Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

The Pirates (4-1) have a shorter travel time to get to the tournament, and despite a 76-73 loss to No. 3 Michigan State on Nov. 14, Seton Hall has crushed every other team it has faced, winning by at least 17 points.

Seton Hall tuned up for its trip to The Bahamas with an 87-51 win over Florida A&M on Saturday. Myles Powell led the way with 23 points, his fourth game with at least 20 points this season. Powell, a senior guard, leads Seton Hall in scoring with an average of 22.6 points per game. Sophomore forward Jared Rhoden posted his first career double-double, finishing Saturday with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Pirates coach Kevin Willard expressed some displeasure at the scheduling for his team at the Battle 4 Atlantis. The winner of Wednesday night's game goes from a 9:30 p.m. ET tipoff to a 4 p.m. start the following day against the winner of Gonzaga and Southern Mississippi.

"I don't think it's very good for having the elite teams that are in this tournament. I don't know how you can play a 9:30 game and then come back and play a 4:00 game, it just doesn't make any sense," Willard told the Asbury Park Press.

"I know why it's done, but it makes it very hard to win, to be honest with you. ... You lose a 4:00 game and the NCAA Selection Committee just sees a loss, they don't see the fact that you got done at 1 in the morning and you had to turn around and play at 4. So from that standpoint, I think it's idiotic."
