Seton Hall vs Marquette Prediction
Seton Hall was able to snap their losing streak with an impressive victory over Connecticut in their last game, but they will be on the road for this contest. The Pirates are shooting just 40% from the field this year and they have scored 57 points or fewer in three of their last four games. Marquette has lost three of their last four games, but they are 5-2 in their last seven home games. The Golden Eagles are shooting 44% from the field this season and they should have no problem slowing down this Seton Hall offense. I expect Marquette to win this game rather easily, but they haven’t covered -17.5 since December 31st. Take Seton Hall and the points here.
