NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Seton Hall men's basketball team returns to Prudential Center on Saturday afternoon when it takes on UConn at 2:30 p.m. on FOX.
Saturday's game will be the 73rd all-time meeting between Seton Hall and Connecticut.
Both programs were charter members of the BIG EAST when the conference was formed in 1979.
The two teams have split the last two meetings.
The Pirates' last win over the Huskies was 75-60 victory on Dec. 20, 2024 at Prudential Center.
The win marked the Pirates' largest margin of victory in the all-time series with UConn and against an AP top five team in program history.
Seton Hall is 3-1 at Prudential Center against UConn since the Huskies rejoined the BIG EAST entering the 2020-21 season and the Pirates have won the last three meetings in Newark.
Sunday's game will pit two Seton Hall alums against one another in UConn head coach Dan Hurley and Seton Hall head coach Shaheen Holloway.
Holloway and Hurley are two of five Seton Hall alumni serving as Division I men's basketball head coaches (Grant Billmeier, NJIT; Donald Copeland, Wagner; Levell Sanders, Binghamton), tied for the second-most in Division I with Indiana (5) and behind only Duke (8).
Hurley lettered at Seton Hall from 1991-96, played on three NCAA Tournament teams, scored 1,070 points and ranks ninth on the program's assist list with 437.
The two coaches played at two of the most historic high school basketball program's in New Jersey and arguably the country in St. Anthony (Hurley) and St. Patrick (Holloway).
Both coaches cut their coaching teeth at New Jersey high schools; Holloway as an assistant coach at Bloomfield Tech and Hurley as an assistant at St. Anthony and head coach at St. Benedict's.
The Pirates have been hit with the injury bug as Scotty Middleton, Dylan Addae-Wusu and Chaunce Jenkins have all missed the last two games with injuries.
Middleton, who's averaging 25.5 minutes per game in league play, went down with an ankle injury in the first half against the Blue Demons and did not return.
Addae-Wusu, who's battling foot and ankle injuries, is averaging 12.3 points, 3.0 assists and 2.4 steals per game in league play but he's missed six of the last eight games.
Jenkins (knee), who has led the Pirates in scoring six times this season and The Hall is 4-2 in those games, has missed six straight games.
Isaiah Coleman is one of the top scorer in the BIG EAST in conference play where he ranks fifth in scoring averaging 17.3 points per game against league foes.
Coleman posted his second double-double of the season and his career at Georgetown on Feb. 8 where he scored 21 points and grabbed 10 boards.
Coleman also ranks 14th in the conference averaging 5.8 rebounds per game and eighth shooting 78 percent from the line against BIG EAST foes.
Coleman has scored in double-figures in 13 of his last 16 games and six of those outputs were 20-point performances against BIG EAST teams.
Seton Hall ranks second in the BIG EAST averaging 11.7 offensive rebounds per game.
According to KenPom, the Pirates rank eighth in Div. I in bench minutes (43.1 pct.).
