The stage was set for a fairy-tale ending to the quartet of the Seton Hall seniors’ final home game of the season. Fans were back in attendance, their NCAA Tournament hopes were on the line, they were up against a historic Big East rival in the University of Connecticut and it was Senior Night.
Unfortunately, it was a second consecutive Senior Night in which the Pirates were unable to send their senior players off with a final home win.
Their strong start to the first half was met by a defensive collapse in its final four minutes, and Seton Hall never seemed to figure out how to shut down the Huskies’ efficiency in the paint.
