NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW

With a victory, Seton Hall have its best 14-game start to a season since 1992-93 (started 13-1).
The Pirates are attempting to win their first two road games in conference play for the first time since 2020-21.
Seton Hall is looking to snap a four-game losing streak at Fiserv Forum.
The last time the Pirates reached the New Year with only two losses was 2021-22. The last three occurrences have all resulted in NCAA Tournament berths (2015-16 and 2017-18).
Seton Hall has recorded at least seven steals in every game this season.
The Pirates opened the year with a six-game winning streak, the team's longest streak under Shaheen Holloway. The last time The Hall won six straight was Feb. 19-March 9, 2022.
Stephon Payne racked up the accolades last week after his 18-point, 16-rebound performance at Providence on Dec. 19.
Payne brought home BIG EAST Player of the Week honors and was also named one of the USBWA National Players of the Week.
Payne also received the MET Basketball Writers Player of the Week honor.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY

Josh Rivera scored a season-high 10 points but the Pirates fell in their BIG EAST home opener, 64-56, to Villanova last Tuesday.
The Pirates opened BIG EAST play with a 72-67 victory over Providence on Friday night in Rhode Island.
Stephon Payne put on a show with 18 points and 16 rebounds, while Tajuan Simpkins poured in a career-high 22 points.
Simpkins nailed what proved to be the game-winning three-pointer with just over one minute remaining to put The Hall ahead for good.
Seton Hall reclaimed the Boardwalk Trophy on Saturday by defeating in-state rivals Rutgers, 81-59, in the Garden State Hardwood Classic.
Budd Clark was named the Joe Calabrese MVP of the game, finishing with 16 points, seven assists, four steals and just one turnover.
Clark was also named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for his efforts.
Three of Clark's steals came within the first two minutes of the game, and 14 of his 16 points came after halftime.
The Pirates grabbed a signature road win on Dec. 6, downing Kansas State, 78-67, for their first win over a Big 12 foe since downing Texas, 64-60, on Dec. 7, 2021.
The Longhorns were ranked No. 7 in that game, which served as Seton Hall's last non-conference ranked win before it defeated No. 23 NC State at last week's Southwest Maui Invitational.
Picked to finish last in the BIG EAST before the season, the Pirates have already surpassed last year's win total and have scored double-digit signature wins over No. 23 NC State in Maui as well as on the road at Kansas State.
Budd Clark secured his first double-double of the season against CCSU on Dec. 3, dishing out a career-high matching 12 assists to pair with 10 points.
Five different Pirates made multiple three-pointers in the win over CCSU, a first since Feb. 14, 2012 against St. John's.
