Hofstra vs Seton Hall Prediction 

Seton Hall comes into this matchup after a very disappointing loss to Fordham in their last game, where they only scored 24 points in the second half. The Pirates have only shot the ball 36.7% from the field through two games and they are scoring just 56.5 points per game, which is a huge issue. Hofstra was able to get a 14-point win over Iona in their lone D-1 game so far this season and they are shooting over 49% from the field. I know Seton Hall is probably the better team, but I can’t back a team that is shooting this poorly. Take Hofstra and the points.
