Another Seton Hall game was defined in the final minute Friday, but this one was the Pirates’ last game of the season.
The game result was a 77-71 Seton Hall loss to Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C.
Building as large as an eight-point lead with 9:29 left in the game, Seton Hall was the victim of turnovers and foul calls down the stretch. A flagrant foul on Desi Rodriguez with 18 seconds left ultimately put the win out of reach for Seton Hall.
“I’m just heartbroken, loss of words right now,” Rodriguez said.
