8:15 a.m.: Dressed in a black suit with a dark blue shirt and tie, Myles Powell waits to catch a train. It’s an early Thursday morning at the South Orange train station. A cold wind blows a paper bag over the tracks.
Powell, along with his Seton Hall teammates Myles Cale and Mike Nzei, are heading into Madison Square Garden. However, the Pirates will not be taking the court in shorts and sneakers, but belts and dress shoes. The trio is set to attend Big East Basketball Media Day.
8:33 a.m.: Powell stands on the train, his back leaned up against the vertical pole like a subway veteran.
