SOUTH ORANGE -- Seton Hall had a big Selection Sunday party last year that was open to the public. The Pirates had the cross-county trip, the national media attention, the open practices and all the frills that accompanied the program's first NCAA Tournament trip in a decade.
Headed back to the postseason for a second straight year, the Pirates are looking for one thing they didn't get last in last season's NCAA Tournament -- a win.
As ninth-seeded Seton Hall prepares to face eighth-seeded Arkansas on Friday at 1:30 p.m., the Pirates are applying the lessons they learned from last year's painful first-round exit.
