Sports

Men's

Basketball

The university first sponsored men's basketball in 1903. The program won the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in 1953 and lost in the final of the 1989 NCAA Tournament to Michigan, 80–79 in overtime.

Former programs

Football

Seton Hall first fielded a football team in 1882, with an initial success that was interrupted in 1906 when the university decided to drop the program. After a brief comeback in 1913, the sport would be prohibited the following year. It was not until 1922 when football was reissued by the university, with a 30-0 victory over Cooper Union. The Pirates became an official NCAA team in 1973.

The sport's second stint at the school came in Division III. After several years of poor success, football was dropped in 1982.

Wrestling

The sport of wrestling was sponsored by the school until 2001 when the school decided to drop varsity sponsorship for financial purposes.
