NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW

Off to a 2-0 start under first-year head coach Shaheen Holloway, Seton Hall will welcome its first big test of the season as the Pirates take on the Iowa Hawkeyes at Prudential Center on Wednesday as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games.
Holloway is the first Seton Hall coach since Tommy Amaker in 1997-98 to win his first two games as head coach.
Ironically, Holloway was a junior and the starting point guard for Amaker in 1997-98.
The best start for a head coach in Seton Hall history belongs to Hoddy Mahon, who led the Pirates to a 6-0 start in his lone season as the big whistle in 1981-82.
The Hall is looking to start 3-0 for the second consecutive season.
Holloway is the first Seton Hall graduate to lead the men's basketball program since all-time great Richie Regan '53 led the Pirates from 1960-70.
The last time Holloway was on the Seton Hall bench was as an associate head coach from 2010-18.
In that time span, the Pirates registered four 20-win seasons, three NCAA Tournament appearances and won the 2016 BIG EAST Tournament title.
The Pirates are 82-11 (.881) all-time at Prudential Center against non-conference opponents and have won their last 13 games against non-league foes at The Rock.
Through two games, four Pirates are averaging at least 10.5 points per game and 10 Pirates are averaging at least 15.5 minutes per contest.
Seton Hall is allowing only 48 points per game, 16 percent shooting from three (7-of-44) and 29 percent shooting from the floor through the first two games.
In Holloway's last 12 games as a head coach, his teams have allowed just 55.4 points per game.
KC Ndefo (Elmont, N.Y.) is the NCAA's active career leader in blocks with 312.
Senior Al-Amir Dawes (Newark, N.J.) is coming off of his first career double-double with a 13-point, 10-rebound performance against Saint Peter's.
Dawes is the first Pirates newcomer to score in double figures in his first two games in the Blue & White since Derrick Gordon in 2015-16.
Reunited are juniors Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Femi Odukale (Brooklyn, N.Y.), who were high school teammates at South Shore High School in Brooklyn.
With the Davis' (Dre and Tae) and the Harris' (Jamir and JaQuan), Seton Hall is one of three schools in DI (Clemson and Kansas City) that has two sets of brothers on the same team.
