Seton Hall is among a power group of schools in the AdvoCare Invitational this season that features five programs that advanced to postseason play in 2015-16, including the BIG EAST champion Pirates, three NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen participants in Gonzaga, Iowa State and Miami, and NIT quarterfinalist Florida.
Among those five 2015-16 postseason teams, the average win total last year was 24.8, the average RPI ranking was 26.4 and the average Kenpom rating was 22.
The matchup with Florida will mark the first contest between these two teams since 1987.

The Hall is also slated to face SEC foe South Carolina in the Under Armour Reunion at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 12.
