Kevin Willard is tired of talking about last year, about the end-of-the-year meltdown brought on by dissension in the ranks, about last year's BIG EAST Tournament when his Seton Hall Pirates bowed out meekly to Marquette in the first round. This is a new year. The dissension is a thing of the past, winning has replaced infighting and even the BIG EAST Tournament has a different feel to it this season. Thursday night third-seeded Seton Hall showed what it can do when these young Pirates are all on the same page as they fought off a sensational outing by Creighton's Cole Huff and a gutty bunch of Bluejays to pull out a hard-fought 81-73 victory in a quarterfinal-round game in the BIG EAST Tournament Presented by Jeep Brand.
