Seton Hall dominated Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) in a college basketball game, winning 85-55. The game saw Seton Hall leading from the start and maintaining a significant lead throughout. Key players such as Al Dawes, Dylan Addae-Wusu, Dre Davis, and Jaden Bediako contributed to the team's strong performance. Seton Hall's defense was effective, forcing FDU into misses on many shot attempts. The Pirates also displayed dominance on the glass, outrebounding FDU. The game ended with Seton Hall achieving a comfortable victory, showcasing their strength and potential for the season.
Seton Hall is up 29, and the possibility of 100 points is very much alive. That happened two years ago against Nyack College, but not against a D1 opponent since Wagner in the 2019-20 season opener. The Pirates have 85 with 6:42 still to play, leading by 29. #shbb #HALLin
NEWARK, N.J. — The Isaiah Coleman game. The freshman has had quite the last couple minutes, infusing offense AND defense for Seton Hall, who is up 25 just past the midpoint of the second half. #shbb #HALLin
Seven Seton Hall players have scored. Each one has at least seven points, so Sha has to be satisfied with the balance. The defense? Maybe not so much. But the Pirates are up 24 at the U12, so there’s that. This is a 74-50 game with 11:17 to play. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall is still up 18 at the U16, leading by a 63-45 margin with 14:40 on the clock. Dawes is up to 12 points. #shbb #HALLin
Half: Seton Hall 54, Albany 39 Richmond: 13 points on 6-of-6 FGs, 4 boards, 3 assists Pirates shot 70 percent from the field, pretty much all good shots.
Raise your hand if you had Seton Hall 50-piecing anyone at halftime this season. Bolstered by 70 percent shooting and Kadary getting 13 points while barely breaking a sweat, that’s exactly what happened tonight. Through 20: It’s the Pirates 54, UAlbany 39. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall is quietly slicing up UAlbany tonight, and as of now, is on pace to set a new record for highest point total scored under Sha. That’s currently 88, set on New Year’s Eve against St. John’s last year. The Pirates are up 47-29 with 3:47 before halftime. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall is shooting a blistering 75 percent from the floor, but it’s more of an efficient 75 backed up by smart shots than torching the net. Still, the Pirates have used the offensive explosion to go up 11 with 7:36 left in the first half, 32-21 the score. #shbb #HALLin
Sha is already nine-deep in his rotation. Sada NgaNga, Arda Özdogan, Jaquan Sanders and Isaiah Coleman are all out there with Dawes (previously Kadary until the last whistle) for a stretch. Seton Hall is up double digits, so the rest for the starters is justified. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall’s run reached 17-3 before it was broken on a Tyler Bertram three. Nonetheless, it’s looking like it’s going to be all Pirates at this rate if it keeps up. With 11:37 remaining in the opening stanza, it’s The Hall 21, UAlbany 12. #shbb #HALLin
Albany’s 7-2 start has been offset by a 12-2 Seton Hall spurt heading to the first media timeout of the night. With 5:46 gone, the Pirates have a 14-9 lead with Davis shooting for a 3-point play on the other side of the whistle. The hosts are 7-of-10 from the floor. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall has its first lead of the night, getting eight straight to counter what was a 7-2 opening salvo by UAlbany. The Pirates have settled in and denied Marshall by and large since his two opening threes in the first minute. #shbb #HALLin
No Onward Setonia tonight to welcome Seton Hall onto the floor, as the band is back home at Walsh for the women’s game against Rutgers. That’s where @JPGuerette is as well, he’s on the PA mic in South Orange and will make his return to the Rock on Saturday. #shbb #HALLin
Called an audible when I realized I wouldn’t be back home until 2am if I went to Rutgers like I initially intended, so I’m in Newark instead. Game #9, and the fourth time I’ve seen @SetonHallMBB already, as the Pirates host @UAlbanyMBB tonight. #shbb #HALLin https://t.co/MpPNHVd3TI

Final score: Seton Hall 85, FDU 55 Center Jaden Bediako took a step forward, a much-needed development for the Pirates -- who looked sharp playing up-tempo. 5 takeaways from a rocking Walsh Gym: https://t.co/EEeZzuDUuF via @asburyparkpress
That’ll do it from Walsh, where Seton Hall dominated FDU to the tune of an 85-55 runaway that wasn’t close even for a second. The Pirates landed the first punch and cruised from there, amassing 61 rebounds and crushing the Knights. #shbb #HALLin

Sha just brought the walk-ons in. #shbb #HALLin
Down the stretch they come in South Orange. Seton Hall heads to the final 3:51 with a 74-46 lead over FDU. For what it’s worth, the Pirates’ all-time high under Sha is 88, set on New Year’s Eve last year against St. John’s. That’s still within reach here today. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall’s up 26, owner of a comfortable 66-40 cushion over FDU as some of the patrons here are beginning the exodus with 7:56 on the clock. Sha will no doubt appreciate the opportunity to give his second unit extended minutes today, as five reserves are out there now. #HALLin
Seton Hall 61, FDU 36, 11:54 to go. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall’s up 20 at the U16, 53-33 over FDU, with 15:42 to play. #shbb #HALLin
Halftime stats for @SetonHallMBB and @FDUKnightsMBB: Not much else to say that hasn’t already been conveyed. #shbb #HALLin https://t.co/h2PyUPnlNg
All Seton Hall today, taking a 47-23 lead into the locker room through 20. The Pirates, plus-17 on the boards by a 31-14 margin, have gotten a combined 17 and 13 from Davis and Bediako, plus a solid 8/5 from Kadary. Sean Moore has seven rebounds for FDU. #shbb #HALLin
Half: Seton Hall 47, FDU 23 Pirates are plus-16 on the glass and have allowed just six fast-break points to run-and-gun FDU. Jaden Bediako (8 points on 3-3 FGs, 6 boards) has looked the part -- important development.
Wally gonna Wally. Right after Dawes knocks down a three, that mysterious guy making all the calls (hi @NJHoopsHaven, RIP @JPPelzman) rung him up for a flop to trigger the last media timeout of the half. Seton Hall is up 18, 35-17, with 3:53 left before halftime. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall is already plus-10 on the glass and has forced FDU into misses on 12 of its 17 shot attempts. That’s the defense Sha wants to see, that didn’t necessarily manifest itself Monday night. Pirates 24, Knights 13 with 7:38 preceding the break. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall is doubling FDU up with 11:34 remaining in the opening stanza, 18-9. As @NJHoopsHaven noted, Bediako has four points and five rebounds against the smaller FDU front line, and the size/physicality advantage is overcoming 0-for-4 at the line and 1-of-6 from Dawes.
Seton Hall has a 10-2 lead through the first 3:34, and after back-to-back threes from Dawes and Davis, Jack Castleberry will talk. #shbb #HALLin
Off and running from South Orange, high atop Walsh Gym. Wusu is first to crack the scoreboard today, Seton Hall then got a stop on its first defensive possession. Pirates 2, FDU nothing a minute in. #shbb #HALLin #uKnighted https://t.co/qRfGxH9Ghd
