Creighton vs Seton Hall Prediction
I guess Seton Hall should be favored at home with the way it’s played up to this point, but the value is with Creighton and the free bucket. One, Seton Hall hasn’t beat Creighton since March 2022. Creighton also has an offense that travels and if those shots are falling, Seton Hall could start pressing a bit. We’ve also seen Seton Hall lose two of its biggest tests of the season against USC and Villanova. Seton Hall simply has to show us something against good teams. Creighton can win this game outright. I’ll take the free bucket.
