Here are some notes about the 2022-23 schedule:
- The Pirates will play all 10 BIG EAST teams in a 20-game, double round-robin format. This 20-game format has been in place since 2020-21, however, the Pirates have yet to play a full 20-game conference schedule due to cancelations.
- Seton Hall will begin its conference schedule at home against Providence on Dec. 17. The Pirates' first BIG EAST game last season was against the Friars but in Providence. This will be the first time the Pirates open at home against the Friars since the 2000-01 season. It also marks the fourth time in the last six seasons that The Hall's conference opener is at home.
- The Hall's first conference road games is at Xavier on Dec. 20, and the Pirates have won four straight at Cintas Center. They have not won five consecutive road games against a BIG EAST opponent since beating Rutgers five straight in Piscataway from 2008-12.
- Seton Hall will host St. John's on Dec. 31 for the third time since 2014, and the Pirates won each of the first two New Year's Eve battles in 2014 and 2017. It is the seventh time that the program will play a home BIG EAST game on either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
- Five of Seton Hall's home BIG EAST games fall on a Saturday or Sunday, including each of the first three. The Pirates will host Providence, St. John's, Butler and Marquette on a Saturday and host DePaul on a Sunday. For fans who consider Friday to be a weekend game, Xavier visits Prudential Center on a Friday.
- In what has become the premier rivalry in the BIG EAST, Seton Hall and Villanova will clash twice over The Hall's final six games. The Pirates will play Villanova at Wells Fargo Center for the fifth time in the last six years.
- Seton Hall's final conference game of the year is on the road for the eighth time in the last 10 years and at Providence for the first time since 2009-10.
- The BIG EAST Tournament Presented by Jeep will be played in Madison Square Garden for the 41st consecutive year. Won by the Pirates three times, most recently in 2016, it is the longest running postseason championship in college basketball at the same venue.
