Shaheen Holloway when asked about being linked to the Louisville job opening over the weekend: "What's understood doesn't need to be said. I'm the coach of Seton Hall. Period."

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
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. 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%.
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
