For the first time in 10 years, fans of the Seton Hall Pirates got to see their team on national television next to powerhouses like Kansas and Kentucky on Selection Sunday as they prepare for their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2006.
The Pirates were given a No. 6 seed, which is their highest ranking for March Madness since 1993, when they were No. 2. And while there’s no need to be upset about where they’ve been placed, you can make a real argument that they de- served better.
Over the last two weeks, Seton Hall has taken down three top-five opponents.
