Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Golden Eagles: Marquette leads, 19-11
2023-24 Meeting:
#23 Marquette 75, Seton Hall 54 (F) – January 9, 2024 (Walsh Gymnasium)

AGAINST MARQUETTE
Seton Hall and Marquette will meet for the 31st time in history on Tuesday with the Golden Eagles owning a 19-11 all-time series lead. Earlier this season, No. 23 Marquette defeated the Pirates, 75-54, on January 9 in Walsh Gym. Seton Hall has never defeated Marquette in Milwaukee in 13 prior road contests. Despite their loss last month, The Hall has won four of the last seven games in the series.

FIRST MEETING THIS YEAR
On a night that a storm brought a state of emergency to New Jersey, the Seton Hall women's basketball team fell to No. 23 Marquette, 75-54, in a mostly-empty Walsh Gymnasium on Jan. 7.

The Hall couldn't rely on one of the best home court advantages in the BIG EAST and was overwhelmed buy Marquette in the second half after trailing by only two at the break. The Pirates shot only 33.3 percent from the field in the second half, compared to 66.7 percent for the Golden Eagles.

Sophomore Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) had a team-high 16 points on 7-for-13 shooting. Graduate student Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) tallied 12 points, six rebounds and three steals.

SCOUTING MARQUETTE
Marquette was picked to finish third in the BIG EAST this season according to the preseason coaches' poll. Jordan King was a Preseason All-BIG EAST Team selection.

The Golden Eagles enter Tuesday's matchup with a 19-6 overall record and an 8-6 mark in BIG EAST Conference play. Marquette was a perfect 11-0 in non-conference play, but has been inconsistent against BIG EAST competition. The Golden Eagles have won three of their last four games, including a 69-58 victory at DePaul on Feb. 13. Liza Karlen, who erupted for 30 points against the Pirates earlier this season, is currently tied for fourth in the conference averaging 18.1 points per game. The Golden Eagles rank second in the BIG EAST in both field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage.

UP NEXT
Seton Hall will return to action on Wednesday, February 28 when it travels for a game at BIG EAST rival Providence. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. Chris Jones and Jackson Shank will have the call for WSOU FM.

Azana Baines led The Hall with 19 points.
MILWAUKEE, WIS. – In a game in which both teams squandered double-digit leads, a late Marquette run in the final minutes of the fourth quarter proved fatal for the Seton Hall women's basketball team in a 68-62 loss to the Golden Eagles on Tuesday.

With the score tied at 59 with only 4:02 remaining, Marquette went on a 7-0 run to pull away. Both teams shot over 40 percent for the contest, but The Hall got beaten on the boards, 40-to-26, and allowed the Golden Eagles to make nine three-pointers.

After a slow-shooting start, Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) led the Pirates with 19 points to go with five rebounds. Sophomore Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) had 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Freshman

Savannah Catalon (Burleson, Texas), the reigning two-time BIG EAST Freshman of the Week, was a third Pirate to score in double-figures, finishing with 10 points to go with seven rebounds, four assists and four steals.

THE STORY:
Seton Hall connected on four of its first five shots and raced out to a 9-2 lead to prompt an early Marquette timeout. The Pirates kept the offensive onslaught going, making their first five three-point attempts, including a pair by both Gray and Hagans. An 8-2 run by The Hall, capped by a jumper from Shailyn Pinkney (East Hartford, Conn.) gave it a 25-11 lead with 2:46 left in the first.

In the second, a made jumper by Gray gave Seton Hall its largest lead of the game, 33-15, but Marquette responded with an 16-1 run to cut its deficit to 34-31 with 2:26 before halftime. The Pirates took a 36-33 lead into the break. The teams essentially switched roles with The Hall dominating the first and Marquette the second. Marquette shot 56 percent from the field in the first half, but the Pirates' defense forced 12 turnovers.

A layup by Baines put The Hall up, 38-33, but Marquette bounced back with nine unanswered points to take their first lead of the game. With the score tied at 42, the Golden Eagles went on a 12-2 run to grab a 54-44 advantage with 1:22 left in the third quarter. The Pirates closed with the final five points to cut their deficit to five entering the fourth.

Trailing 59-49, Baines scored the Pirates' next seven points, and her three-pointer with 5:53 remaining cut their deficit to just three. On the next possession, Kae Sattefield's (New York, N.Y.) three-point play tied the game at 59. Marquette had the final run, however, a 7-0 burst, and a three-pointer by Jordan King with 1:17 to go proved to be the back-breaker.

  • Seton Hall was 23-for-57 (40.4%) from the floor for the game, while Marquette was 26-for-53 (49.1%). The Hall was 6-for-16 (37.5%) from three-point range, while the Golden Eagles were 9-for-20 (45.0%).
