In many ways, the 2018-19 Seton Hall men’s basketball team embodies the “Hazard Zet Forward” motto.
The slogan, which sits proudly on Seton Hall’s school crest, translates to “Whatever the peril, ever forward” in English. The gritty roster put forth by Kevin Willard this season has exemplified this to a tee, as the Pirates advanced to the Big East Championship game with a dramatic, 81-79 win over Marquette on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
The win puts Seton Hall on a four-game winning streak, which includes two defeats over the Golden Eagles, a regular season finale victory over Villanova, and a decisive Big East Tournament win over Georgetown.
