Why DePaul will beat Seton Hall

Seton Hall vs DePaul Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup battling for the last spot in the Big East standings and they only have two wins combined in conference play, but DePaul will be at home for this matchup. The Blue Demons did play a great first half against UConn in their last game, but they fell apart in the second half and couldn’t hold the lead. Seton Hall nearly beat Providence in their last game, but they are shooting just 40.7% from the field this year and they have scored 59 points or fewer in three of their last four. DePaul has actually been decent on offense this year, but their defense has let them down. DePaul has been the better shooting team and I don’t trust the Seton Hall offense on the road. Take the Blue Demons at home here.
