South Orange, N.J. – The Seton Hall men's basketball team is slated to play an 11-game non-conference schedule in 2022-23 with five games taking place inside Prudential Center, the program announced Thursday. The Pirates will look to continue their dominance at Prudential Center against non-league opponents where they went 6-0 last season and are 80-11 (.879) all-time.
The 20-game BIG EAST Conference schedule, which will include 10 home dates in Newark, as well as game times and television assignments are still to be determined.
Season tickets start at $195 and it represents the best possible value to watch the Pirates in 2022-23. Season ticket holders get the best seats, receive access to exclusive events and access to BIG EAST Tournament tickets. If interested, please fill out the season tickets interest form.
Student season tickets are currently on sale for active Seton Hall University students.
Seton Hall will once again challenge itself in the non-conference with a strong set of games that will prepare itself for the rigors of BIG EAST play. The Pirates' non-conference opponents combined for five NCAA Tournament appearances last season and features two teams that advanced past the first weekend.
The season will commence with back-to-back games at Prudential Center against New Jersey opponents. On Wednesday, Nov. 9, the Pirates will tip off the season and the Shaheen Holloway Era against Monmouth. Three days later on Saturday, Nov. 12, the Pirates will host Saint Peter's as Holloway will face the program that he built into MAAC champions and the Elite Eight participants over the course of four seasons. Seton Hall is a combined 77-24 all-time against the two schools and is 11-2 against New Jersey programs since 2015-16.
Seton Hall will welcome Iowa to Newark for a Gavitt Tipoff Games contest on Wednesday, Nov. 16. The Pirates, who are 3-2 all-time against Big Ten programs in the Gavitt Games including last season's 67-65 at No. 4 Michigan, will be facing the Hawkeyes for just the third time with the most recent meeting being a 91-83 win for The Hall at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Nov. 17, 2016. Similar to that matchup, the Pirates and the Hawkeyes are both coming off of NCAA Tournament appearances. Iowa was last year's Big Ten Tournament champions.
Following a home contest on Sunday, Nov. 20 against Wagner, marking the return of Pirate great Donald Copeland as head coach of the Seahawks, the Pirates will head to Orlando for the ESPN Events Invitational that will run from Thursday, Nov. 24 through Sunday, Nov. 27. Seton Hall will open with Memphis on Thanksgiving Day at 7:30 p.m. and will face either Nebraska or Oklahoma in its second game. Seton Hall is 15-6 in its last 21 early-season, multi-team event games, including championship runs at the 2014 Paradise Jam Tournament and the 2018 Wooden Legacy Tournament. The Pirates last competed at the ESPN Events Invitational in 2016-17.
After the ESPN Events Invitational, the Pirates will travel to Lawrence, Kan. to face the defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks on Thursday, Dec. 1 in a Big 12-BIG EAST Battle matchup. The Hall is 1-2 all-time against the Jayhawks with its lone victory coming in the 1988 Great Alaskan Shootout. The last meeting was in the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament when the Pirates went toe-to-toe with the top-seeded Jayhawks in an 83-79 defeat in Wichita, Kan.
Following a Dec. 7 meeting against Lincoln University inside historic Walsh Gymnasium, the Pirates will travel down the New Jersey Turnpike to face Rutgers in the Garden State Hardwood Classic on Sunday, Dec. 11. Seton Hall, which leads the all-time series 41-31, reclaimed the Garden State Hardwood Classic trophy last season and will look to avenge its loss in its last trip to Piscataway back in 2019.
The Pirates conclude the non-conference schedule against 2021 CAA Champions Drexel on Wednesday, Dec. 14 at Prudential Center.
