NEW YORK -- Seton Hall hasn't used up all of its Madison Square Garden magic just yet.
One year after stunning Villanova to win its first Big East Tournament title in 23 years, the fifth-seeded Pirates erased a first-half deficit to dominate Marquette in the tourney quarterfinals, 82-76.
This victory sets up the rematch that all Pirates fans want. Kevin Willard's team will face top-seeded and defending national champion Villanova on Friday in the semifinals, and while the trophy won't be awarded, a victory will put the Hall one win away from defending its title.
