In the NIT quarterfinals, Seton Hall secured a commanding victory over UNLV with a final score of 91-68. The match, held at Walsh Gymnasium on the Seton Hall campus, saw the Pirates dominate from the start, leading to their advancement to the NIT semifinals for the first time since their championship win in 1953. Key performances included Kadary Richmond with an impressive 16 points and 10 assists, and Al-Amir Dawes, who contributed significantly with his three-point shooting early in the second half. UNLV struggled to find their rhythm, shooting poorly from the field and from the three-point line, including 0-9 from 3-point range at halftime. Despite this, Justin Webster's three-pointer extended UNLV's 3-point streak to 1,227 games. The loss concludes UNLV's season with a 21-13 record, marking their most wins since the 2012-13 season. Seton Hall is set to face Georgia in the semifinals, while the other semifinal will feature Indiana State against the winner of Utah-VCU. Dylan Addae-Wusu's halftime dunk and Seton Hall's 56% shooting at halftime were notable moments.

Final: Seton Hall 91, UNLV 68. Not much of a contest tonight, as Seton Hall controls play from start to finish. They'll head to the NIT final four. UNLV bows out with a 21-13 overall record, its most wins since 2012-13. Big offseason ahead. Top priority: Keep D.J. Thomas.

FINAL: Seton Hall 91 UNLV 68. Runnin' Rebels NIT run ends in quarterfinals.
Seton Hall got the perfect sendoff from its fan base tonight, and played a near-perfect game on top of that. The Pirates crushed UNLV, 91-68, advancing to the NIT semifinals for the first time since winning it all in 1953. Next up: Georgia on Tuesday. #shbb #HALLin
They’re going down the stretch at Walsh, and if this is Kadary Richmond’s last home game in a Seton Hall, he’s left a very strong lasting impression in a Pirate uniform, with 16 points and 10 assists. The hosts are 3:53 away from closing out UNLV, up 82-60. #shbb #HALLin
The good news: Justin Webster hits from deep to extend UNLV's 3-point streak to 1,227 games. The bad news: He will need to make eight more in a row to get UNLV back into this game. Anyone got offseason thoughts or questions? Seton Hall 67, UNLV 45 w/ 10:59 remaining.
67-45 Seton Hall at the u-11. Pirates being smart, running the shot clock all the way down with their offense. Bediako (11) has joined Richmond (16) and Dawes (21) in double digits. #shbb #HALLin
The U14 (NIT second-half timeouts are U17, U14 and U11 before resuming normal scheduling with the U8 and U4) has hit at the 13:54 mark, with Seton Hall still in full control of UNLV, up by a 60-38 tally. #shbb #HALLin
Al-Amir Dawes hit 3 threes in the first 107 seconds of the second half. The last one was a heat check from deep, and when it went in, Walsh Gym exploded. Seton Hall is up 27 on UNLV with 18 minutes to go. Barring a stunning collapse, the Pirates are headed to Indianapolis.
With a win @SetonHallMBB would move into the NIT semis at Hinkle https://t.co/SX2yrCTD1O
Halftime: Seton Hall 44, UNLV 26. Seton Hall makes nine of its last 10 field goals and closes the half on a 7-0 run to open it up. The gentleman sitting in front of me, who says he goes to every game in NJ (including UNLV-Princeton), says they look sluggish. "Jet lag, maybe."
Half: Seton Hall 44, UNLV 26. Dylan Addae-Wusu capped off 16-6 run to close the first half with a steal and emphatic dunk at the buzzer. Kadary Richmond has been unstoppable: 13 points on 6/7 shooting, six assists, zero (0!) turnovers in 19 minutes.
HALFTIME: Seton Hall 44 | UNLV 26 📍 PKWY Tavern Flamingo https://t.co/HkdSPR85qg
HALFTIME: Seton Hall 44 UNLV 26. Rough opening 20 minutes for Runnin' Rebels who shot 34% from the field including 0-9 from 3-point range. Seton Hall is shooting 56%.
Dylan Addae-Wusu just put a major exclamation point on this first half with a strip and breakaway dunk combo. The St. John’s expatriate just yammed it one-handed at the horn to put Seton Hall up 18 going to the locker room. After 20: Pirates 44, UNLV 26. #shbb #HALLin
Raise your hand if you had Sada Nganga giving Seton Hall a lift in the first half. All five starters are back out there now, but he helped stem the tide a few minutes ago. UNLV has missed each of its eight threes, and with 6:48 left before halftime, trails, 24-18. #shbb #HALLin
UNLV kind of hanging in there, despite shooting 8-of-22 from the field and 0-of-8 from 3-point range. One assist and five turnovers as a team so far, following up Sunday's 17-assist, one-turnover effort. Seton Hall 24, UNLV 18 w/ 6:48 left in the first half.
UNLV is having a hard time adjusting to the three-headed monster of shooting at Walsh, the capacity crowd, and Seton Hall’s defense. It’s a little easier for the Runnin’ Rebels as of late, but with 11:51 remaining in the opening stanza, the Pirates are 15-8 leaders. #shbb #HALLin
As I told @TheRealTimmyIce and @TheSportsJD on Hoist the Colors yesterday, Seton Hall needed to feed off the crowd in the opening minutes to dictate the tenor of this game. The Pirates have done exactly that through the first 5:22, building a 13-4 lead on UNLV. #shbb #HALLin
