Seton Hall’s resume is defined by a handful of eye‑catching neutral‑site moments — a win over NC State, a narrow loss to USC and a solid showing against Washington State — and by a stingy defense that keeps them competitive in tough environments. Those positives are diluted by a long list of victories over low‑level nonconference opponents that do little to move the needle and by a lack of signature road wins against established powers. The remainder of the schedule presents multiple clear opportunities to change that narrative, from a road trip to Kansas State to league tests at Providence and Marquette and marquee home dates with Villanova and Creighton, while any further slipups, including trouble at DePaul or on the road at Villanova and Connecticut, would reinforce the middling résumé. In short, the defense and the neutral‑site quality wins have kept them in the conversation, but a few big wins in hostile places are still needed to remove doubt.
