It had been a while since Seton Hall put together a dominant first 20 minutes of basketball.
Sluggish starts have plagued the Pirates the last two weeks. It cost them games against Creighton and Providence last week and nearly cost them another one against No. 21 Butler earlier this week. On Sunday afternoon against St. John’s, though, Seton Hall turned in the first half performance that everyone has been waiting for.
Thank to efficient play on offense and a lockdown effort defensively, the Pirates jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, defeating St. John’s by a final score of 81-65.
