Nate Oats' squad ranks fifth in KenPom.com's adjusted offensive efficiency after finishing among the top five in the country each of the past three seasons. They're starting a home-and-home with Seton Hall (3-0), with the return game slated for next year in New Jersey, and Friday marks the first time this season either team has faced a power-conference opponent.
