Projection: likely out
Seton Hall looks like a team on the outside because a stingy defense and resume-boosting moments such as a neutral-site win over NC State and true road victories at Kansas State and Marquette are undermined by a pattern of damaging setbacks to low-end conference foes like DePaul and St John's and by losses to marquee league rivals Villanova and Connecticut at home and on the road. Inconsistent offense, an ugly neutral defeat to USC, and a close loss at Creighton add to an uneven body of work, so unless the Pirates can deliver more resume-enhancing road or neutral wins against high-quality Big East opponents the committee will view the profile as short on the reliable, high-end victories that earn a tournament bid.
