After taking WVU to OT this past weekend, Seton Hall also took 'Cuse down to the wire tonight. Seton Hall led during much of the game, but the 'Cuse was able to take the lead late in the game and knock down a few free throws to close it out, 80-73.

Jeremy Hazell of Seton Hall followed up his 41 point performance against the Mountaineers with 38 points tonight against the Orange.

Wesley Johnson had a huge game for the Orange with 20 pts, 19 rebs, and 5 blks.

Seton Hall led by as many as 12 in the 1st half but the Orange tied it at 43 at the break. The 2nd half was nip and tuck most of the way but the 'Cuse proved to be too much late in the game. Syracuse actually took control of the game in the last few minutes and Seton Hall scrapped to make it look a little closer.

Oh, Hazell may look like a chipped-tooth gremlin with big ears.....but the kid can ball.

Hazell is definitely amazing. One of the more underrated players in the country.

Seton Hall is no joke. I'll be shocked if they aren't in the tournament.

Hazell had me sold after the WVU game. Kid can flat out ball.
