With the senior star Jared Rhoden leading the way, and Seton Hall owning the glass, the Pirates won for the third straight time, holding off No. 25 Xavier, 73-71, at Prudential Center Wednesday nig…
Seton Hall’s annual midseason swoon is over. Just as important, it appears Jared Rhoden could be past his struggles as well.
Rhoden scored eight of his game-high 25 points in the final 3:58 as Seton Hall withstood multiple Xavier runs after building a 14-point, first-half lead. Rhoden, who had struggled mightily during the Pirates’ four losses in five games in late January, also had eight rebounds and reached the 20-point plateau for the first time in seven games. Rhoden’s 3-pointer with 3:15 left pushed the lead to six, and though Xavier got close, it never was able to get even.
Seton Hall picked up where it left off in Friday’s 19-point win over Creighton by owning the first 20 minutes. It was the more physical, desperate and disciplined team. It owned the paint, forced 10 turnovers and controlled the glass to the tune of 23-15.
