In a crucial clash, Seton Hall basketball emerged victorious against Georgetown, scoring 76-70 and bolstering their NCAA Tournament hopes. The Pirates were spearheaded by senior wing Dre Davis, who demonstrated a stellar performance of 25 points and 10 rebounds, fortifying his bid for All-Big East honors.
Key Contributions to Victory
The win elevated Seton Hall to a 15-8 overall and an 8-4 tally in the Big East, while Georgetown fell to an 8-14 overall and a mere 1-10 in conference play. The victory also served as Seton Hall’s seventh consecutive win over the Hoyas, leveling the all-time series at an intriguing 60-60. Seton Hall coach, Shaheen Holloway, commended Davis for his persistent efforts, which have been instrumental to the team’s success. Holloway has now surpassed his former coach, Tommy Amaker, with 18 victories, claiming the record for most Big East wins by a Pirate skipper in his first two years.
Overcoming Challenges
Despite facing obstacles such as foul trouble and a jersey change, the ace playmaker of the Hall still managed to close the game with 20 points. The team’s seven-man rotation was notably effective, especially the contributions from their backup center who stepped up amidst a teammate’s foul trouble. Al-Amir Dawes was tasked to contain Georgetown’s Jayden Epps, who had previously scored 30 points against the Pirates, but was restricted to just 15 this time.
Looking Ahead
Seton Hall now looks forward to a potential Quad 1 victory against Villanova on Super Bowl Sunday. Such a win would significantly augment their chances for a Big Dance berth, as their current standing against Quad 1 opponents is balanced at 4-4.
