(NCAAB) Seton Hall vs. Villanova,
Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 Seton Hall (Away)
Result: Win
Villanova snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over DePaul on Wednesday and it took a late 12-0 run to blow that game open. Seton Hall is coming off a loss against Creighton and at 8-6 in the conference and 15-10 overall, it is on the tournament bubble, one of the last four teams out. Al-Amir Dawes leads a balanced scoring attack for the Pirates with five players averaging between 8 and 12 PPG. Tyrese Samuel is an athletic rim big man on the inside for Seton Hall, the 6'10 235 pound forward leads the teams in rebound with 6 per game, and is second in scoring with 10 PPG. Seton Hall has an excellent defense, ranked 17th in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency. They are 4-0 in their last four road conference games and I think they keep this one close on Saturday night.
