Are The Seton Hall Pirates Really as Good as Their Record?

Seton Hall starts of the season with a perfect 8-0 record. But are they as good as their record says? Seton Hall hasn't started off perfect since the 88-89 season which they went all the way to the National Championship game before losing a heart-breaker to Michigan.

Seton Hall has a weak non-conference schedule to start the season. Playing games against weaker opponents. Seton Halls toughest challenges have came on the road to Monmouth, Cornell and a struggle at home against St.Peter's.

At this point you can't really judge Seton Hall based on their record.

However, later on in the season you will be able to tell just how good the Pirates really are. The Pirates have seven Top 25 opponents left on their schedule and look to prove doubters wrong.

Seton Hall has a strong experienced team returning 8 players from last years team that was two games above 500. In addition Bobby Gonzalez acquired Ferrakohn Hall a high energy freshman from Memphis that knows the game of basketball.

Seton Hall's leading scorer is Jeremy Hazell. Jeremy Hazell is no doubt the key to Seton Hall's success. Jeremy has two 30 + games and six 20 + games this season through the first eight games. Also you have Herb Pope who leads the Pirates in rebounds with 12.8 a game.

So far Seton Hall has been nothing but impressive. Breaking a school record with 134 points in their last game against Virginia Military. Seton Hall is predicted to make the NCAA tournament this year. With the improvement of their team I believe they will make it there and become one of the top four in the league.
