Seton Hall’s men’s basketball team faced a tough challenge on January 25, 2025, as they took to the court against Creighton, marking their fifth consecutive loss of the season. The game was particularly difficult for Seton Hall as two key players, Isaiah Coleman and Chaunce Jenkins, were sidelined due to injuries. Coleman has been an instrumental part of the team, averaging 14.3 points and 4.6 assists per game this season, while Jenkins contributed significantly with an average of 13.2 points and 5.8 rebounds. Head Coach Shaheen Holloway expressed disappointment, stating, ‘We need everyone healthy to compete. Losing Isaiah and Chaunce hurts not just on the scoreboard, but in practice and morale.’ Despite the setbacks, the Pirates attempted to rally, but faced a strong Creighton side determined to use their home court to its advantage in the 15th annual Pink Out game. The event featured pink-themed gear and fundraising efforts to support breast cancer awareness, emphasizing community involvement. Creighton’s head coach, Greg McDermott, noted, ‘The Pink Out game is something special for us; it’s a great way to connect our team with a cause that affects so many people.’ The atmosphere was charged as fans rallied behind both teams, with Seton Hall looking to turn around their fortunes in the coming games. The final score reflected a 78-66 victory for Creighton, further deepening the struggles for Seton Hall as they now sit at the bottom of the conference standings, struggling to find a path back to form as they gear up for their next outing.
