Seton Hall at Marquette: Three things to know

Senior F Sandro Mamukelashvili scored a career-high 32 points – his second 30-point game of the season – as the Pirates won their Big East opener and covered the spread in their third straight game. Mamukelashvili and junior G Jared Rhoden lead the Pirates with 20.4 and 14.1 points per game, respectively. They also are the team’s top rebounders, averaging 7.4 RPG each.
- Marquette prevailed in its Big East opener, defeating ninth-ranked Creighton 89-84 Monday as an 8.5-point underdog. The Golden Eagles produced a 29-10 run in the second half to turn a 9-point deficit into a 70-60 advantage with 7:26 to go. The lead was cut to 76-75 at the 2:31 mark, but the Golden Eagles never relinquished the lead and closed with a 13-9 run for the win. Sophomore G D.J. Carton led Marquette with a career-high 20 points, and senior G Koby McEwen, added 18 points. McEwen leads the Golden Eagles with 15.7 PPG.
- Seton Hall has won the last four in the series, including an 88-79 victory at Marquette as a 2.5-point dog last season (Feb. 29). Marquette leads the all-time series 19-11, including 18-11 since joining the Big East in 2005-06.

Seton Hall at Marquette: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Marquette 79, Seton Hall 77
Money line (ML)
Marquette (-175) is 2-0 vs. top-10 teams. It beat Creighton and upset then-No. 4 Wisconsin 67-65 as a 4.5-point dog on freshman F Justin Lewis‘ tip-in at the buzzer off a missed free throw. The Golden Eagles should squeak out a win here, but it will be too close to risk a -175 ML bet on. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
Back SETON HALL +4 (-115), which is 5-2 ATS, while Marquette is 4-3 ATS. The Pirates are 5-0 ATS in their last five games vs. the Golden Eagles. Look for Hall to keep it close, but come up just a tad short.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 145 (-115) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager. Marquette, 3-4 O/U, averages 76.3 PPG, while Seton Hall is 4-3 O/U and averages 77.4 PPG. The Over is also 9-3 in the Pirates’ last 12 road games.
