Since We Last Saw Seton Hall
When Providence last played Seton Hall, the Pirates looked anything but a team that so many would peg as a potential Final Four contender nine months later.It was January 30 and Kevin Willard’s group had lost four straight (most recently an 80-52 beatdown at the hands of Villanova after giving up 97 in a loss to DePaul) when Providence traveled to Newark to take them on.
The Friars were 3-4 in conference play, the Hall 3-5, but the two teams went in drastically different directions after the late January tilt.
We’ll get to why so many have such high hopes for Seton Hall in 2019-20, but first here is a look back at the last time Providence and the Hall matched up.
