Leading the way was Seton Hall, transfer and Indianapolis native, Tae Davis with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while guarding the Broncos most explosive player on the floor.

As for production, the Irish didn't lack on either side of the ball and that turned into shot opportunities for Braeden Shrewsberry. Going 4-6 from beyond the arc, ending the night with 16 points off the bench.

"Now they're getting an opportunity and they're playing really, really hard and they're gonna continue to get rewarded, if they play that way. They're playing hard and the playing unselfish and they're playing the right way. So it happens. It's I'm glad that we're seeing this kind of production," Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry said.

The 4-4 Irish prepare for their next matchup on the road against #8 ranked Marquette.
