The Seton Hall men’s basketball program is under NCAA investigation and head coach Kevin Willard has been suspended two games to open the season.
Here are more details from the Centre Daily Times:
The Asbury Park Press reported the investigation involved transfer tampering, and the New York Post said it involved the transfer of Taurean Thompson from Syracuse in the fall of 2017.
After sitting out a year, Thompson played in 27 games last season.
Assistant coach Grant Billmeier will run the team in the games Willard misses. The Pirates, who will be looking for their fifth straight NCAA Tournament bid, beat Misericordia 112-38 in their final exhibition on Tuesday night.
