Seton Hall never trailed, jumping out to a 15-2 lead to start the game, and never looked back. The Pirate lead grew to as many as 37 points in the second half as they improved to 2-0 on the young season with a second-straight blowout victory.

What Happened:
Seton Hall assumed control from the start, holding Yale without a field goal for the first 5:46 of the game. During that time, the Pirates raced out to a 15-2 lead thanks in large part to 6-for-8 shooting from the floor, which included a pair of made three-pointers by Harris. After the teams traded buckets, the Bulldogs bounced back with an 11-2 run of their own to close the gap to 19-15. In a half of runs, the Pirates responded by taking off again, scoring 14 unanswered points, and a pair of free-throws by Richmond gave them a commanding 33-15 advantage with just 4:33 to go before halftime.
Leading 36-22, The Hall finished the first half with a 9-0 burst, highlighted by a double-clutch layup by Aiken that also drew a foul, and capped by a buzzer-beating tip-in by Cale to send the Pirates into the locker room up, 45-22.
The Seton Hall defense held Yale to just 2-for-18 shooting from three-point range in the first half and only 26.5% overall from the floor.
