T.M. Selection: Seton Hall.

I like Seton Hall to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Saturday. Seton Hall had won 6 games in a row before losing to providence in their most recent game. They lost that game by 5 points on the road and it was their 1st game of conference play this year. Seton Hall has had a pretty good offense this year though and they have put up 70+ points in a lot of their games. They have also looked good on defense and have only given up 70+ points in 3 of their games this year. Villanova has already played 2 games of conference play this year and they are 1-1 in those games, winning 1 in their most recent game against Xavier. Their 2 games before that 1 they lost, both of them were on the road where they have a losing record this year and both of those losses were by 20+ points. Villanova has not looked good on offense lately either. They scored 71 points in their most recent games but they failed to get over 60 points and 40 points in the 2 games before that and they have scored 70+ points in just that 1 game of their previous 4. I think Villanova is going to struggle on the road again like they have all year and I expect Seton Hall to be hungry for a bounce back win in this game. Seton Hall was rolling over teams right before they lost that game and I think they are going to get back on that train. I like Seton Hall to cover the spread here and win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 77-64 Seton Hall.
