Two. That's the number of games the Seton Hall Pirates played as a ranked team (#24) this season. Unfortunately, it's also the number of games the Villanova Wildcats have lost at the Pavilion in their last 53 contests. Tonight, the Pirates will attempt to defeat the Wildcats at the Pavilion for the first time in almost 18 years. Whether a win tonight (in their only game of the week) gets Seton Hall back into the Top 25 is irrelevant, what matters most is a return to winning basketball.
With the schedule tightening up after a home date with Notre Dame next Wednesday, it's imperative the Pirates get back on the board with a W tonight. Still, there's no looking ahead for the Pirates right now, as the old adage goes, one game at a time. There's no better night to take that 'one game' and snap a whole bunch of streaks while doing so.
As always, Let's Go Hall!

Wow. Talk about tough to spell
Every single player on that starting lineup has a name that is tough to spell.

Wow. That was just embarassing
However, the team showed some heart in the 2nd half. Tough to win when you have to beat the other team and the refs. However, no excuse for shooting as poorly as they did or having no effort in the 1st half. However, 41-16 on FT attempts shows how awful these refs were. Just plain awful. Every time SHU played good defense, a foul was called. This team must rebound and win vs. Notre Dame next week. I still fell like we could win all 6 home games that are left on the schedule and that puts as at 21 wins and 10 conference wins. If we can steal a game or two on the road (@ Rutgers, @Depaul come to mind) then we should have 23 wins with 12 conference wins and be a lock for the tourney. Just have to take care of business at home, where we are unbeaten.
