The Seton Hall Pirates will take on the Marquette Golden Eagles for what’s expected to be one of the best NCAA basketball games today. With all of the moves that Seton Hall had made throughout the offseason, many were expecting that this could be a team that finished in the top 25 this season. Marquette, on the other hand, is typically one of the better teams in the Big East and finds success throughout the entire year because of what they do on the defensive side of the basketball.
Let’s break this game down with our Seton Hall vs Marquette prediction and find the best bet for this contest.
Last Game Records
Seton Hall is going to be coming into this one, not having the college basketball standings that they were hoping for coming into the season. That’s because they’ve lost too many games where they have an opportunity of winning. At 7-6 and losing their most recent game to Xavier, Seton Hall is hoping that they can get back on track sometime in the near future. Marquette has some huge wins this season as they currently sit at 9-4, but they weren’t able to come away with the win against Providence in their most recent game, as they lost by five points after losing 103-98.
Seton Hall Pirates vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Betting Analysis
Seton Hall Content
Seton Hall decided to go out and hire head coach Shaheen Holloway. The former St Peter’s head coach took the team to the Elite 8 a season ago and is back with the Pirates after playing there for his college career. He was able to add a few guys through the transfer portal during the offseason and Seton Hall is hopeful that those guys are going to eventually be able to pay off and do what you need for them to do to be a national championship type of team.
When coach Holloway took the job, many believed that Seton Hall was going to be one of the best teams in the nation and that simply hasn’t been the case just yet. However, some of their college basketball players are above average and have a chance of turning their season around if they can play well in the Big East this season.
The one guy that we’re going to be looking for in this game is certainly going to be KC Ndefo. If his offensive game can improve, there’s a good chance that this kid could even possibly find himself in the NBA next season. While it might be a long shot, he has more than enough talent to get the job down. Seton Hall is one of those NCAA basketball teams that’s going to beat you down low. They’re going to defend at the highest level possible and are going to make things tough on any offense that they play. This is a huge game for both teams on their NCAAB schedule.
Marquette Content
Marquette is one of those teams that nobody typically ever wants to play, and that’s because they play an elite level of basketball year in and year out. Although the past few seasons haven’t necessarily gone the way that we would expect from a Marquette team, this squad has played fantastic basketball to start the year as they have wins over Georgia Tech, Creighton, Notre Dame, and a few other high-level opponents. They also barely lost to teams like Wisconsin, Providence, Mississippi State, and Purdue. If they can turn some of those losses into wins, there’s a good chance that we can see this team in the top 25 at some time in the near future. This might be one of the tougher bets that we have to make with our Seton Hall vs Marquette prediction
Updates
At the moment, the college basketball injury report is clean for both sides. That’s great news for us, considering that we’re going to see some of the top players in the nation going at it. It’s also great for our college basketball picks today.
Seton Hall Pirates vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Betting Preview
Considering that this game is going to be played at Marquette, the NCAAB odds certainly make sense. Marquette is going to be coming into this one at -7 on the spread line, – 295 on the moneyline, and the under is going to be slotted at 141.5. Seton Hall is going to be coming in at +7 on the spread line, +245 on the moneyline, and the over is going to be slotted at 141.5.
Seton Hall Pirates vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Betting Prediction
We’re finally here with our Seton Hall vs Marquette prediction, and the best bet in this game is going to be taking Seton Hall +7. Although I have been more impressed with what Marquette has done throughout the year, I do think it’s just a matter of time before Seton Hall finally figures this thing out.
If you were a fan of that Saint Peter’s team a season ago, they also had a slow start with head coach Shaheen Holloway. He typically likes to mess around with the rotations and find guys that can fit the defensive schemes that he’s looking for, and I believe the same thing is going to happen with Seton Hall this season. While they certainly play a much better schedule than St. Peter’s, if coach Holloway could take Saint Peter’s to the Elite 8, then there’s no reason why a team like Seton Hall can’t beat a squad like Marquette. It’s not going to be an easy task for them to get the job done, but I fully expect them to at least cover that +7 spread on Tuesday night.
