We weren't surprised at the scrap that Seton Hall displayed yesterday when clawing back against VCU to force overtime and then prevail in the added five minutes in the first round at Charleston. Shaheen Holloway's offense still isn't burning the nets but we saw a lot more on Thursday from the Pirates, who got buckets when they needed them from ODU transfer G Chaunce Jenkins, who scored 22 and continues to pace the attack (he's now at 16.2 ppg), while the Hall picked the proper spots to fire three-balls and ended up hitting 7 of 12 after barely coneceting on 25% of their triples into Thursday. Meanwhile, Vandy was all out in the late game to hold off Nevada last night as Mark Byington's transfer-laden squad moved to 5-0. The quick turnaround less than 24 hours later (the Pirates having played earlier on Thursday) might not work in the favor of the Dores. Play Seton Hall (at Charleston)
