Jeremy Hazell "90%" likely to play tonight

According to NJ.com's Brendan Prunty, there is a "90%" chance that Jeremy Hazell suits up for Seton Hall tonight when the Pirates head to Chicago to take on DePaul.

Obviously, this is a great story -- Hazell has undergone surgery on a broke wrist and been shot in the past month -- but that's another post for another time.

Keep an eye on this move if you are a Big East fan. There were rumblings that Hazell was going to be out for the season and that the Seton Hall staff was going to redshirt him. The Pirates have struggled offensively this year and Hazell is one of the most potent scorers in the country. He also showed an improvement in his shot selection in the three games he played earlier in the season. For those unfamiliar, shot selection was the biggest reason that Hazell wasn't ranked among the elite players in the Big East despite being a 22.3 ppg scorer as a junior.

With Hazell back in the fold, this Seton Hall team will be back to full strength. Could they make a run at the tournament in Big East play?
