College basketball is a 40-minute game.
From the initial tip to the final buzzer, every play matters when deciding the outcome. Lately, it seems as if the Seton Hall men’s basketball team hasn’t gotten the memo.
It all began during the matchup with Rutgers on Dec. 23. The Hall’s lackluster shooting in the first half resulted in a nine-point deficit at halftime to a defensive-minded but inferior Scarlet Knights team. It took a valiant effort by the Pirates in the second half, raising their shooting percentage by nearly 30 percent from the first half, to mount the comeback and defeat Rutgers by 11 points.
