Projection: likely out

Seton Hall's résumé sits just outside because it pairs eye-catching neutral and true road wins over NC State and Kansas State with damaging results such as repeated losses to Villanova and a home defeat to Connecticut. A narrow road loss at Creighton and setbacks away at St John's and DePaul complete a profile that contains too many resume blemishes. A stout defensive identity has kept them competitive while an uneven offense has turned winnable nights into close defeats. Upcoming home dates with Providence and DePaul and a clash with Georgetown give clear chances to strengthen the case while a trip to Connecticut and a matchup at Xavier are swing opportunities that could either close the gap or reinforce the current standing. Overall they have shown they can beat quality opponents but until they start cleaning up road results and pick up a couple of defining wins they will remain on the outside.
