Georgetown at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Georgetown at Seton Hall odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Georgetown Hoyas (9-2, 1-0 Big East) and the Seton Hall Pirates (5-7, 0-1) meet Sunday at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Georgetown vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Hoyas roughed up the Creighton Bluejays Wednesday in D.C. by an 81-57 score as 4.5-point underdogs as the Under (145.5) cashed. Georgetown has won 7 of its past 8 games, while going 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 6 outings. The Under has hit in 4 in a row, and the defense has allowed 68 or fewer points in 6 of the past 8 outings. Hoya Saxa!

The Pirates lost 79-67 Tuesday at the Villanova Wildcats, and Seton Hall has dropped 3 in a row. The Pirates are also 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings, while the Over is 3-1 in the previous 4 contests.

Seton Hall has won 6 in a row in this series since 2022, although Georgetown is 6-1 ATS in the span. The Over has cashed in the past 3 meetings.

Georgetown at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgetown 71, Seton Hall 62

Moneyline

GEORGETOWN (-145) isn’t priced out of line if you’d like to just pick a winner and skip worrying about the points. While the points aren’t really a lot, we did mention the Hoyas have dropped the past 7 games against Seton Hall (+120), so there is some risk here.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less conservative, GEORGETOWN -2.5 (-110) is a strong play. Yes, the Hoyas have lost 7 in a row to Seton Hall +2.5 (-110). However, Georgetown is playing tremendous basketball right now, including a rout of Creighton and a road win at the Syracuse Orange in the past 2 outings. Georgetown is 5-1 ATS in the past 6 games, too.

On the flip side, the Pirates have not only dropped 3 in a row, but it is just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games, and 4-8 ATS in 12 outings this season. Seton Hall is 1-5 ATS in 6 games at home, too.

Over/Under

OVER 129.5 (-115) is worth a look, but be careful.

The Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games for the Pirates, but the Under is 4-0 in the past 4 outings for the Hoyas. The total has ended up going high in each of the past 3 meetings, however.

Seton Hall is just 3-7 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 games including 0-3 ATS in its last 3 and 0-2 ATS in its last 2 as a double-digit underdog. Rutgers has covered in 3 of its last 4 including back-to-back games at home.

NIT Final: Indiana State vs. Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Indiana State vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana State Sycamores (32-6) and Seton Hall Pirates (24-12) meet Thursday in the NIT Final. Tip-off from Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis is slated for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN/ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Indiana State vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sycamores belted Utah 100-90 Tuesday in an NIT semifinal in Indianapolis, covering as 4.5-point favorites as the Over (161.5) cashed. Fan favorite C Robbie Avila — with his creative nicknames of “Cream Abdul Jabbar” and “Larry Nerd” — posted 26 points with 10 rebounds, 3 assists and a block, while hitting 11-of-14 from the field. G Ryan Conwell ended up with 27 points, while draining 4 triples.

While Indiana State is 2-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 3 games, Seton Hall is 3-0 ATS in its last 3. The Pirates advanced here with an 84-67 win over Georgia in their Tuesday semifinal at Hinkle. The Pirates covered as 5.5-point favorites and the Over (146) cashed.

This should come down to Indiana State’s offense vs. Seton Hall’s defense.

The Sycamores averaged 90.5 points per game in their 4 NIT contests; the Pirates yielded 66.3 PPG in their 4 NIT victories — the first win was an overtime victory over Saint Joseph’s.

Seton Hall hit 47.1% (32-of-68) from the field against Georgia, while knocking down 40.0% (8-of-20) from behind the 3-point line.

Indiana State hit 56.9% (37-of-65) from the field, including 35.3% (12-of-34) from behind the arc.

Seton Hall hasn’t covered in 4 straight games at any point this season.

Indiana State vs. Seton Hall and predictions

Prediction

Indiana State 85, Seton Hall 80

Moneyline

PASS.

Unless you don’t want to lay 2.5 points on the Indiana State spread, you can lay the -155 juice here with the Sycamores.

Against the spread

INDIANA STATE -2.5 (-115) is a decent play to get the job done by at least a trey.

The Sycamores are on fire offensively, going for 75 or more points in all 7 postseason games, and 11 straight games dating back to the regular season. If this team is hitting their shots, Indiana State is hard to beat, especially in front of a raucous crowd.

Indianapolis is just a little over an hour from the Sycamores’ campus in Terre Haute. Just like the semifinal, it will be a pro-Indiana State crowd at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

The Sycamores are a solid 5-2 ATS in 7 postseason games, and they have won 3 of the past 4 games by 9 or more points.

Seton Hall (+125) has been a good play in this tournament. Just like the Sycamores, the Pirates have played hard, looking to make a statement after getting snubbed for the NCAA Tournament.

The difference here will be proximity to campus for Indiana State, and the crowd will spur on the Sycamores.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

OVER 159.5 (-110) is the way to go.

The Sycamores have posted 5 Over results in the past 6 outings, while the Pirates have hit the Over in the past 2 games. Seton Hall has averaged 87.5 PPG in the past 2 outings, while allowing 67.5 PPG. Look for plenty of offense in this battle for the trophy.

NIT semifinal: Georgia vs. Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Georgia vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Georgia Bulldogs (20-16) and Seton Hall Pirates (23-12) meet Tuesday in an NIT Semifinal. Tip-off from Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis is slated for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia vs. Sethon Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The Bulldogs have caught fire in the postseason, winning 3 straight in the NIT, and 4 of 5 outings. Georgia has covered the spread 7 games in a row, including covered in all 5 postseason games — 2 in the SEC Tournament and 3 straight in the NIT.

Georgia is averaging 76.3 points per game (PPG) in the NIT, although the Over cashed only in the most recent game at Ohio State March 26.

The Pirates were sour about being snubbed by the NCAA Tournament committee. Instead of pouting, Seton Hall is making a statement, winning 3 in a row since getting shown the door by St. John’s in its 1st Big East Tournament game.

Seton Hall pounded UNLV 91-68 as a 6.5-point home favorite in an NIT quarterfinal Wednesday, cashing the Over (143.5). However, Seton Hall is still just 3-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 8 games with the Over going 5-3.

Utah and Indiana State are playing in the other NIT semifinal — scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN).

Georgia vs. Seton Hall and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 75, Georgia 73

Moneyline

Seton Hall (-210) will cost 2.1 times the potential return. That’s way too much risk for not enough reward for a singular bet. However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to include the Pirates in a multi-team parlay or a bonus bet with a boost.

PASS.

Against the spread

GEORGIA +4.5 (-110) is worth a play catching the points. Georgia has been hot, including a surprising outright win at Ohio State as an 8.5-point underdog.

Seton Hall is on a mission, and it appears it’s on a collision course with fellow NCAA Tournament snub Indiana State for the NIT crown. However, the Pirates are just 2-2 ATS in the postseason, and 1-3 ATS in 4 neutral-site games. Look for UGA to keep it close.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

OVER 145.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly.

The Over has split in 4 postseason games for the Pirates, but there is a slight 8-5 edge to the Over in the previous 13 contests.

For the Bulldogs, the Over-Under has split 2-2 in the past 4 postseason games. The Dawgs have hit 72 or more points in 4 straight games, while allowing 76 or more points in 3 of the previous 4 outings.

Seton Hall at UConn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Seton Hall at UConn odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Seton Hall Pirates (18-10, 11-6 Big East) are hoping to pull off an upset once again as they take on the No. 3 UConn Huskies (25-3, 15-2 Big East) Sunday in Storrs. Tip-off at Gampel Pavilion is set for noon ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. UConn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The Pirates handed the Huskies one of their 3 losses this season on Dec. 20 in Newark 75-60, winning outright as an 8-point home dog. The Hall had an 18-0 advantage in fast-break points, and the 17 turnovers committed by UConn was a season high. Senior G Kadary Richmond recorded a season-high 8 steals in the win, and only Butler’s Posh Alexander averages more steals per game (2.2) than Richmond (2.0).

Seton Hall is firmly on the bubble, and bracketologist Joe Lunardi has them as a last 4 in team entering Sunday. The Pirates were worked by No. 12 Creighton 85-64 last Wednesday, but Bluejays coach Doug McDermott firmly believes the Hall is a tournament team.

UConn also recently lost by 19 points to Creighton, falling 85-66 on Feb. 20 in Omaha. Bobby Hurley’s group bounced back last Saturday with a 24-point victory over Villanova. Senior G Cam Spencer tied a team-high with 25 points in the 78-54 win, going 5 of 8 from 3-point range.

Seton Hall at UConn picks and predictions

Prediction

UConn 71, Seton Hall 68

Moneyline

INCLUDE HUSKIES IN A ML (-1600) PARLAY.

Seton Hall pulled off the upset in the last meeting, but that was in their own building, plus UConn C Donovan Clingan left early in the 2nd half with a foot injury. Only Creighton’s Ryan Kalkbrenner averages more blocks per game (2.9) than Clingan (2.1), so expect Hall guards Richmond and Dre Davis to have difficulty attacking inside and getting any easy layups.

If a full-day Sunday sweat is your desire, a 4-leg moneyline parlay with UConn, Nebraska (-360 vs. Rutgers), Ohio State (-690 vs. Michigan) and Memphis (-350 vs. UAB) pays nearly even money.

Against the spread

SETON HALL +14.5 (-110).

That’s a lot of points for UConn to lay considering they lost to this Shaheen Holloway-coached Seton Hall team by 15 points in December. G Al-Amir Dawes has connected on half of 3-pointers attempted over his last 5 games (15 of 30), so expect the Pirates senior to be able to keep his team in it.

Over/Under

PASS.

The Huskies sport both the top scoring offense in the Big East (81.3 points per game) and the best scoring defense (64.1 points allowed) so it is difficult to back a particular side on the total. Also, despite the recent success of Daws from beyond the arc, the Hall still sits at the bottom of the conference in team 3-point percentage (31.4%).

The 6-seed Seton Hall Pirates (17-15) face the 3-seed Colorado Buffaloes (17-16) Tuesday in the 1st round of the National Invitational Tournament. Tip from CU Events Center in Boulder is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. Colorado odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Pirates were stunned in their opening game of the Big East Tournament by lowly DePaul, and Seton Hall has now dropped 4 of its last 5 games overall. Coach Shaheen Holloway, who led St. Peter’s on a magical NCAA Tournament run last season, was unable to duplicate the feat this season with the Pirates.

Seton Hall hits the road, and that’s been a good thing in recent times. The Pirates won outright at Butler, DePaul, Georgetown, St. John’s and UConn since Jan. 10, going 5-2 straight up (SU) and 6-1 against the spread (ATS) in the last 7 games away from home.

The Buffaloes started out well enough, but really hit the skids in mid-January once the conference schedule kicked into full gear. Colorado was 11-6 SU after conference wins against Oregon and Oregon State in Boulder in early January, then it all went south.

CU is just 6-10 SU and 6-9-1 ATS in the last 16 games overall. Colorado has struggled as a home favorite, too, 3-2 SU and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 such situations.

Seton Hall at Colorado picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado 68, Seton Hall 66

Moneyline

Colorado (-190) is a little too expensive for my liking, just over my personal moneyline limit of -180 for a standalone wager.

Even as part of a multi-team parlay, including Colorado sucks the value out of your ticket.

AVOID, and focus on the spread of this close game instead.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

SETON HALL +4.5 (-120) is the play on the road, in what should be a low-scoring battle with points at quite the premium.

Both Seton Hall and Colorado -4.5 (+100) have very deliberate offensive attacks, and the defense is very good. During the regular season, Colorado limited teams to 66.3 PPG while Seton Hall yielded just 65.1 PPG.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-110) is play, but go with a half-unit play at most.

Each of these teams have played solid defense this season, and the offense on each side is rather slow at best.

Seton Hall isn’t a great free-throw shooting team, either, hitting just 68.3%. It leaves a lot points on the floor, which is maddening to Over bettors. Colorado does the same, hitting just a little better at 69.1%.

If either of these teams gets into the 70s it would be rather shocking.

Big East Tournament: DePaul vs. Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s DePaul vs. Seton Hall Big East Tournament odds, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The DePaul Blue Demons (9-22, 3-17) and Seton Hall Pirates (17-14, 10-10) meet Wednesday in a 1st-round matchup in the Big East Tournament. Tip from Madison Square Garden in New York is at approximately 5:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the DePaul vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

DePaul ended the regular season on a 12-game losing streak, while failing to cover in 6 of the last 7 games and 10 of the 12. That includes a 69-64 loss at Seton Hall on Feb. 5, although it did grab a rare cover as a 10-point underdog as the Under cashed. In fact, the Blue Demons were 2-0 ATS with a pair of Under results with SHU this season.

Seton Hall snapped a 3-game skid with an 82-58 rout at Providence in the regular-season finale as an 8-point underdog to enter NYC with a little momentum. The Over cashed in the final 3 games for the Pirates, too.

Seton Hall 72, DePaul 63

AVOID, and focus on the spread instead.

Against the spread

The play is on SETON HALL -5.5 (-115).

The Pirates were much better down the stretch. Heck, even though Seton Hall won just 4 of its final 9 games, it didn’t end on a 12-game skid. That’s what DePaul +5.5 (-105) did, fumbling its way to near the Big East basement.

While the Blue Demons did manage to cover in the 2 regular-season meetings with the Pirates, DePaul won’t be as fortunate here. It will be a pro-Pirates crowd, with throngs of fans coming over from Jersey City to spur Seton Hall to a win and cover in this 1st-round matchup.

Over/Under

UNDER 138.5 (-115) is a strong play in this opening-round battle.

The Under cashed in each of the regular-season matchups, and the total has gone low in 6 of the previous 7 head-to-head battles overall.

The Pirates have cashed the Over in 3 straight, so there is a little bit of risk here, but the Blue Demons were one of the worst defensive teams in the nation with 77.3 PPG allowed. However, we should still see this game come in just under the wire.

Xavier at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

The No. 15 Xavier Musketeers (20-8, 12-5 Big East) take on the Seton Hall Pirates (16-12, 9-8) Friday at Prudential Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Xavier vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Against the spread

SETON HALL +1.5 (-110) is the ideal choice despite the Pirates’ moneyline likely having more value in this matchup. The Musketeers are without their 2nd-leading scorer and top rebounder in F Zach Freemantle.

Seton Hall is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a loss and the underdog is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings between these programs.

Over/Under

UNDER 141.5 (-115) is the lean in this Big East showdown. Seton Hall allows only 64.4 points per game (39th in the nation) and the Pirates produce only 68.3 points per game (265th in the nation).

The Musketeers have gone Under in each of their last 4 games overall and the Pirates are 7-3 to the Under in their last 10 games overall.

Georgetown at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 73, Georgetown 65

Moneyline

PASS.

Seton Hall (-800) is way too expensive, you should never risk 8 times your potential return as a straight wager or in a parlay.

Against the spread

GEORGETOWN +11.5 (-105) won’t win, and likely won’t come close to doing so, but it will give Seton Hall all it can handle. It wouldn’t be surprising the see the scrappy Hoyas fight for another cover, keeping this one to a single-digit deficit.

Georgetown is on a 7-1 ATS run across the past 8 games, although it did fail to cover at home in the first meeting with Seton Hall. The road team has cashed in 5 straight meetings between these teams.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-105) is the lean in this rematch.

The Hoyas have cashed the Under in 4 of the past 5 games overall and in 5 straight against teams with a winning overall record.

The Under is an impressive 8-2 in the past 10 games overall for the Pirates while going 4-1 in their past 5 at home and 5-0 in their past 5 against teams with an overall losing mark.

Creighton at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Creighton 67, Seton Hall 64

Moneyline

AVOID.

Unless you’re confident that Seton Hall can secure a win at home, taking the moneyline in this game isn’t advised. The Pirates are 9-3 at home compared to the Bluejays being 2-4 on the road, so wagering on Creighton (-190) at the current odds is risky.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

SETON HALL +3.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the spread as it wouldn’t surprise me if the Pirates come away with a win. The Pirates have played much better at home and they have the defense to slow down the Bluejays on offense.

Creighton is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road games. Meanwhile, the home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings between these 2 Big East programs.

Over/Under

With how well these teams can play on the defensive end, UNDER 135.5 (-110) is the lean. While Creighton is averaging a solid 76.8 points per game (63rd in the nation), Seton Hall allows only 64 points per game (41st in the nation) and allows opposing teams to convert only 29.4% of its 3-point shots (17th in the nation).

The Bluejays have gone Under in 5 of their last 6 games, while the Pirates are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 home games.
