Seton Hall University's Men's Basketball team, under the leadership of Coach Shaheen Holloway, clinched a hard-fought 78-75 victory over the 7th-ranked Marquette. The Pirates showcased a strong start despite Marquette initially making 6 of their first 8 shots. Seton Hall, propelled by Al-Amir Dawes' perfect shooting including three 3-pointers, went on a 25-7 run. Marquette tried to regain control, but Seton Hall's defense held strong, forcing 22 turnovers. Davis hit a crucial triple, leading to a timeout called by Coach Sha with 5:04 left in the first half. Dawes ended the first half with 15 points, even as Seton Hall's Kadary Richmond faced foul trouble. Marquette's early momentum cooled off after their hot start. The second half saw Coach Sha pumped up as Seton Hall went on a 10-2 run, prompting another timeout with 15:42 to play. The Pirates' victory was also marked by their wins over UConn and Providence, showcasing their resilience and tactical prowess. After a review, Seton Hall retained possession of the ball, and despite Marquette scoring 32 points off turnovers, the Pirates dominated the boards, outrebounding their opponents 43-25.
Dawes on turnovers: “We definitely gotta clean that up.” #shbb #HALLin
Dawes: “We expect to win games like this. This is what we’re here for. To see it working and to see us coming together, it’s pretty nice.” #shbb #HALLin
Al Dawes: “Once we’re together, we can achieve anything.” #shbb #HALLin

Seton Hall takes down No. 7 Marquette! https://t.co/q1WOvYmnig
The Hall is BACK!! Seton Hall has now taken down No. 4 UConn, No. 23 Providence and No. 7 Marquette since Dec. 20.
Since losing to Rutgers, Seton Hall has a neutral-site win over Missouri, home wins over two top-10 teams (UConn and Marquette) and a road win over a top-25 Providence team. The Pirates are right in the NCAA Tournament conversation. Incredible coaching job from Shaheen Holloway. https://t.co/bLpCaV0dzy

SETON HALL KNOCKS OFF NO. 7 MARQUETTE 78-75 😮 https://t.co/MNYbvkZFyT
Seton Hall does it again- 3rd win over Top 25 team after holding off Marquette. Kadary Richmond/Dre Davis combo is tough.
Shaheen Holloway has willed Seton Hall into national relevance. Pirates now have wins over Marquette, UConn, and Providence. Officially "in position to be in position". https://t.co/lDwQg2wXtT
FINAL: Seton Hall 78, No. 7 Marquette 75. What a week for Shaheen Holloway and the Pirates. Started with a road win at Providence and today against Marquette at home. On top of a win over UConn in December. Three ranked Big East wins. Dawes and Richmond combined for 44.
No. 7 Marquette loses 78-75 at Seton Hall. #Butler plays Wednesday at Marquette and is home vs. Seton Hall next Saturday.
Big time at win at home for Seton Hall knocking off Marquette. On Wednesday they won at Providence. Someone wants to be ranked!
Now on @njdotcom Seton Hall propels itself into NCAA Tournament conversation with win over No. 7 Marquette https://t.co/jxeo8ekYcu @SetonHallMBB
Seton Hall goes from zero to three Q1 wins in a matter of a couple weeks. The only teams that probably have a better collection of three Q1 wins are Purdue, Arizona, Marquette, Kansas and Villanova. Good company to be in. Impressive turnaround by the Pirates.
Seton Hall picks up a massive victory for Selection Sunday. They now have two big scalps with victories over both Marquette and UConn.
Don't look now, but @SetonHallMBB has won five of its last six, including against UConn, Providence and now Marquette. Don't know many who had Pirates near top of Big East standings but there they are. Love the fight in @CoachSha10 team.
Shaheen Holloway is working some magic. Now has wins over Marquette, UConn and Providence. Pretty damn impressive. #shbb
Seton Hall has established itself as the giant killer of the Big East. Each of the Pirates’ three league wins has come against ranked teams: UConn, Providence, and perhaps their most impressive today all things considered, a 78-75 takedown of No. 7 Marquette. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
Marquette had an extra second, but couldn’t handle an outlet pass cleanly, throwing it away. Seton Hall will inevitably ice it if it can hit a free throw. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
WHAT A SHOT @SetonHallMBB 😱 https://t.co/tncjVfeMDO
Seton Hall 78, Marquette 75, 5.4 seconds left. I’d foul if I were Sha. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
Six kills for Marquette. #mubb
It took all day, but we’re going #ToTheMonitor. The review was short and sweet, though. Seton Hall ball. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
SETON HALL 76, MARQUETTE 73 ON @CBSSportsNet! https://t.co/REzM5ZU1u8
Two just really bad passes for @SetonHallMBB opens the door for @MarquetteMBB. Pirates up three with a minute
Things just got interesting in Newark. Seton Hall was up 10 with 2:26 left, looked like it was going to cap off a tremendous week -- and then Marquette scored seven points in less than a minute to cut the lead to three with 1:05 left. Been a fun game.
In the words of Lee Corso, not so fast. Seven straight for Marquette has made this a one-possession game again, and now it’s Sha’s turn to call a timeout. Reach for the Maalox over the final 65 seconds. Seton Hall still leads, 76-73. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
.@SetonHallMBB's lead has expanded to 10 over Marquette 👀 https://t.co/jYmN1LdF5l
Seton Hall is up 10, and Shaka won’t wait for the dead ball to call a timeout. His self-induced stoppage becomes the U16 after the Pirates stormed out of the locker room. A 10-2 run by the hosts after a Marquette three has made the score 54-44, with 15:42 to play. #shbb #HALLin
Seton Hall is playing a different brand of basketball🔥 Seton Hall leads Marquette 47-44 with 17:00 to go‼️ https://t.co/QIM1V6WklP
Quite the first 20 in Newark. Led by Dawes’ 15, Seton Hall survived the last seven-plus minutes with Kadary in foul trouble and will take a 3-point lead into the locker room on No. 7 Marquette, who cooled off after a hot start. Pirates 42, Golden Eagles 39. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
Seton Hall leads Marquette by six and @CoachSha10 is pumped up 😤 📺 @CBSSportsNet https://t.co/sFbL81muLI
Seton Hall now on a 25-7 run and leads No. 7 Marquette 38-30 Al-Amir Dawes is a perfect 5-of-5 for 15 points, including 3-of-3 from deep https://t.co/77zdVdhl3K
Seton Hall now on a 17-7 run and leads No. 7 Marquette 35-30 Al-Amir Dawes is a perfect 4-of-4 for 12 points, including 2-of-2 from deep https://t.co/77zdVdhl3K
Seton Hall is on a 22-7 run since trailing by 10 earlier in this half, and after Davis just knocked down a triple from dead center, Shaka wants to have a few words with the 7th-ranked team in the country. That comes with 5:04 on the clock. Pirates 35, Marquette 30. #shbb #HALLin
We’re off to a fast start through the first 3:38, only slowed down by the timeout Sha just called after Oso had an easy breeze through the lane. Marquette has made 6 of its first 8, while Seton Hall is keeping up with 3 of its first 5 in a 14-10 game so far. #shbb #HALLin #mubb
