Don’t give up on Seton Hall despite mid-season struggles
Myles Powell and Michael Nzei have been here before.
When Powell was a freshman and Nzei was a redshirt sophomore, Seton Hall sat at 3-6 in Big East play at the halfway point of the conference schedule. The Pirates seemed destined for the NIT, until a late-season stretch featuring wins over two ranked opponents propelled them into the NCAA Tournament. The same applied last season, as a string of four consecutive losses in the middle of Big East play had Seton Hall fans pushing the panic button. By season’s end, the Pirates had locked up an NCAA Tournament bid and advanced to the Round of 32.
