Occasionally patience does get rewarded in revenue college sports. Seton Hall did not make the NCAA tournament in head coach Kevin Willard’s first five seasons, nor did it finish any of those seasons with a winning conference record. But the Pirates are now in the field for the third consecutive year, and with an experienced roster they are talented enough to win a couple games.
But winning has been the rub so far—the Pirates were one-and-done in each of the last two seasons, and you can bet this senior-laden team will be desperate to put an end to that.
