NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Seton Hall men's basketball team opens its 2025-26 season at Prudential Center against Saint Peter's.
This marks the third consecutive season opener in which the Pirates and Peacocks square off.
The last time Seton Hall played the same opponent in three consecutive season openers was from 1955-57 against the University of Toronto.
Head coach Shaheen Holloway is 4-2 all-time in season openers and 5-1 in home openers.
Seton Hall has won its last 16 home openers.
The Pirates are 91-15 (.858) all-time against non-conference opponents at Prudential Center.
Holloway is 19-12 all-time against Garden State foes.

Last season was an outlier in terms of Holloway's performances in conference play, finishing below .500 in league games for just the second time in seven seasons as a head coach.
Holloway's first two seasons at Seton Hall were the winningest in program history in terms of both overall and BIG EAST wins.
