Pick

Seton Hall had their winning streak snapped in their last game against Marquette, but will get a chance to bounce back against a Butler team that has lost three games in a row. Seton Hall has played better defense than Butler has this season and they are averaging more rebounds per game. Seton Hall defeated Butler by a score of 76-51 a few games ago, but I think we will see a closer game here. I like Butler with the points at home.
