He will play the sweetheart of last year’s tournament, Shaheen Holloway, who made a deep run with Saint Peter’s.

The two programs have played on three other occasions, all on a neutral court. Seton Hall will make the trip to Allen Fieldhouse for the first time in early December.

The Bluejays are projected to be near the top of every preseason poll while the Longhorns return some of their top players from last season.
