Monmouth Hawks vs Seton Hall Pirates 11/9/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Monmouth Hawks will go against the Seton Hall Pirates in NCAAB action in Prudential Center Newark, NJ, on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, at 9:00 PM.

 

Monmouth changed conferences in the summer, moving from the MAAC to the CAA after winning the league tournament the previous year.

 

The Hawks will face a new level of competition in the CAA and will attempt to win their fourth consecutive season under coach King Rice’s guidance.

 

The Hawks may have a difficult transition year, and not only because they switched conferences. 

 

Last season, the Hawks were a below-average offensive club, ranking 241st in offensive efficiency with 68.6 points per game. Monmouth averaged 36.5 boards per game (101st in Division I) and 11.7 assists per game (282nd).

 

The Hawks were above-average in defense, allowing 67.3 points per game and ranking 126th in scoring defense in the country.

 

Monmouth lost its top four scorers from last season. In each game, that quartet averaged 52.1 points and 18.9 rebounds. That implies that Rice is attempting to replace 75.9% of the team’s offensive performance from last year.

Monmouth Hawks vs Seton Hall Pirates Predictions 11/9/2022

 

Seton Hall completed 21-11 last season, their sixth 20-win season in the previous seven years, but they did not advance beyond the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament since reaching the Sweet 16 in 1999-00.

 

Kevin Willard left the Pirates following the season to take over at Maryland. Shaheen Holloway, a previous assistant coach at the school from 1996-97 to 1999-00, took his place.

 

Holloway spent 3 years at Iona under Willard, then many years at Seton Hall before collecting a 64-57 record in 4 seasons at Saint Peter’s, which had a miraculous run to the Elite Eight last year.

 

Holloway inherits a club with some skill but must replace their top 3 scorers from last season.

 

Seton Hall averaged 71.9 points per game on the offensive end last year, ranking 151st in the US in scoring offense. The Pirates averaged 38.5 boards per game (33rd in the league) while dishing out 10.3 assists per game.

 

Seton Hall was above average defensively this year, allowing 66.4 points per game and ranking 94th in scoring defense. Last year, Kadary Richmond led the club in scoring with 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.

 

Monmouth Hawks vs Seton Hall Pirates. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Seton Hall Pirates. Monmouth was a quality mid-major program in recent years, but Rice will need time to acclimate.

 

It’s difficult to replace three-quarters of your offense from last season when you don’t have any huge impact players with a track record to step in.

 

Seton Hall lost Myles Cale, Bryce Aiken, and Jared Rhoden, but adding Odukale and Ndefo to their rotation helps. Holloway showed his ability to win at this level by performing admirably at Saint Peter’s.

 

Returning to his alma university, the Pirates must have the upper hand in this battle. The Seton Hall Pirates will win to a predicted score of 78-57.
