Following the game, news broke that Peacockβs head coach Shaheen Holloway is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach at Seton Hall.
From 247 Sports:
Seton Hall expected to finalize a deal with Saint Peterβs Shaheen Holloway as its head menβs basketball coach, according to Jerry Carino, who reported the news Sunday evening moments after the Peacocksβ Cinderella run in the NCAA Tournament came to an end in the Elite Eight against North Carolina. Holloway, 45, was a star point guard for the Pirates (1996-00) and most recently an assistant coach (2010-18) with the program under former head coach Kevin Willard. Maryland hired Willard (2010-22) away from SHU March 21.
After Sundayβs loss to North Carolina, Holloway declined to comment on Seton Hall job opening.
βIβm not worried about that. Iβm worried about those 15 young men whose heart is broken, Holloway said.
