NEW YORK / IRVING (April 25, 2024) -- Seton Hall will host Oklahoma State on Dec. 8 at Prudential Center in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle, the conference offices announced Thursday.

The lone meeting in the all-time series between the two programs came in the Sweet 16 round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament in Syracuse, N.Y. where the Cowboys edged the Pirates, 68-66, ending a miraculous and memorable run to the tournament's second weekend. This will be The Hall's first home game in the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle since 2021-22. The Pirates had visited Big 12 foes Kansas and Baylor the last two seasons.

The Battle matchups are jointly determined by the two conferences, with the home team choosing the venue of its game. Broadcast arrangements for the contests will be determined by the national television rights holder of the home team, which is FOX Sports for the BIG EAST and ESPN for the Big 12.

Game times and television networks will be announced when available.

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Seton Hall women's basketball head coach Anthony Bozzella announced today that Savanna Jones (Eden Prairie, Minn.) has officially signed a national letter of intent to attend the University and play for the program beginning this fall.

"I'm really excited that Savanna has decided to join our family," Bozzella said. "Her ability to catch and shoot, as well as defend the basket will fit in perfectly in our system."

A 6-foot-1 forward, Jones transferred from junior college, North Dakota State College of Science where she averaged 13.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in 35 games played. Named to the Mon-Dak All-Conference First Team, Jones helped lead her team to a 28-7 record and the Region 13 Championship last season.

Prior to college, Jones was a four-year standout at Eden Prairie High School, where she was named a team captain. A two-time All-Conference selection, she helped her team to a total of 78 wins over four years and two sectional titles.

Pirate Blue Fund

Some of what I read indicated at the website that I could specify I want the donation to go to a specific sport like men's hoops. However in navigating the web page Pirate Blue there is no option in the online drop downs to designate a specific sport.

Am I missing something?

Should I just send a check with a letter indicating my wishes and hope it goes to the right place?

I just sent in my annual donation to SHU with a extra money requesting that a part of it go to Pirate Blue and NIL but I just got a call that they can't split the check.

So I want to send in a separate donation.

RIP Mike Cocco

Today is a sad day for those close to the Seton Hall baseball program as the news broke that Mike Cocco passed away.

Those of us who were in school in the mid-80's know and remember Cocco as the manager of the baseball team. Cocco kept the scorebook and was involved in many aspects of the program under Coach Sheppard.

A prep grad, Cocco was Seton Hall through and through and a great guy.

My condolences to his wife Beth and his children Michael and Molly.

Rest in peace, my friend.
