Big East Tournament 2012. Within the first evening session bet on the Large East Tournament's first round, the 2012 NCAA Tournament desires the tenth-seeded Seton Hall Pirates (19-11, 8-10 Large East) may lie within the balance because the Pirates face a likely must-win game from the No. 15-seeded Providence Friars (15-16, 4-14 Large East).
Big East Tournament 2012
The Pirates appeared to become headed to the Large Dance the very first time in six years before suffering a sensational blowout loss to conference cellar-occupant DePaul within their regular season finale. It had been a defeat that left Seton Hall mind coach Kevin Willard both knowing his team's back is from the wall and estimating Keanu Reeves."I made use of the example in the movie ‘The Substitutes,' " Willard stated Monday morning. "It feels as though we are in quicksand. We are fighting and fighting and fighting and fighting. It isn't like we did not emerge ready. We are fighting also it appears such as the more things we attempted to complete -- the greater we attempted to battle -- the greater we've got stuck. And that we began sinking."
To be able to get themselves unstuck, Seton Hall must first dispatch a Providence team they defeated 66-57 long ago on Jan. 7. Sophomore Fuquan Edwin obtained a then-career-high 24 points (he'd exceed that total under not much later inside a conquer DePaul) and snapped up nine rebounds to assist set aside the Friars. Edwin (12.6 ppg), together with teammates Plant Pope (15.3 ppg) and Jordan Theodore (16 ppg), is just one of three Pirates who makes its way into the postseason calculating double figures.
Providence has four gamers presently calculating a minimum of 10 points per game, brought by junior guard Vincent Council's 16.2 points. Sophomore guard Bryce Cotton earnings 14.4 ppg and newcomer forward LaDontae Henton chips in 14.3. Sophomore guard Gerard Coleman is 4th at 13.5 ppg. The champion will face no. 7-seeded Louisville Cardinals on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. ET.
