Xavier Musketeers vs Seton Hall Pirates Predictions 2/9/2022

With the year coming to a close, every game for the Pirates from now on is essential. Over the previous month, Seton Hall was inconsistent, finishing 5-6 in their last 11 games. The Pirates’ NCAA tournament hopes will be aided greatly if they can string together victories.

Seton Hall will be trying for a third consecutive win with a crucial home victory after a strong two-game stretch. After surrendering only 59 points per game against Georgetown and Creighton, they’ll be trying to keep up their strong defensive play.

Seton Hall’s offense is excellent, scoring close to 76 points each game. The Pirates aren’t very good shooters, posting less than 43% from the field and less than 34% from beyond the arc. The Pirates, on the other hand, excel at crashing the boards, ranking 16th in offensive rebounding in all of college basketball.

All year, getting longer possessions paid off handsomely on the scoreboard. Jared Rhoden is a key contributor, posting over 15 points and seven rebounds a game, while Bryce Aiken averaged 14.5 points per game.

#25 Xavier Musketeers vs Seton Hall Pirates. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Seton Hall Pirates. With both sides having had bad ATS performances in recent weeks, this is a difficult game to handicap. Seton Hall is just 1-4 ATS in their last five matches after a win, but they have a 9-3 straight-up record at home.

On their turf, the tiny point spread should favor a Pirates cover. In recent weeks, Xavier failed to cover the spread, going 1-7 ATS in their previous eight games.

Seton Hall rated 16th in the NCAA in rebounding, should have success storming the boards and prolonging offensive possessions, which might be the difference down the line. The Seton Hall Pirates will win to a predicted best play of UNDER 73-68.
