The Seton Hall men’s basketball team lost their third game of the season to the University of Rhode Island 63-76 on Wednesday night.
It was a very slow start to the game for the Pirates as they missed their first four shots of the game and allowed Rhode Island to go on a 9-0 run. Sandro Mamukelashvili scored two early free throws – a rare occurrence for Seton Hall in this game – but would not score his first shot from the field until 15 minutes into the first half. The Pirates shot 2-6 in the opening five minutes of the half whereas Rhode Island found their rhythm early shooting 5-9 from the field.
