Hazell Signs with Suns

Former Seton Hall great Jeremy Hazell, has been signed to the training camp squad of the Phoenix Suns. Hazell previously played with Spanish Club, Club Baloncesto Lucentum Alicante during the NBA lockout. At Seton Hall, Hazell averaged 18.8 PPG for his career and finished 3rd on Seton Hall's all-time scoring list with 2,146 career points. Had he not been injured last year, he probably would have eclipsed Terry Dehere as The Pirates all-time leader in scoring. Now, it's time for me to go out and buy my Hazell, Suns' Jersey.

Two HUGE Stories: Indiana Shocks Kentucky, Xavier Cincy Brawl

Christian Watford's three AT THE BUZZER, lifts Indiana over NUMBER 1 Kentucky. Yes, i am a little bit excited. To take words from "Hall Zone" contributer, Christian Alfano, After the game, "You can't even see where the court stops and the seats begin". It was EPIC. Look it up on ESPN.com and youtube.com.

Now onto something shocking but not in a good way;

Xavier held a blow-out lead in a relatively calm game until a huge brawl took place. If you look up the video you will see evidence to back up my statement. Mick Cronin: Either Suspend Yancy Ganes for the rest of the year or just simply KICK HIM OFF OF THE TEAM. His cold cock punch on Kenny Frease was despicable. That is not something that should be happening on a basketball court.

Hall Blows By NJIT

Before I started to hyperventilate after a first half, in which Seton Hall only led by two at the break, the Pirates finally started to pull away. The Hall beat NJIT 78-48 at The Rock tonight but in the first half it didn't look like they would win by 30. In the first half it was a sea-saw matchup which ended up with The Hall leading by two at the break. Coach Willard must have said something that rang in the players ears because in the second half they were a whole different team. The Papacy, Herb Pope had a game-high 25 points, along with 6 rebounds, while Jordan "Theo" Theodore had a double-double with 11 points and 11 assists. It was a tale of two halves but they got the job done and now we will see which Pirate team comes out of the tunnel on Saturday night against Wake Forest.

Pirates tame the Tigers with a blow-out victory

Seton Hall got the job done last night. After playing not as well as they should have versus Yale and St. Peter's the Pirates redeemed themselves with an 81-59 thrashing of Auburn. Auburn never held a lead in this game and a key to that was Seton Hall's ability to score at will. The Papacy, Herb Pope had yet another double-double, netting 23 points and 12 rebounds. Patrik Auda also had a big game with 17 points and 7-7 from the free throw line. Also, Jordan Theodore had 10 assists and 5 rebounds and Fab Freshman Aaron Cosby had 4 three pointers. Overall the pirates did very well, scoring the most points they have all season and now they face NJIT at The Rock on Tuesday night.

1 Sword- Aaron Cosby
2 Swords- Patrik Auda/Jordan Theodore
3 Swords- Herb "Papacy" Pope

One other note, Jordan Theodore has cracked the top 10 assists leader in the country, with 50 to start the year.

Halftime Update: Pirates 38 Auburn 31
