Seton Hall Pirates vs. Providence Friars Prediction

I’m on Providence in this one. I just think that the Friars are a bad matchup for Seton Hall in this game, and I think that the Pirates are on the wrong side of it here. Conference opener at home, Providence is also the better offensive team and do a good job of shutting down everything that Seton Hall needs to succeed offensively in this game. Give me the Friars at home.
