From PFB:
It would be just the second time OSU has played the Pirates, with the other instance coming in the 2000 Sweet 16. OSU won that game 68-66.
Seton Hall went 25-12 this past season, the program’s second under Shaheen Holloway. That wasn’t enough to get the Pirates into the NCAA Tournament, but they did end up winning the NIT.
The Big East-Big 12 Battle has happened annually since 2019. OSU is just 1-4 in the event.
2019: vs. Georgetown — L, 81-74
2020: at Marquette — W, 70-62
2021: vs. Xavier — L, 77-71
2022: at UConn — L, 74-64
2023: vs. Creighton — L, 79-65
It’s been a tight conference-vs-conference affair, though, as the Big 12 won one year, the Big East won one year and the conferences have tied the other three times.
