Despite a sluggish start and a second-half surge by Quinnipiac (0-4), Seton Hall (4-1) was able to come out with a 90-79 win behind double-doubles from forwards Desi Rodriguez and Michael Nzei.
Rodriguez led all scorers with 23 points and hauled in 11 rebounds, while Nzei scored a career-high 19 points and came down with 12 rebounds in his first start of the season. Nzei got the start in place of Ismael Sanogo, who did not play due to a shoulder injury that he aggravated in Thursday night’s loss to Florida.
