingly score at will its going to burn you. We also shot 20% in the first half, which is not surprising when everytime we drove to the basket we missed close range chip shots. The discrepancy in foul shot attempts is also concerning, as well as the fact that at this stage we dont have a go to shot maker/scorer on this team. Sure there are benefits at having balanced scoring, but on occasions especially late in close games you need someone to take control. Needless to say there is so much work to be done on both sides of the court.

The disparity of fouls should go the other way for a home game! The refs swallowed their collective whistles when we drove to the basket! That being said Iowa is a better team right now.

I agree, I find it hard to believe that everytime we attacked the rim they were somehow playing such good defense that they didnt hack us. With that being said, if you know you arent getting calls you need to adjust your game plan.

Everytime we’d cut it to 5-6 they’d drive the ball at us or get a foul call. Frustrating.
