Seton Hall falls to Georgetown for 4th straight loss despite career night from Isaiah Coleman

Kadary Richmond, Dre Davis and Al-Amir Dawes aren’t walking through that door.

Neither are Isaiah Whitehead, Angel Delgado and Khadeen Carrington.

That’s the team Seton Hall has right now, and it’s looking more and more like Isaiah Coleman’s team.

The sophomore wing went for a career-high 25 points with 9 rebounds — his fourth 20+-point outing of the season — but couldn’t lead the Pirates over the hump in a narrow 61-60 loss to Georgetown in their Big East home opener on Prudential Center.

Coleman came off his previous career high of 22 points in the Dec. 17 loss to Villanova.

Hallen (5-8, 0-2 Big East) has dropped four straight and five of six.

After a shot-clock violation by the Hoyas, The Hall got the ball back with 10.2 seconds left while trailing 61-60.

Dylan Addae-Wusu dribbled up the lane but couldn’t get a shot off as he lost the ball on the rim when tied up by Georgetown big man Thomas Sorber.

The Hoyas (10-2, 2-0) are coming off a 24-point rout of Creighton at home and a win over Syracuse at the Dome and have now won three in a row.

No other Pirate besides Coleman reached double figures Addae-Wusu added 9 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists while Chaunce Jenkins scored 9 points with 5 boards

Sorber, the 6-foot-10 Georgetown freshman and Trenton, NJ native, went for 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists with NBA scouts from the Hawks, Spurs, Warriors, Timberwolves and Jazz in attendance.

He showed his versatility by hitting several 15-foot face-up jumpers, backing up Seton Hall big man Godswill Erherience for a layup and knocking down a dunk. He said before the game that he expected about a dozen family and friends to attend.

Jayden Epps added 15 and Micah Peavy 10 for Ed Cooley’s club, which continued to play without sophomore guard Malik Mack (lower body injury).

After trailing 61-50, The Hall responded with an 8-0 run – including a Gus Yalden layup that sent the crowd into applause – to cut it to 61-58 after a pair of foul shots from Scotty Middleton.

After the Hoyas missed two free throws, Coleman drove to the basket and missed a layup, but Yacine Toumi grabbed the offensive rebound.

On the ensuing layup, Coleman alertly made a layup to make it 61-60 after Sorber blocked a driving layup by Jenkins.

The Pirates are off until they visit Xavier on New Year’s Eve.
