Defensive dominance propels Seton Hall to signature win over No. 7 Maryland

Remember the lifeless and offensively incompetent Seton Hall team that took the floor against Rutgers last weekend?

That version of the Pirates was nowhere to be found on Thursday night.

Seton Hall locked in defensively for 40 minutes and garnered just enough offense to survive and secure itself a much-needed 52-48 signature win over No. 7 Maryland in its return to the Prudential Center.

After getting shredded by a Rutgers squad known more for its hard-nosed defense than explosive offense, Seton Hall altered its defensive gameplan to slow down a Maryland offense that entered the game averaging 77 points per game.
