Pirates Talk

As the Big East begins the final month of the regular season, Adam Zagoria joins the pod to talk about the stretch run, what's happening at Seton Hall, and one of the surprises on the college basketball scene.

Seton Hall hit gold in the transfer portal. Faith Masonius has helped propel the Pirates to the upper echelon of the Big East as Seton Hall looks to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016. She's my guest on this week's show.

Seton Hall head coach Tony Bozzella's team is off to a 5-2 start behind returning stars Savannah Catalon and Amari Wright, plus Maryland transfer Faith Masonius. Tony touches upon what's gone right, what needs improvement and what lies ahead, including a matchup against nationally-ranked LSU in less than two weeks

Jaden Daly, founder and editor of the Daly Dose of Hoops website, joins me this week for a conversation on Seton Hall basketball. The Hall is coming off a good performance in the Charleston Classic. Is this the start of something big? Or is there still much to know? Find out on this week's podcast.

Off to a 2-2 start with close losses to seemingly beatable teams, the urgency is now for Seton Hall as they prepare to face VCU in the opening round of the Charleston Classic. Jerry Carino, NJ's dean of college hoops writers, joins me to discuss what has gone wrong, what has gone right, and how the Pirates must find some offense if they are going to be competitive in the Big East.

As Seton Hall prepares to open its season on Monday against St. Peter's, you'll hear from Head Coach Shaheen Holloway and returning players Isaiah Coleman and Dylan Addae-Wusu who talk about the Pirates' hopes for this season and whether they can prove their detractors wrong.

Dave Popkin is the guest this week. In the aftermath of Seton Hall being snubbed by the NCAA Basketball Committee, we talk about the whys and how comes, and discuss what to expect as the Pirates begin play in the NIT as the number one seed.

Adam Zagoria of nj.com joins me for a postmortem following Seton Hall's loss to Saint John's in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals. What happened and why? Where do the Pirates go from here?

What does Jerry Carino think about tomorrow's Seton Hall game against St. John's in the Big East Tournament? The dean of college basketball writers is my guest on this week's show. You'll also hear of an initiative of Onward Setonia honoring Dan Gioseffi, a great friend of The Hall, and the man behind PirateCrew on Rivals.com as Onward Setonia continues to develop NIL initiatives for Seton Hall student-athletes.

Noted bracketologist Brad Wachtel joins the show to discuss where Seton Hall sits in the NCAA Tournament bid picture. Are the Pirates a bubble team? Are they in? Is there a margin for error? Brad explains why a team that is in third place in the Big East and has wins over nationally-ranked opponents needs to perform down the stretch.
