Pirates Talk

Dana O'Neil, senior writer for The Athletic, is my guest on the latest "Pirates Talk". We spoke earlier in the week before Creighton's big win over UConn about the final month of the Big East, Seton Hall's NCAA Tournament bid chances, the national college hoops scene and more.

I'm pleased to be joined by Seton Hall guard Al-Amir Dawes, the senior guard from Newark, NJ, who is second on the team in scoring, leads the team in three-point field goals and is fifth in the nation in free throw percentage. He's a big reason why The Hall is the surprise team in the Big East Conference with a very good chance of making the NCAA Tournament.

Adam Zagoria is my guest on the latest "Pirates Talk" presented by JAG Physical Therapy. How good is The Hall? How will they fare in their next game against Providence? The rise of Kadary Richmond. Those topics and more are discussed on this week's show.

Another game, another win for the Seton Hall men's basketball team, the surprise team of the Big East and possibly the country. Longtime radio analyst Dave Popkin joins me to discuss the Pirates fortunes, the recent win over St. John's and a look ahead to Saturday's matchup with Creighton.

Seton Hall assistant basketball coach Ryan Whalen is my guest this week as he talks about working with Shaheen Holloway, the outlook the rest of the way for the Pirates, NCAA Tournament hopes and much more. Plus you'll hear from Kadary RIchmond, Al-Amir Dawes and Holloway following Saturday's win over Marquette.

Seton Hall women's basketball coach Tony Bozzella is my guest this week. His team is off to a 9-4 start, 1-1 in the Big East as we begin 2024. The Pirates lost three stars off last year's team but, with a mix of returnees and transfers, should be in the thick of things in the conference with a chance to return to the NCAA Tournament.

Former Pirate great John Morton joins me to talk about his Hall-of-Fame career which includes a run to the NCAA men's basketball championship game in 1989 which ended in controversy and heartache for Seton Hall. We'll also catch up on what he's doing now. Plus we'll hear from Shaheen Holloway on the Pirates win last night over UConn.

FS1 play-by-play announcer John Fanta previews the Garden State Hardwood Classic matchup between Seton Hall and Rutgers. Each team is desperate to find the winning touch. Saturday's game will be the tonic for one of them.

As Seton Hall celebrates 50 years of women's athletics, my special guest is Sue Regan, the first women's basketball coach in school history, and a member of the university's Hall-of-Fame. She shares memories of the program's start up, the joy she feels today watching the university's women's athletics success, and more.

Jerry Carino, the dean of New Jersey college basketball writers, joins me to discuss Seton Hall's 4-0 start, its upcoming Feast Week Tournament in San Diego, the early surprises, and more.
