Seton Hall Basketball Falls at Georgetown for 9. Just loss

On February 9, 2025By Littum

Seton Hall -Basketball team didn’t have to beat Georgetown on Saturday. For a long lost season there is no must win.

But one thing that Pirates had to do was compete – to show some pride and some life after being embarrassed by Depaul and Butler in successive games.

Despite being short-hidt again due to injuries, they did so in the country’s capital and fell 60-46 after drawing within three points with 5:22 back.

Startguar Dylan Addae-Wusu (Ankle) and Chaunce Jenkins (Foot) each missed their sixth match due to injury, and Wing Scotty Middleton (Ankle) and Center Manny Okorafor (ankle) also sat out leaving the pirates with only eight scholarship players.

Still, they held Georgetown (15-9, 6-7) to 39 percent shooting, but betrayed this effort with 20 revenue as they fell to 6-18 overall and 1-12 in Big East. It is their ninth straight loss that matches the program’s longest losing series since 2013.

1. Coleman jumps back

After falling for the better part of three weeks, with a back injury mixed in, Isaiah Coleman resumed his go-to role. Despite barely having room to operate-shaded Hoyas their defense on each turn-the other wing grinded 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds in 40 minutes.

This effort was a clear indication that Coleman has not checked out despite everything that has gone south.

Imagine how effective Coleman would be with a functional Point Guard? Pirates’ ball handling was again a tender place.

2. Good signs from estatewill

Not much was expected of the Freshman Center Godswill Erheriene when the season began. The 6-foot-9 Nigerian missed most of his senior season on Long Island Lutheran High School with a foot injury. But considering how ineffective Pirates’ other great ones turned out to be, Erheriers have been thrown into a prominent role – and the growing pain that comes with it.

In this game you started to see some payout.

Erheriene celebrated her birthday with her best performance so far and scored eight points on 4-of-5 shooting and grabbed seven boards in 28 minutes. He pulled a tough matchup against Georgetown’s 6-10 beginner star, Trenton Native Thomas Sorber, and kept more or less his own.

When the Erheriers sat, Pirates’ drop-off inside was the precipitated; Their other big ones were handled by Hoyas.

Nobody says that Holloway should build next year’s team around the guy, but talented big ones do not grow on trees, and there is sign – athletics, length, an ability to get a shot out at this level – that he could become one. If there is a silver for this convicted season, it is that he gets a long audition/apprenticeship.

3. Uconn is coming

The hall will have a desperate need for Bye Week, and there is a chance that some of their wounded players will be back to Uconn’s visit to Newark Saturday (14:30, Fox).

About 12,000 tickets are out so far, with the top tire open, and although Uconn fans will certainly participate in numbers, you can expect Seton Hall’s believers to prove well as they did for St. John’s.

The pirates have beaten Huskies three times at home, and although this seems to be the longest of long shots, the efforts in Georgetown will at least be something for Holloway to point to during his preparations.

3 quotes

From Shaheen Holloway’s radio interview after game:

General thoughts: “We played hard – we just ran out of gas. I’m super proud of these guys. I thought we did some really good things. It was good to see guys fighting. I hate the scoring as it looks because it wasn’t … The difference in this game has 20 revenue and that they have 16 points from our revenue. Except it was a good game, a close game. “

On estatewill: “Godswill did an incredible job of fighting for him and not letting (Sorber) get a low post. The case with him – he was very athletic, he was very bouncing, I am still waiting to see what I know he had some damage to his ankle that limited him from doing so, but today it was good step for him. “

At Jesaja Coleman: “I thought he was playing well. He went back to doing some things he had done for us – rebound basketball and letting the game come to him. A few dubious shots down the stretch, but that’s part of it. He does what he can to help us. “

Whether the wounded guys will be back in action for Uconn: “I hope. They have not practiced or done anything. The bye week came at a good time for us. I just have to continue to fight. This is part of the journey. It does not suck to win, but when you come here and fight and give yourself a chance, that’s all I can pray for and I thought we were doing it today. “
