The Pirates open the season on November 12th at The Prudential Center so The Hall Zone has decided to take a look at the opening half of the season with non-conference games.
November 12th St. Francis- As mentioned before should be an easy victory for The Hall in what will probably be an underwhelming crowd at The Rock. St. Francis' defense will not be able to stay with the Pirates high-scoring offense. Prediction: Seton Hall 83 St. Francis 62
November 17th VCU (Charleston Classic)- This game will prove to be a tough task for Willard's young squad against 2011 national championship contender VCU. The Pirates may have an early season upset in mind but the Rams should be too powerful for The Hall. Prediction: VCU 85 Seton Hall 69.
November 18 TBD (Charleston Classic)- Barring some miracle Seton Hall should play St. Joseph's in the second game for the losers of the first game but we will leave the team slot blank because anything is possible.
November 20th TBD (Charleston Classic)- This game depends on Seton Hall's first two outcomes and the the teams in their bracket's outcomes.
November 22nd Yale- Another easy task for the Pirates at home against Yale. Herb Pope should have a field day rebounding against a team that ranked 211th in the country last season for rebounds. The 15-13 record from last year will fool you because they played some underwhelming teams including, Bryant University and Baruch University. They did have one impressive victory though against Boston College in Chesnut Hill early on. If Pope can dominate the boards and create scoring opportunities on offense The Pirates should be fine. Prediction: Seton Hall 81 Yale 63
November 26th St. Peter's- The result should be the same as recent years for the Peacocks, another defeat. Besides the 2009 3 point scare at The Rock the Pirates have won by double digits every year since 2006. That's pretty much enough said. Prediction: Seton Hall 74 St. Peter's 50
Stay tuned for Part 2 of the non-conference schedule soon
