Khadeen Carrington scored 26 points, Desi Rodriguez added 20 and eighth-seeded Seton Hall beat North Carolina State 94-83 in a foul-filled first-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
FINAL: Seton Hall 94, NC State 83. Al Freeman was tremendous for NC State with 36 points, but Seton Hall's senior class + Myles Powell won the day again. Think the Pirates were the best 8-seed in the tournament — they'll really test Kansas, especially if Udoka is limited again.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
Strong effort from Ish Sanogo today for Seton Hall. Had nine first-half points and six second-half rebounds — making some big plays late on the glass.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
The Omer Yurtseven vs. Angel Delgado battle wasn't much of one. Delgado has 13 points, nine boards and four assists — while Yurtseven played just 14 minutes before fouling out with two points and two rebounds.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
Better defensive effort in the second half from NC State — and Seton Hall's outside shots not falling. Al Freeman has been a nightmare for Seton Hall's defense, up to 23 points and six 3-pointers. Khadeen Carrington and Desi Rodriguez quiet for Seton Hall since halftime.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
Seton Hall up 10 on NC State at halftime. NC State had some early success when Ish Sanogo had to come out and guard either Torin Dorn or Al Freeman, but that's about it. Seton Hall doing whatever it wants offensively — and making 3s today.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
Seton Hall ranks No. 212 nationally in 3-pointers per game, makes a little more than seven per game. Pirates are 5-for-6 from behind the arc in the first 12 minutes today. Khadeen Carrington has 13 points already.
Jeff Borzello ESPN Staff Writer
Three straight 3-pointers from NC State — mixing in a bad shot and a turnover from Myles Powell — and Seton Hall's 11-point lead is cut to two in less than a minute.
