Hazell 4th Seton Hall player to score 2,000

Jeremy Hazell scored 19 points and became the fourth player in Seton Hall history to score 2,000 points in leading the Pirates to a 69-64 victory over turnover-plagued Rutgers on Saturday night.

Jordan Theodore added seven of his 18 points with the game on the line as the Pirates (11-14, 5-8 Big East) avenged a loss last month to their New Jersey rivals. Herb Pope added 12 points for Seton Hall, which shot 50 percent from the field.

Jonathan Mitchell, who hit a last-second, game-winning four-point play in Rutgers' upset of No. 9 Villanova earlier this week, had 22 of his game-high 24 points in the second half. Gilvydas Biruta added 18 for the Scarlet Knights (13-12, 4-9), who had 18 turnovers.
