The Seton Hall Pirates have made it to the NCAA Tournament. Here’s a preview of the team and a prediction of how they’ll do during March Madness.
Resume
Team: Seton Hall Pirates
Record: 25-8
Conference: Big East
Head coach: Kevin Willard
How they got here: Won conference tournament
The Good
Few teams are more intriguing than Seton Hall, a program that features a stud scorer in Isaiah Whitehead, a fantastic rebounder in Angel Delgado and a great third-option in Desi Rodriguez. The Pirates can beat teams in a lot of different ways, and their balance keeps teams scrambling. Whitehead is a special player who can take over with the ball in his hands.
The Bad
Seton Hall has a tendency to let off the gas and wander mentally, especially late in games, and poise isn’t one of the team’s strong suits. Turnovers have been an issue at times, especially from Whitehead, who can get too loose with the ball.
Prediction
The Pirates have been an average team all season, one that couldn’t quite pull off the shocker save for when it actually beat Wichita State in December. Seton Hall is a candidate to be a one-and-done, and a second-round loss is the ceiling.
