Fresh off of a 91-83 Gavitt Games victory in Iowa City, the Seton Hall Pirates are set to take on their second straight power-conference opponent in the Florida Gators on Thanksgiving night in Orlando. It’s just the third meeting between these two opponents, and the first since the Gators won 70-68 in 1987.
Although they’re guaranteed three games in Disney World this weekend, the Pirates will kick themselves if they miss on this chance to impress the selection committee. Should they win, they’ll face the winner of Gonzaga and Quinnipiac; should they lose, they’ll face the loser of the latter game.
