    Khadeen Carrington and his Seton Hall teammates made the NCAA Tournament a year ago after stunning Villanova in the Big East Tournament championship game at Madison Square Garden.

    Now, with another huge game against the No. 2 Wildcats on tap on Saturday, Carrington says the season will be a failure if the Pirates don’t go dancing again.

    “I would consider it a failure,” Carrington, who is coming off a career-best 41-point outing in Wednesday’s win over Creighton, told me Friday. “I think we definitely have enough strength, enough players. We’re a good team. I think we definitely are a tournament team and we’re just focused on making this last home stretch a good one and making a run to the NCAA.”

    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.”

    ROSELLE, N.J. — Jalen Carey was unstoppable for one half on Sunday at the Primetime Shootout, but in the end he and his Montclair Immaculate team had no answer for Naz Reid.

    The 6-foot-3, 170-pound Carey scored 25 of his game-high 37 points in the first half, but Immaculate lost to Roselle Catholic, 86-74, largely due to Reid’s 36 points, 18 rebounds and three blocks. The 6-10 Reid scored 25 in the second half against an overmatched front line.

    “It was tough,” said Carey, who added eight rebounds and five assists. “I’ll give him a little bit of credit, he showed why he’s one of the top players in that class but as a team collectively we’ve got to be able to stop [him]. He actually took over that third quarter.”

    Carey and Reid showed out in front of a slew of college coaches, including Kentucky’s John Calipari and Tony Barbee; Seton Hall’s Kevin Willard, Shaheen Holloway and Grant Billmeier; Rutgers’ Steve Pikiell; UConn’s Dwayne Killings; St. John’s Matt Abdelmassih; Georgetown’s Anthony Solomon; and Tulane’s Doug Stewart.

    NEWARK — With nine seconds left on the clock in Seton Hall’s second straight overtime appearance, freshman guard Myles Powell elevated in the lane and let the ball fly from his right hand.

    “Please drop,” Powell said of the thoughts going through his mind as he attempted the eventual game-winning shot.

    The sharpshooting rookie got his wish – as the ball clanked off the back of the rim and fell through the net – leading the Pirates to a 72-70 victory over Providence at Prudential Center.

    Coming off a victory Saturday at Georgetown, the Pirates found themselves in their second straight overtime contest — their first such stretch since Dec. 9 and Dec. 22 of 2007, against Penn State and James Madison, respectively.

    ROSELLE, N.J. — Seton Hall may remain an underdog to blue chip programs Duke, Kansas and Arizona in the Trevon Duval Sweepstakes but rule them out at your own peril.

    Seton Hall sounds like a legitimate option for the 6-foot-3 point guard who used to play at St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark and returned to the Garden State for two games this weekend with his IMG Academy (FL) team.

    About 150 blue-clad Pirates fans showed out at Roselle Catholic High School on Super Bowl Sunday to support Duval in his showdown against The Patrick School, the No. 1 team in the Garden State. Pirates head coach Kevin Willard and his entire staff were on hand. And several key Seton Hall players, including juniors Angel Delgado and Desi Rodriguez and freshman Myles Powell, Duval’s close friends, were also in the building.
