Seton Hall vs DePaul Prediction

DePaul is at its best at home where it’s seen 9 of its 11 wins come and Seton Hall is in bad form. However, DePaul has a long history of stinking up the joint in Big East play, and Seton Hall is a great defensive side that’s won 4 road games this season. Seton Hall couldn’t score the basketball against me and you, but the defense is clearly the best unit on the floor in this game. It won’t be pretty, but this is a spot where Seton Hall should get right. I’ll lay the bucket with the Pirates on the road.
