The Pirates, facing a tough road test in their Big East opener in Omaha against No. 10 Creighton, fell 89-75 on Wednesday night.
The Bluejays’ fast-paced offense, led by point guard Maurice Watson Jr., proved to be too much for the Pirates defense to handle. Watson Jr. tallied a double-double with 21 points and 10 assists, while Justin Patton and Khyri Thomas each totaled 17 points.
Khadeen Carrington shined bright on offense for the Pirates yet again, as he finished with 27 points on 8-11 shooting from the field. Additionally, he became the 41st player in Seton Hall history to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
