Khadeen Carrington scampered down the court with the time ticking down in overtime on Feb. 24 at Madison Square Garden. When the senior guard grabbed hold of the rim and slammed the ball down through the hoop on a fast break, Seton Hall fans throughout the World’s most famous Arena erupted, as the team had won what had been a war of attrition with St. John’s.
Carrington’s dazzling 22-point performance was the follow-up to another heroic effort that took place on the morning of Feb. 22 in small Alumni Hall on the campus of Providence College. It was there that Carrington finished off a 25-point performance and helped a Seton Hall team playing without Desi Rodriguez begin a new winning streak following a stretch of four straight losses.
