Fresh off two big wins and with Big 10 opponent Maryland looming on the schedule, it would’ve been easy for Seton Hall to overlook a Sacred Heart team that entered Wednesdaynight’s game without a KenPom Top 200 win to its name.
Instead, the Pirates locked in on both ends of the floor and rode the momentum of a hot-shooting first half and arguably the best performance of Sandro Mamukelashvili’s Seton Hall career to a 90-76 victory to improve to 8-3 on the season.
Mamukelashvili led all scorers with 23 points on 8-11 shooting from the field and 4-5 shooting from three, while Myles Powell added 15 points and Michael Nzei chipped in 10.
