Seton Hall Pirates
The Seton Hall Pirates are preparing for their first Big East Conference game of the season after suffering a tough loss to in-state rival Rutgers, dropping their record to 5-6 on the season. Head coach Shaheen Holloway expressed disappointment in his team's performance, citing a lack of focus in the final minutes of the game. The Pirates have struggled offensively this season, ranking low in scoring, field goal shooting, and 3-point shooting. However, their defense has been a strong point, ranking highly in scoring defense, field goal defense, and forced turnovers. Despite these challenges, the Pirates are injury-free and ready to improve their performance moving forward. Their statistics show room for improvement on both offense and defense.
