Seton Hall’s 3 keys to defeating TCU

Seton Hall takes on TCU in a Round-of-64 NCAA tournament Friday in San Diego, here are their three keys to victory.

Protect the defense glass

TCU is a poor shooting team, hitting just 30.4 percent of their 3-point attempts, but the Big 12 school makes up for it by shattering the offensive glass. The Horned Frogs are fourth in the country in offensive rebound percentage at 36.2 percent. The pirates must limit these second-chance opportunities.

don’t calm down

Seton Hall should be prolific in livery. The TCU lacks an eraser around the edge, making it important for Jared Rhoden, Kadary Richmond and Alexis Yetna to get on the lane instead of shooting from the perimeter.

Keep Obigau on the ground.

Seton Hall center Ike Obiagu, the nation’s fifth-ranked shot-blocker with 3.3 rejections per game, needs to stay out of foul trouble to neutralize TCU’s activity around the basket.
