The Pirates are playing three of their next four games at the Prudential Center.
Seton Hall is 8-1 at The Rock this season and 152-68 all-time.
Against BIG EAST competition, the Pirates are 71-57 all-time at the Prudential Center and 1-1 this season.
Wednesday marks The Hall's first game at the Prudential Center since Jan. 8, a 90-87 overtime victory over Connecticut.
The Pirates are looking to avoid going three games under .500 in the BIG EAST since starting 3-6 in 2016-17.
That season, Seton Hall finished 10-8 in the conference, advanced to the semifinals of the BIG EAST Tournament and went to its second of four consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
The win over St. John's on Jan. 22 at Madison Square Garden marked the ninth time this season that The Hall held its opponent to 65 points or less.
Outside of Monday's defeat to the Red Storm at Walsh Gymnasium, Seton Hall's four losses in conference play came by a combined 16 points and its average margin of defeat was four points.
Two of those defeats came without two critical interior pieces (7-2 graduate student Ike Obiagu and 6-10 junior Tyrese Samuel) against two ranked BIG EAST opponents.
Seton Hall is 4-5 this season against Q1 and Q2 competition.
This is the first season in program history where the Pirates defeated two top 10 non-conference opponents in the regular season.
The Hall is one of only five programs in the country with multiple wins over top 10 teams this season (Baylor, Duke, Gonzaga, Oregon).
The Pirates are the only team in college basketball that secured a true top five road win in the non-conference (at No. 4 Michigan, 67-65).
The Pirates rank second in the BIG EAST in three-point FG percentage defense (30.9 percent) and 25th in the country in total rebounds per game (40.28).
Seton Hall is ranked in the top 70 in KenPom in both adjusted offensive efficiency (67th) and adjusted defensive efficiency (48th).
KenPom currently ranks Seton Hall's schedule as the 13th toughest in the country.
Seton Hall is currently 36th in the NET and 35th in KenPom.
The Pirates are 106-19 (.848) since 2016-17 when they attempt more free throws than their opponent.

Under Kevin Willard, the Pirates are 88-10 (.898) when they score 80 points or more.
Ike Obiagu has registered a block in 27 consecutive games going back to last season, the longest active streak in the country, and is averaging 5.0 blocks and 8.5 rebounds over the last three games.
Obiagu is two blocks away from tying Samuel Dalembert's program record of 167 career blocked shots.
Graduate student Bryce Aiken (Randolph, N.J.) has been a force in closing out games this season with 72 total points in the final five minutes of regulation and overtime through 15 games played (4.8 ppg).
Graduate student Alexis Yetna (Paris, France) is averaging a double-double in BIG EAST play with 11.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.
