Special to BIGEAST.com
We’re coming up on the midway point of the BIG EAST conference schedule and through the season’s first month only the Seton Hall Pirates remain unscathed in league play with their 7-0 record.
Sitting atop the BIG EAST standings heading into this week’s action, the Pirates have already posted four road wins in the conference with victories at DePaul, Xavier, Butler and St. John’s. And more comforting news for the Pirates - seven of their remaining 11 conference games will be played at home.
So Seton Hall, currently the No. 10 team in the country in the latest AP Top 25 poll, is obviously in tremendous shape for a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.
