No. 2 – Seton Hall

After a 10-year drought from the NCAA Tournament from 2005 to 2015, head coach Kevin Willard has now participated in the Madness for 4 straight seasons. Although his team has only managed to win a game in one of those four years, this year’s squad has a chance to do that and much more. With all five starters from last year’s squad returning, including leading scorer and Wooden Award nominee Myles Powell, the Hall have a legitimate chance to be one of the most successful squads in the school’s 124-year history.

That is if coach Willard can put together something that resembles an offense. Ranking as the 2nd least watchable team behind my good friend Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse Orange, Willard’s offense looked no better than your average YMCA pickup game. The Hall ranked in the bottom amongst the bottom 120 in Effective Field Goal Percentage and Percent of Points from 3 and failed to even crack the top half in the nation in the other 3 Watchability stats.

The squad showed zero semblance of teamwork, and Myles Powell played the role of the guy in a pickup game who thinks the only way his team can win is if he takes every shot (ranked 2nd behind the other ball hog, Markus Howard, in the Big East in usage percentage). With the rare occasion of having all five starters return from a very successful team a season prior, Coach Willard has a chance to produce a watchable offense. But if he can’t reel in Myles Powell and get his squad to play together to create better shots than contested-fadeaway 3s from Powell, they will be one of the most unwatchable teams in the country.
