Seton Hall stunned by Rhode Island in NIT Tip-Off thriller
A chaotic final minute was what it came down to in Seton Hall’s 75-74 loss to Rhode Island in the NIT Season Tip-Off on Thanksgiving night. A Jared Terrell contested layup with five seconds to go was the cap to a 32-point night for the guard, and what ended up handing the Pirates their first loss of the season.
Seton Hall held a one-point lead through the final minute after Rhode Island led for 32 minutes of the game. With eight lead changes, many occurring in the final minutes, the Pirates could not steal the win.
