Seton Hall will provide another tough test for Iowa early in the season. The Pirates have won 20-plus games in six of their last seven seasons and made the NCAA Tournament in five of those years. Seton Hall is led by first-year coach Shaheen Holloway, who coached No. 15 seed St. Peter's to the Elite Eight in this past year's NCAA Tournament.
