NEWARK — Seton Hall was 3.6 seconds away from adding insult to an already injurious week. Then Eugene Harvey saved them the trouble.
After Wesley Jenkins hit an elbow jump shot to put St. Peter’s up 51-50 with the few remaining seconds left, the Pirates ran their desperation play. Jeremy Hazell inbounded to Herb Pope, who found Harvey on the left sideline just prior to halfcourt.
Harvey took off from about 30 feet out, double clutched and let it go with one hand. Then the entire arena watched in momentary silence as it sailed in as the buzzer went off to give the Pirates a 53-51 win.
