Prediction
I love the Pirates in this spot at home. The Hoyas have been struggling as of late in Big East play losing their last five games. I think their struggles on the road as they remain winless. Seton Hall has the better weapons and guard play as they use it to their advantage in this game. Look for Al-Amir Dawes to have a monster game in this one just like he did earlier in the year against the Hoyas.
Prediction: The Seton Hall Pirates cover the spread (-11.5).
