NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Jeremy Hazell somehow got lost in the wild ending surrounding Seton Hall’s 84-70 upset of No. 15 St. John’s.
It’s the way his senior season has gone with the Pirates.
The shooting guard scored 28 points in a win over Alabama early in the season and broke his wrist in the game. In the middle of his rehabilitation, he was grazed by gunfire in a Christmas holdup attempt near his home.
And when Hazell scored a season-high 31 points in the stunning upset of the red-hot Red Storm on Thursday night, he got pushed into the background with the ejection of St. John’s coach Steve Lavin in the closing minutes.
Hazell doesn’t seem to mind. The lanky 6-foot-5 player seems at peace heading into his final home game on Saturday against Marquette. He will be turning 25 later this month and he wants a shot at the NBA.
