This upcoming Friday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide are likely faced with their toughest test yet as the Seton Hall Pirates make the trip to Coleman Coliseum.
An opponent out of the Big East, the Pirates are off to an undefeated start to the 2026-27 season under head coach Shaheen Holloway. Seton Hall currently sits at a perfect 3-0 with wins over Saint Peter’s, Long Island, and Charlotte, the latter of which came on a neutral court.

Stats-wise, the Pirates currently rank No. 14 nationally in points allowed per game at only 54.7 to opponents, but the offense is a near complete opposite. The Pirates average 67 points per game, a total which ranks among the bottom of college basketball.
