The word of the summer for Seton Hall basketball was transition.
The team qualified for its third straight NCAA Tournament last season, led by the likes of Khadeen Carrington, Angel Delgado and Desi Rodriguez. Since then, however, those three, Ismael Sanogo and several other pieces have either graduated or transferred elsewhere.
Rightfully, the team has seen scrutiny over the past few seasons. Despite finding success in 2017-18, the Pirates lost to Butler, 75-74, in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals and could not make it past Kansas in the second round of the NCAAs.
The failures on this level over the past two seasons do not undermine the amount of success and the immense legacy that the four seniors leave behind.
