Pirates picked seventh in the BIG EAST preseason poll
NEW YORK - Seton Hall men's basketball junior guard Kadary Richmond (Brooklyn, N.Y.) has been named to the BIG EAST Preseason All-Conference Second Team, the BIG EAST Conference announced at its annual media day on Tuesday.
The preseason order of finish, according to a coaches vote, was also unveiled Tuesday, and the Pirates have been picked to finish seventh. The last time The Hall was slotted seventh in the preseason poll was 2015-16. The Pirates would go on to win the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden in March of that season.
A long, rangy point guard, Richmond is coming off of a solid sophomore campaign in his first season with the Pirates where he averaged 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game. He finished fourth in the conference in assists per contest and fifth in steals. Richmond battled through injuries during conference play and helped lead the Pirates to their fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six contested.
Richmond posted one of the top single-game performances in the BIG EAST last season when he dropped a career-high 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field in a 90-87 victory over Connecticut on Jan. 8 at Prudential Center. 25 of Richmond's 27 points were scored in the second half, including a stretch where he alone outscored the Huskies, 17-7.
Led by head coach Shaheen Holloway '00, who returned to his alma mater in March after leading Saint Peter's to the 2022 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, Seton Hall boasts a wealth of experience on the roster with five returning Pirates from last season and five transfers that combine for 13 years of Div. I basketball experience. In total, this veteran Seton Hall team has appeared in 775 career collegiate games and combined for 6,019 points, 2,971 rebounds and 1,072 assists.
The Pirates, which have finished in the top half of the BIG EAST standings in each of the last seven seasons, are coming off a fifth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six contested.
