The Pirates are the better team that will control the pace and the glass in this game and have played the better strength of schedule this season. They are a good offensive rebounding team and they create turnover opportunities and are much better at the free throw line. These two teams are similar in talent but the edge goes to Seton Hall's defense. The Rebels are also weak in defensive rebounding and allowing opponents second chance looks. The Pirates will control the pace and the Rebels will have a tough time slowing them down to their kind of game and the Pirates guards are just a little bit better in skill. If this game comes down to free throw, than one wants the better team in the Pirates to make their shots and the home crowd behind them.

Seton Hall have won 7 consecutive home games this season. SH are 4-2 ATS this season as a home favorite of 6 points or less or pick.

Best bet: lay the points with Seton Hall.
