The South Carolina Gamecocks are headed to New York City on December 12. Their opponent: the Seton Hall Pirates, as part of a doubleheader with Auburn and Boston College at Madison Square Garden, as reported by CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.
Seton Hall is coming off one of their most successful seasons in program history. Coached by six-year head man Kevin Willard, the Pirates were 25-9 in 2015-16 (12-6 in Big East play) en route to a conference tournament title, their first since 1992-93 as a member of the old Big East. They fell to the Gonzaga Bulldogs, 68-52, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, their 10th tournament appearance and first in 23 seasons.
