Seton Hall defeats Butler as the Pirates eye first-round bye in Big East Tournament

The Seton Hall Pirates picked up a much-needed win at the Prudential Center in Newark late Wednesday night. With their 66-60 victory over the Butler Bulldogs, the Pirates improved to 8-8 in Big East play.

The Pirates and Bulldogs went into the half tied up at 34 points when senior Jared Rhoden hit a jumper as the buzzer sounded. Coming out of the half the Pirates came out firing and never looked back. The Pirates went up by as much as 16 before Butler went on a run and would cut it to within two. That’s the closest the Bulldogs would get, though, as the Pirates would pull off the 66-60 win.
