Willard pushes right buttons as Pirates rebound

Kevin Willard knew exactly what he was doing when he uttered the words that sent shockwaves through the Seton Hall basketball community following the Pirates’ 74-71 loss to Providence two weeks ago.

Visibly frustrated throughout the game, Willard was not happy with his team once the final buzzer sounded. Seton Hall lacked any sort of energy in the first half, falling behind by as many as 25 points in the opening minutes. The Pirates put together a spirited second half comeback, but ultimately fell short. Any moral victory that came with Seton Hall’s strong second half was not enough for Willard.
