Whether it was physically or mentally, Seton Hall seemed like they had not recovered from their Big East Tournament championship during Thursday's first round 68-52 loss to Gonzaga. The West Coast Conference Champions came out of the gate with energy, taking an early lead they would not relinquish. Seton Hall, on the other hand, looked exhausted, and it showed in their sloppy play.
Gonzaga showed off their talented big men as they attacked the Pirates inside early and often. The Bulldogs made a point to feed Domantas Sabonis and Kyle Wiltjer, as the pair finished with 21 and 13 points, respectively.
