The Seton Hall Pirates come into action on Saturday looking to make a push towards relevancy in NCAA Tournament talk. The Pirates are just 12-9 on the season and need to start bunching together wins if they have hope of earning a bid in March. Last Saturday, Seton Hall's tournament chances took another hit in a home loss to #20 Marquette, 74-53. The Pirates turned the ball over a whopping 26 times in the loss while allowing Marquette to shoot 53% from the floor. Kadary Richmond was the only Pirate in double digits with 10 points to go along with five assists.
