In an intense college basketball matchup, Seton Hall and Creighton battled through three overtimes in New Jersey. The game escalated to a second overtime, described as a 'heck of a battle' and further intensified into a third overtime, making it the 'best college basketball game of the year so far,' according to fans and commentators. The game saw a series of dramatic events including Creighton fouling a three-point shooter while up by four points, a turnover on an inbounds play, and Kadary Richmond making one of two free throws for Seton Hall to push the game into triple overtime. A controversial call negated a potential game-winner for Seton Hall, and Al-Amir Dawes made all three free throws for the Pirates, leaving Creighton with a narrow one-point lead with only 13.4 seconds remaining in the game.
Seton Hall vs. Creighton 😳 Best college basketball game of the year so far…3OT now…
Holloway wanted that basket SO BAD! 😅 @SetonHallMBB https://t.co/I6zuvA2OJ4
And then they call the lightest foul possible to negate a game-winner for Seton Hall. Unreal. https://t.co/YIRMmb2yVq
I hope Creighton and Seton Hall play forever
3OT COMING YOUR WAY! @BluejayMBB x @SetonHallMBB https://t.co/p7A1pydKkc
Somehow @BluejayMBB can hit three, design beautiful offense. Yet dan't hit clutch free throws or inbound the ball. Amazing.
If only this bucket counted for Seton Hall... The Pirates tied it up with free throws and we're heading to TRIPLE Overtime 😱🍿 https://t.co/SlyqgYu5Ot
Triple OT in Jersey. Just nuts. Quick whistle — in what has been a brawl of a game — negates what would have been the go-ahead basket for Seton Hall.
TRIPLE-OVERTIME: Creighton and Seton Hall.
Creighton up four. Fouls the three point shooter. Throws it away on the inbounds. Kadary Richmond makes one of two. To triple OT we go. I LOVE YOU COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Creighton foolishly fouls a three point shooter up four. Al-Amir Dawes mkes all three. Bluejays up 1 with 13.4 to play.
Double OT for Creighton-Seton Hall. Heck of a battle in Jersey.
Seton Hall and Creighton headed to OT in Jersey.
