Seton Hall is 13-18 all-time against Saint Joseph's with the last meeting coming in the Charleston Classic, a 78-70 Pirates victory on Nov. 18, 2011.
Seton Hall assistant coach Ryan Whalen is a 2009 graduate of Saint Joseph's where he played two seasons of junior varsity basketball before serving as a student assistant coach under Phil Martelli.
Saint Joseph's last visit to Walsh Gym came on Feb. 21, 1970 when the Hawks defeated head coach Richie Regan and the Pirates, 86-77.
The Pirates are 429-143 all-time inside Walsh Gym and have won 30 of their last 31 games against non-conference opponents dating back to 1989.
The Hall has won 28 of its last 29 regular season games in Walsh with its last loss coming against St. John's on January 24, 2022 in a rare BIG EAST game that was held on campus.
Seton Hall has only played two NIT games inside historic Walsh Gymnasium and it happened in 2011-12 when the Pirates defeated Stony Brook, 63-61, before falling to UMass, 77-67.
Prior to their loss to the Minutemen in the NIT, the Pirates last defeat to a non-conference opponent in Walsh Gym was against Fordham on Dec. 16, 1989 (65-60).
Seton Hall has played in a national postseason tournament in seven of the last eight seasons (five NCAA, two NIT).
The Pirates are 8-19 all-time in NIT games and won the NIT championship in 1953.
Picked to finish ninth out of 11 teams in the BIG EAST preseason poll, head coach Shaheen Holloway led the Pirates to a fourth place finish and a 13-7 record in league play, tied for the second-most BIG EAST wins in program history.
Already the program's leader for BIG EAST wins and overall victories through two seasons, Holloway is the first Seton Hall head coach to lead the Pirates to postseason appearances in each of his first two seasons.
Kadary Richmond, who's one of two players in the BIG EAST (Devin Carter, PC) to rank in the top 11 in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals in league play, is one of 40 players named on the Oscar Robertson Trophy and All-America Watch List.
Richmond is tied for second in Division I with eight 20 point, 5 assist, 5 rebound games this season.
Richmond is one of six Pirates all-time (Terry Dehere, Shaheen Holloway, Andre Barrett, Khadeen Carrington, Myles Powell) to score 1,000 points, collect 400 rebounds and tally 300 assists in a career.
Dre Davis averaged 16.2 points per game and shot 52 percent from the floor and 86 percent from the free-throw line in BIG EAST play, becoming the first BIG EAST player to average 16 pts, shoot 50% FG and 80% FT in league since Mikal Bridges for Villanova in 2017-18.
Jaden Bediako ranks second in the BIG EAST and 11th in Division I averaging 3.8 offensive rebounds per game.
After having 19 double-digit scoring games over four years at Santa Clara, Bediako has scored in double-figures 15 times this season.
The Pirates are 16-6 this season when Al-Amir Dawes scores in double figures and 7-3 when he's the team's leading scorer.
In just two seasons in South Orange, Dawes ranks 14th in school history with 150 made three-pointers.
Dylan Addae-Wusu scored his 1,000th career point on March 9 against DePaul, giving Seton Hall four 1,000 point scorers in its starting five (Richmond, Davis, Dawes).
