Dawes and Richmond lead Seton Hall to a 78 75 win over No. 7 Marquette

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Al Amir Dawes had 23 points and Kadary Richmond scored 21 to lead Seton Hall over No. 7 Marquette 78 75 on Saturday for the Pirates' third win this season over ranked teams. Seton Hall (10 5, 3 1 Big East) held off a late scare from a well rested Marquette, which hadn't played since defeating Creighton 72 67 on Dec.

30. A 10 0 run pushed the Seton Hall lead to 76 66 with 2:25 left to play. Dre Davis and Richmond each had four points in the burst. And then the Golden Eagles scored nine straight points to bring the game to 76 75, but they mishandled an inbound pass after a timeout and threw the ball out of bounds with four seconds remaining.

Oso Ighodaro led Marquette (11 4, 2 2) with 22 points. David Joplin scored 15 points. Davis had 11 points and seven rebounds for the Pirates, who never trailed in the second half. Seton Hall defeated No. 5 UConn 75 60 on Dec. 20 and No. 23 Providence 61 57 on Jan. 3. INJURY UPDATE: Marquette sixth man Chase Ross wrestled a loose ball with 11:17 remaining in the first half.

He left with an apparent shoulder injury and didn't return. BIG PICTURE: Marquette: Tyler Kolek had an uncharacteristic game with just five points (1 of 6 from the field) and three turnovers. It marked the second straight dismal shooting effort for the reigning Big East player of the year. Kolek was just 2 of 11 against Creighton.

Seton Hall: The Pirates have used the 3 pointer as their primary weapon of choice over the last two games. They were 6 of 15 beyond the arc against Marquette and 7 of 16 in the win over Providence.
