“19, 20, 21”: those are the magical numbers that Seton Hall junior Chris Beasley – better known to some as flag man – hopes to hear from public address announcer Tim McLoone before Beasley’s time on the Prudential Center court is up. He has had the honor of racing the 20-foot Seton Hall flag during a second-half timeout of men’s basketball games for a year-and-a-half, and has that same amount of time remaining to write his name into the history books.
Beasley is chasing the previous two flag men, Anthony Moratta and Mike Mosca, for the record number of laps around the circle of cheerleaders during intermission of Seton Hall men’s basketball games.
