Seton Hall Basketball: 3 takeaways from dominant win over Xavier Musketeers

3. Isaiah Coleman breakthrough

When struggles happen, there needs to be players who step up and help get the job done. They got exactly that from Isaiah Coleman, who has had impressive spurts all season long, and this was yet another one of those nights for him. The freshman finished this one with 14 points and three rebounds as he played a great role for this team.

The future will need to be bright for the young Shaheen Holloway, and in an era where a school like Seton Hall may find issues with recruiting, getting a guy like Coleman is a huge find for this team. Now that he is getting some playing time, he will hopefully see more of a reason to stick around with this program. Overall, his development has been fun to watch, and Seton Hall has proven to be a great place for it.

Given that this is an older team, having Coleman around will be great for this team in the present as well, he provides that young guy to bring along for the ride, as well as some fresh athleticism off the bench. His 5-5 from the free throw line was solid to see, and he knocked down an outside shot which is something this team needs a bit more of. This did feel like a bit of a breakout game for him, and the Pirates will want to see more going forward.
