The university first sponsored men's basketball in 1903.[11] The program won the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in 1953[12] and lost in the final of the 1989 NCAA Tournament to Michigan, 80–79 in overtime.[13]
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.[6]
The sport's second stint at the school came in Division III. After several years of poor success, football was dropped in 1982.[14][7][6]
The sport of wrestling was sponsored by the school until 2001 when the school decided to drop varsity sponsorship for financial purposes.[15]
