The Seton Hall men’s basketball team welcomed fans back into the Prudential Center for Wednesday’s senior night game against Connecticut. There were about 1,700 people in attendance and seniors Bryce Aiken, Myles Cale, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Shavar Reynolds were all honored before tip-off. And despite a tough loss, having fans back in The Rock was something everyone was looking forward to:

And with that, the seniors are honored with their framed jerseys and a round of applause from a much-missed Seton Hall crowd.
You can really feel the emotion of the moment in the building, and the pregame compilations put together before the game gave you the good chills. pic.twitter.com/tHUUIRz3WU

Our staff worked really hard to make this game happen with very little sleep and lots of love. Glad we were able to get everyone in the door to celebrate an incredible senior class.
Now I sleep. https://t.co/nD1MOrETZ4
