Villanova vs. Seton Hall Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. This to me, whether it’s a dominant Villanova win, or a tight, defensive battle, feels like a low-scoring affair from beginning to end. I think that there’s going to be an emphasis on defense in this game, and I’m not sure I really trust either side to produce offensively in this one. Give me the under in this game.
