Kevin and Tom continue with their 2026-27 team preview series by taking a look at the Seton Hall Pirates!

Following a 21-win season and a fourth-place finish in the Big East, Shaheen Holloway faces the challenge of replacing a significant portion of last year's production while building around a revamped roster.

The guys break down the Pirates' offseason additions, the new-look backcourt, Devin Williams' presence in the paint, and the identity Holloway is looking to establish in Year 5. Seton Hall has emphasized shooting and perimeter depth while maintaining the defensive intensity that has become synonymous with Holloway's program.

Can the Pirates turn another major roster overhaul into another successful season? We take a look at what to expect from Seton Hall in 2026-27, including the key players, questions, and matchups that could define their season.

In Episode 6 of the Big East Film Room Podcast, Kevin Farrahar and Tom Harkness turn their attention to Butler and first-year head coach Ronald Nored.

A former Butler point guard who played in two national championship games, Nored returns to Indianapolis after a decade as an NBA assistant — but can he translate that experience into a turnaround at his alma mater?

We break down Butler’s revamped roster, the return of Jalen Jackson and Drayton Jones, the scoring potential of Jordan Ellerbee, Samu Adler and Eduardo Klafke, and the biggest questions facing a Bulldogs frontcourt that will need some new pieces to step up.

Can Nored get Butler back into the NCAA Tournament conversation, or is this another transitionary year for the Bulldogs?
