Creighton and Seton Hall have yet to face off yet this year, and now they’ll play twice in eight days. It’s a wholesale rebuild job in Newark after losing the star senior class of Khadeen Carrington, Angel Delgado, and Desi Rodriguez — the faces of Seton Hall basketball for seemingly Creighton’s entire tenure in the Big East. They’re in the same boat as Creighton, tasked with replacing stars with a mix of newcomers and players in new roles.
Both teams enter Saturday night’s game with 4-6 records in the Big East and similar overall marks (CU is 13-10, SHU is 13-9) after challenging non-conference slates.
