Seton Hall Upsets No. 15 St. John's

Mar 4, 2011 6:12 AM

Seton Hall defeated No. 15 St. John's convincingly 84-70 at the Prudential Center on Thursday night.

The Pirates pulled away from the Red Storm over the game's final four minutes.

St. John's coach Steve Lavin and senior forward Justin Burrell were both ejected in separate incidents in the final moments.

"Coming in we knew we were playing the Johnnies and we knew it was going to be a metropolitan area rivalry so we just wanted to come out with the win so we could be the big-time guys in the metropolitan area," said Seton Hall's Jeremy Hazell, who had a season-high 31 points.

"And our guys came out and played great and we stuck it to them and came out victorious."
