For Seton Hall basketball fans, there is no better time than March at Madison Square Garden. The last two years, the Pirates have played dramatic games, feeling both the exhilaration of a close win and the pain of a heartbreaking loss.
This year, the No. 3-seed Pirates will face No. 6-seed Butler in their Big East quarterfinal matchup on March 8 at 9:30 p.m. In the teams’ last regular season game on March 3, the Pirates broke away from Butler in front of a raucous home crowd at the Prudential Center, with a final score of 77-70.
Desi Rodriguez and Ismael Sanogo were sidelined for that game, and they are still game-time decisions for the quarterfinal rematch, according to Zach Braziller.
