Winners of its last five games and eight of its last nine going back to Dec. 12, the Seton Hall men's basketball team will next take on No. 18 Creighton at 12 p.m. on Saturday at Prudential Center.
Seton Hall is 8-1 at Prudential Center this season and it's 84-63 (.571) all-time in Newark against BIG EAST competition.
The Hall dispatched Metropolitan Area foe St. John's on Tuesday, 80-65, in a game where it went on an epic 28-0 run that led the Pirates to their eighth win over the Red Storm in the last 10 meetings.
Dylan Addae-Wusu posted his fifth-career double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds to go along with a team-best five assists in the win and Elijah Hutchins-Everett came off the bench to score 14 points and pull down seven boards.
Seton Hall's 6-1 start to BIG EAST play is tied for the second-best start in program history.
Seton Hall is one of 10 teams in Division I with at least four Quad 1 wins (Purdue, Arizona, Houston, Kansas, UConn, Villanova, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas A&M.)
The Pirates' 4-3 record against Q1 opponents ranks 20th in the country.
Picked to finish ninth out of 11 teams in the BIG EAST preseason poll, the Pirates are currently in a tie for first place in the conference standings with UConn.
