March is a do or die time for college basketball teams, a time to leave everything on the court because each game could be your last. The Seton Hall women’s basketball team did just that on Sunday evening against DePaul in the Big East tournament semifinals, ultimately falling to the Blue Demons 83-80.
The Pirates hovered within striking distance throughout and had multiple looks from three from Alexis Lewis to tie the game in the closing seconds, but none would fall. Desiree Elmore finished with 26 points, Shadeen Samuels had 13 points, and Mya Jackson and Lauren Park-Lane each had 10 points to lead a Pirate charge that saw them match DePaul, the conference’s top team, literally shot-for-shot.
