How unprecedented is Seton Hall's six-game road winning streak? To find a Pirates road winning streak that long, you'd have to go all the way back to 1955-56, when the Pirates actually went undefeated in true road games with a 7-0 record. The opponents back then?

Yup, 64 years ago the Pirates also won at Villanova.

So coming off a home loss, the Pirates are back to being away from home for Saturday night's contest against Providence, and while the road's been kind to The Hall the last few weeks, no winning streak is safe when you're playing in a hostile environment. The Pirates must remain poised and limit mistakes while trying to take the crowd out of the equation.

Saturday's matchup is live on CBS Sports Network with Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas and Justin Walters on the broadcast. The winning duo of Gary Cohen and Dave Popkin are back on the radio airwaves on AM970 The Answer, simulcast on Sirius 81, XM 81 and the Pirate Sports Network.

Three Things to Know About Saturday's Clash at the Dunk

1. Get to the Line & Make 'Em
Seton Hall's been great about making comebacks on the road, but one number that sticks out about the six road wins in a row is the free throw shooting. While Seton Hall is shooting 70.2 percent as a team this season, the Pirates are 77.4 percent at the line in the six BIG EAST road victories, including three performances above 80 percent. If you're going to beat a team on the road, you need those free points at the line.

2. What Did We Learn from the First Matchup?
The Pirates defeated Providence by nine in the first matchup, but perhaps it could have been an even bigger win if the Pirates had been able to limit Providence on the boards. The Friars had a whopping 19 offensive rebounds and turned them into 21 points to make up for a 36 percent shooting night. The Pirates have been up and down with rebounding this season, but they have out-rebounded their opponents in each of the last three games.

3. What Did We Learn Part II: Electric Boogaloo
In the last matchup, Providence elected to double Myles Powell all night, and while the All-America candidate only took six shots, Seton Hall burned the Friars on the pick-and-roll on multiple occasions as Romaro Gill had 17 points. So is it a pick-your-poison situation? Will the Friars double Powell again? The only way to find out is to watch!
