Still, on this night the game featured Mike Rosario of Rutgers and Seton Hall’s Jeremy Hazell, two outstanding Big East talents, consistently delivered for their respective teams. Hazell was a game high scorer while Rosario paced Rutgers. The following is a breakdown using the NBA efficiency calculation ,PTS + REB + A + S + BLK - (missed FG + TO + missed FT)and dividing it by minutes played. At the Half:
For the Game:
Hazell, hit his first three shots of the second half and had a twenty minutes virtually worthy of display in Springfield.
The overall numbers:
Both teams took relatively good care of the ball as evidenced by turnover rate. Seton Hall had a slight rebounding edge which thrilled Bobby Gonzalez because the Hall had been getting beat considerably on the boards in Big East play. Neither team shot very well as both had an effective field goal percentage of 46%.
Coaches’ points : Fred Hill of Rutgers felt the last three minutes of the first half and first three of the second were decisive. "That’s the way it is with us," he said. "We compete but those short stretches where there is a drop off kill us.".
Gonzalez noted how crucial the schedule is. "After beating Georgetown we would have been in for a let down game," he said. "As it turned out we had Rutgers and there was no way our kids wouldn’t be ready to play."
