Seton Hall can fully exorcise demons in Big East title game
NEW YORK -- The comparisons were inevitable.
Last season, Seton Hall went 10-2 during the nonconference portion of the campaign, then opened Big East play with wins over eventual NCAA tournament teams St. John’s and Villanova. The Pirates would win just four games the rest of the season, failing to earn a berth to any postseason tournament.
The 2015-16 season brought another hot start: 10-2 in nonconference play, 2-0 to start the Big East season. And then Seton Hall lost four of five games, including a 15-point home loss to Creighton in the middle of that stretch.
But there would be no repeat of 2014-15 in South Orange this season.
