Non-conference play continues for NJIT and Seton Hall on Wednesday night in a Garden State battle in college basketball.
On Wednesday night, the New Jersey Institute of Technology will take the short trip to Newark to play Seton Hall in a non-conference battle at the Prudential Center. The Highlanders have struggled this season and come into Wednesday night’s game with a record of 1-8 so far. Most recently, the team played Atlantic 10 member UMass, falling in an 80-68 defeat on the road.
Tariq Francis led all scorers in the loss with a 24-point performance, while Sebastian Robinson was the only other Highlander in double figures with 14 points. Tim Moore Jr. led NJIT on the boards with 11 rebounds and added nine points to the scoreboard to narrowly miss out on a double-double in the loss. The team struggled with shooting, finishing the game at 34 percent from the field and just 27 percent from beyond the arc. At the line, the Highlanders went 22-for-28, but it wasn’t enough to make a dent in the deficit the Minutemen created.

The Pirates come into Wednesday’s home game with a record of 4-4 so far and will look to bounce back from a 63-51 loss to New Jersey foe Monmouth over the weekend. Isaiah Coleman breeched the 20-point mark with an even 20 points on the day to lead the Pirates offensively, and Chaunce Jenkins joined him in double figures with a 12-point performance. Emmanuel Okorafor came off the bench and pulled down six rebounds to lead on the boards. The team only shot 35 percent from the field, 23 percent from long range and just 50 percent from the line, making it difficult to keep the Hawks within striking distance.
NJIT and Seton Hall have met six times previously and the Pirates earned wins in each of those games. The last meeting dates back to 2017 when the Pirates earned a 82-53 win at home.
