Seton Hall’s men’s basketball team is lighting up the academic scene as well as the hardwood, earning the prestigious NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for the 2025-26 season — one of only three BIG EAST teams to do so. With a team GPA above 3.0, they’re proving excellence isn’t just about wins. Three players — Jacob Dar, David Gabriel (a repeat honoree), and Patrick Suemnick — made the NABC Honors Court, each boasting a 3.2+ GPA and senior-level status. Under Coach Shaheen Holloway, this is the fourth time Seton Hall has snagged the team award, and 17 student-athletes have earned individual honors — a clear sign that academics and athletics thrive together here. The Pirates are showing that smart play on the court and smart work in the classroom go hand in hand.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Seton Hall just added a European spark to their backcourt with the signing of Serbian guard Mihailo Petrovic, who’s set to join the Pirates in time for the 2026-27 season. A former Illinois standout with international experience and Adriatic League stats to back it up, Petrovic brings elite playmaking and depth to a crowded guard room — and with two years of eligibility left, he’s poised to be a key piece in Holloway’s long-term plans.
