NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Seton Hall men's basketball team returns to action on Saturday when the Pirates head to the nation's capital to face Georgetown at 12 p.m. on Saturday.
At 121 meetings, Georgetown is The Hall's second-most frequently opponent.
Both programs were charter members of the BIG EAST when the conference was formed in 1979.
The Pirates swept the season series last season but the Hoyas went ahead in the all-time series at 61-60 after their 61-60 win at Prudential Center on 12/22/24.
The Hall has won seven of the last eight contests against Georgetown.
In a matchup between two former MAAC head coaches, Shaheen Holloway is 3-3 all-time against Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley with Holloway winning three of the last four meetings.
Seton Hall's last loss at Capital One Arena was a 77-71 double overtime defeat on 3/2/19.
The Pirates have been hit with the injury bug as Scotty Middleton, Dylan Addae-Wusu and Chaunce Jenkins have all missed the last three halves of basketball 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 five of the last seven 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 five straight games.
Isaiah Coleman has come into his own in conference play where he ranks sixth in scoring averaging 18.5 points per game against BIG EAST foes.
Coleman returned to form in the loss at DePaul where he scored a game-high 18 points with four rebounds and three steals.
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 is tied for fifth in the BIG EAST with seven 20-point games this season.
Coleman is one of only four Pirates since 1988 to score at least 15 points in the first five BIG EAST games of the season joining Mark Bryant (1987-88), Terry Dehere (1992-93) and Myles Powell (2019-20).
Coleman has scored in double-figures in 12 of his last 15 games and five of those outputs were 20-point performances against BIG EAST teams.
Prince Aligbe is averaging 10.4 points per game and shooting 56 percent from the floor in conference games.
Aligbe tied his career highs with 19 points in 33 minutes in the loss against Providence on 1/28.
Aligbe has registered 10 double-figure scoring games this season after arriving at The Hall with just 12 double-figure scoring games in two seasons at Boston College.
Aligbe has scored in double-digits in seven of Seton Hall's last nine games.
Addae-Wusu went over 400 career assists on against Providence and he now has 1,000 career points, 400 assists and 200 steals.
Addae-Wusu trails only Creighton's Ryan Kalkbrenner for the most career BIG EAST games played among active players with 85.
Stepping up in a time of need in the Seton Hall backcourt, Garwey Dual has shown signs of improvement over the last four games where he has averaged 8.6 points, 4.0 assists and 3.2 steals in 32.2 minutes per game.
Seton Hall ranks fourth in the BIG EAST in bench scoring averaging 22.0 points per game.
According to KenPom, the Pirates rank eighth in Div. I in bench minutes (42.8 pct.)
The Pirates rank second in the BIG EAST and 89th nationally averaging 12.0 offensive rebounds per game.
