The Big East conference consists of 10 schools, and in most sports, each school plays the other at least once, if not twice. If the schools play twice, then the two will play once on their home field/court, and once on the road. That only makes for about half of a team’s games.
What happens to the other half of the season?
Schools such as Seton Hall will fill up the remainder of its schedule, mostly at the beginning of the season, with games featuring schools from other athletic conferences. Popular schools that Seton Hall squares off with are usually in other conferences, such as Rutgers (Big Ten), Rider University (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) and Princeton (Ivy League).
