After closing out the regular season with a sweep of conference foe Butler, the Pirates secured their 3rd seed in the Big East playoffs which start tonight, May 26 at 7 p.m. in Aberdeen, Maryland.
The Hall takes on second-seeded Creighton, who bested the Pirates in two of the contests from their three game series earlier this year. Since then, the Hall has risen to 38-18 and are now riding a five-game win streak.
Despite dropping two to the Jay’s earlier this season, senior Derek Jenkins remains optimistic about the matchup. “If we play how we’re supposed to play, play like we’re having fun, we can be very successful here,” Jenkins said.
