The United States of College Basketball

Top program in each state

New Jersey: Seton Hall Pirates

Outlook: Going to be painfully blunt here: New Jersey and its college basketball situation is in much worse shape than it has any business being, especially given the talent the state produces. Seton Hall was our pick, and we made it with our eyes closed. Princeton isn't on the precipice of an Ivy overthrow; Rutgers is outclassed in a major way in Big Ten hoops; NJIT finally just joined a league; St. Peter's, Fairleigh Dickinson, Rider and Monmouth don't have the pedigree to be atop the Garden State pedestal. So we go with Seton Hall, which could realistically fire its head coach come March.

Painfully accurate! Sadly NJIT is the only program on the rise...

There are several states in which there is only one or two viable programs in the entire state.

True, NJ basketball is a bit in the shitter.

I'll take the free press. Better to have the SHU logo on there than NJIT or Rutgers.

It's true though... For the immense talent in this state... It's sad we can't produce one quality program

Pretty sad commentary on the state of SH & NJ bball. I would expect SH to be the top program in NJ year in year out. Anything else, is unacceptable.

Syracuse is NY's team and Seton Hall is Jersey's. St. John's & Rutgers not considered
