If you watched Seton Hall’s stretch run through the end of the regular season and the Big East Tournament, two players receiving major minutes may have come across as new faces. At VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. on Thursday, the situation will be no different for Anthony Nelson and Jared Rhoden.
The two freshmen, who played together on the New York Lightning prior to Seton Hall and now room together at school, began to receive major minutes as the season progressed. Nelson’s major breakout came in the Big East Championship against Villanova, where he had 12 points and two assists in 17 minutes.
