Xavier vs Seton Hall Prediction 2/23/25 College Basketball Picks

The Xavier Musketeers and Seton Hall Pirates meet on Sunday in college basketball action at Prudential Center. Here’s a Xavier vs Seton Hall Prediction. This article will include a Xavier vs Seton Hall Pick.

Xavier Musketeers Betting Preview

The Xavier Musketeers (17-10, 15-12 ATS) are playing well at the moment; they are on a three-game winning streak. Following a road victory over Providence, Xavier secured a pair of home wins against DePaul and Butler. On Saturday, several bracket projections identified Xavier as one of the earliest teams to be left out of next month’s NCAA Tournament field. Right now, Xavier is 5th in the Big East.

Xavier averages 77.3 PPG (100th) and allows 70.6 PPG (139th). The Musketeers are 313th in rebounds (33.8) and 34th in assists (16.7). Zach Freemantle leads the team with 16.8 PPG, 7.1 RPG, and 1.1 SPG. Ryan Conwell follows him with 15.4 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 2.5 APG, and 1.4 SPG, while Dailyn Swain chips in with 10.5 PPG and 5.2 RPG, 2.6 APG, and a team-high 1.5 SPG.

Seton Hall Pirates Betting Preview

Seton Hall Pirates (7-19, 10-16 ATS) managed to get just two wins in the last 15 games. Interestingly, both of those victories came in overtime against DePaul and UConn at home. Seton Hall is at the rock bottom of the Big East, and nobody would be surprised if the Pirates lose the remaining five games in the season.

Seton Hall is averaging 62.4 PPG (421st) and is allowing 69.8 PPG (117th). The Pirates are getting 32.3 RPG (371st) and are having 11.0 APG (406th). Trey Kaufman-Renn is the team’s top scorer with 19.6 PPG, along with a team-high 6.2 RPG, and 2.5 APG. Braden Smith adds 16.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG, a team-high 8. APG, and a team-high 2.4 SPG, while Fletcher Loyer contributes 13.7 PPG.

Why Xavier will beat Seton Hall

• Seton Hall has lost 10 of its last 11 games against the Big East Conference.
• Xavier has won four of its last five games.
• Xavier has won the first half in four of its last five games against the Big East Conference.

Xavier vs Seton Hall Prediction

Xavier won four of the past five H2H meetings, including the first encounter of the current campaign when the Musketeers secured an easy 94-72 home victory. Seton Hall is limited offensively, and even though Xavier’s defense is not among the best in the country, I am pretty sure the visitors will contain the Pirates here. Seton Hall failed to reach a 70-point mark in each of the last nine games, and I seriously doubt they will get to that number on Sunday. Feel free to back Xavier to cover. It’s going to be a double-digit win for the Musketeers.
