NEWARK — Standing in the shadow of Seton Hall’s near-doomed season Khadeen Carrington delivered a superhuman performance.
“Clark Kent,” Ismael Sanogo said about Carrington’s game after the Pirates’ 87-81 win over No. 20 Creighton at Prudential Center. “Every time we need a big bucket, he’s there.”
Carrington delivered multiple big buckets Wednesday night, but the overall show he put on was so much more. The junior finished with a career-high 41 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and four steals. Most importantly in a game decided by six points, Carrington turned the ball over just one time.
“I love how efficient he was,” head coach Kevin Willard said of his lead guard. “Ten-for-fifteen, seven assists, one turnover, four steals. He made his free throws. He rebounded, he defended. That was the best game I’ve seen him play from an all-around standpoint.”
