Shavar Reynolds Jr. has been a four-year guard on the Seton Hall men’s basketball team since he earned a spot on the roster as a walk-on his freshman year. He then earned a scholarship before his sophomore year for the 2018-19 season.
The formative years of his college basketball career were spent playing in a reserve role off the bench for the Pirates. He built a reputation for himself as a hard-working, relentless defensive presence in the backcourt and a player capable of providing the team with a last-second, game-winning basket if needed. As a junior, Reynolds continued to serve as the team’s sixth man and defensive stopper and averaged 4.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 30 games.
Jamorko Pickett scored 19 points, Chudier Bile made big plays on both ends down the stretch and Georgetown reached its first Big East championship game in 11 years with a 66-58 victory over Seton Hall on Friday night.
