Off the back of a two-game away stint last week, Seton Hall men’s basketball returned to the Prudential Center for their second game of the season against Marquette. With just about month left for teams to make their cases for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, the Pirates came into this one knowing they had to grab the win.
I wasn’t the prettiest performance of the season from either team – combining for 29 fouls and 29 turnovers – but a strong start from Sandro Mamukelashvili in the first half and solid second half displays from Jared Rhoden and Shavar Reynolds helped the Pirates stave off the Golden Eagles for a 57-51 win.
