Siena vs. Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

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

The Siena Saints (3-3) face the Seton Hall Pirates (4-2) Sunday in the ESPN Events Invitational 3rd-place game in Kissimmee, Fla., at 5 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Siena vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

After beating struggling Florida State 80-63 as 8.5-point underdogs in Thursday’s opening round, the Saints lost 74-62 to Ole Miss Friday in a semifinal, pushing as 12-point dogs. Siena now will battle Seton Hall in the consolation bracket in hopes of getting a resume-building win on a neutral court — something the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee looks at when evaluating teams for possible at-large bids to the Big Dance in March.

The Pirates are coming off a 77-64 loss Friday 1.5-point favorites vs. Oklahoma. They beat Memphis 70-69 Thursday on F Tyrese Samuel’s 3 at the buzzer — Seton Hall was a 1.5-point underdog in that one. If the Pirates want to head home with a 2-1 showing in this tournament, they’ll need to shoot better than the 23-for-52 FG performance (44.2%) as they did vs. the Sooners.

Siena vs. Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 74, Siena 58

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value in betting on Seton Hall (-1100). One would have to bet 11 times their potential profit on a Pirates ML ticket. As for Siena (+625), the payout would be 6.25 times the initial bet, but it’s unlikely the Saints win here.

Against the spread

SETON HALL -14.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.

Siena will be outmatched. Seton Hall is a solid Big East team and will be looking to get this victory before heading back home. While the Saints would love to get this game for their resume, I don’t see this one finishing close and the Pirates should be able to pull away and win comfortably.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 136.5 (-110).

Neither of these teams are offensive juggernauts. In this get-away game, both will attempt to get some ball control practice in, and the score will suffer.

Expect a methodical, slow game with the UNDER 136.5 (-110) the correct way to play this one.

Memphis vs. Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

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

The Memphis Tigers (2-1) travel to Disney World to take on the Seton Hall Pirates (3-1) Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPNews). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Memphis vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Memphis beat VCU 62-47 in its last game on Sunday as 9.5-point favorites. This came after a 90-84 loss as 3.5-point underdog against St. Louis University.

Coach Penny Hardaway has been building up this roster over the past season and it will look to continue its ascension back to the National Championship level it attained under John Calipari. A win here against a solid Big East team in Seton Hall would do wonders for the program in its reboot.

After Seton Hall lost its 1st game of the season 83-67 to Iowa on Nov. 16 as a 1.5-point favorite, the Pirates came back with a 38-point victory over Wagner (82-44) as 18.5-point favorites. Leading scorer Al-Amir Dawes had 19 points and 4 rebounds for the Pirates.

Memphis vs. Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Memphis 74, Seton Hall 70

Moneyline

BET MEMPHIS -130.

With the ML being so short at only -130, I would rather risk the extra .15 for the security in this close game.

While the Tigers could easily win this by 2, I could also see a scenario in which the Pirates play to the end and lose by 1. With the number being where it is, I will take Memphis on the ML and not risk the spread as my favorite play.

Against the spread

PASS.

This game will be extremely close. The 1.5-point line insinuates this, and I believe it. It may only be an extra 1.5 points, but I would rather take Memphis to win rather then to make them cover the number.

Over/Under

BET OVER 138.5 (-110).

While both teams have been up and down in the scoring department in 2022, this game should have some points. While I do not see either team getting to 80, I can see both getting to 70 in this matchup. If this happens, the Over 138.5 will hit. And I like it.

Wagner at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

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

The Wagner Seahawks (3-1) will make their way to Newark to take on the Seton Hall Pirates (2-1) Sunday at 3 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wagner vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Seahawks are averaging 73.8 points per game and its only loss was 77-69 to LaSalle in the 2nd game of the season. With leading scorer DeLonnie Hunt averaging 14.8 points, this is not a high-scoring team.

Seton Hall looks to get back on track after an 83-67 home loss to Iowa on Wednesday as 1.5-point favorites. After a poor showing in their 1st challenge, the Pirates will likely take advantage of an overmatched Wagner unit. Seton Hall has 7 players averaging 7-plus points per game led by G Dre Davis at 11.3.

Wagner at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 68, Wagner 53

Moneyline

PASS.

Unless you rally feel Wagner can win this game, the ML is not the play to make in this game.

Against the spread

BET WAGNER +18.5 (-110).

Seton Hall has won its 2 games by 27 and 36 points. Those games were against Monmouth University and St. Peters, the darling of last season’s NCAA Tournament. Last year does not mean a lot and St. Peters is a shell of itself. Especially after its coach, Shaheen Halloway, left to take the same position with these Pirates.

What was meant to be a walkover for the Pirates could be anything but after losing to Iowa. Wagner may not win, but it will remain close, and Seton Hall will not pull away. I like Wagner with the points. Take Wagner +18.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 133.5 (-110).

The Pirates held their 1st 2 opponents to 96 combined points. An average of 48 points per game. After a step up in competition, this number raised to 83 against Iowa. The Wagner team which comes in Sunday is to the level of Seton Hall’s first 2 opponents and scoring could be difficult for the Seahawks.

Seton Hall will keep the game slow and avoid making any big mistakes. They have talent enough to run Wagner out of the gym, but they may be happy in getting a cozy home win at the Prudential Center before heading out to play Memphis on Thursday. The Under 133.5 (-110) is my favorite play.

Iowa at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

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

The Iowa Hawkeyes (2-0) take on the Seton Hall Pirates (2-0) Wednesday. Tip-off from Prudential Center is at 7:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Iowa vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Iowa has opened its season with 2 cupcake games against Bethune-Cookman and North Carolina A&T. They did exactly what was both expected and needed to prove themselves beating Bethune-Cookman 89-58 Nov. 7, covering a 28.5-point number, and topping North Carolina A&T 112-71 Friday, covering a 24.5-point number.

Seton Hall comes in off an 80-44 victory over 2021-22 tournament darling St. Peter Sunday, covering as a 16-point favorite. This came on the heels of a lopsided 79-52 victory against Monmouth in its season opener last Wednesday.

Neither of these teams has played a real challenge, but that changes Wednesday. It will be interesting to see which group can adjust better to finally playing a real opponent.

Iowa at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa 85, Seton Hall 79

Moneyline

BET IOWA (+100).

Iowa should win this game so taking the moneyline is better value than taking the +1.5 (-115) on the spread. Iowa will shoot and then shoot more. Seton Hall will be unable to keep up.

Against the spread

PASS.

With Iowa likely to win, I would prefer taking its moneyline for better value.

Over/Under

BET OVER 151.5 (-112).

Iowa, in 2 games, has averaged 73 shots per game. It is a shoot first and shoot often team. While Seton Hall is not (48.5 shots per game), it will need to increase this number as the Hawkeyes will put up points.

Even with Iowa only giving up 58 and 71 points in its first 2 games, its opponents still forced up plenty of shots with Bethune-Cookman tossing up 66 in the opener and North Carolina A&T getting up 67 in the last game. Seton Hall will also get into the 60s in terms of shots and more will go in for them. I expect this game to be in the high 150s at a minimum and this makes OVER 151.5 (-112) my favorite play in this game.

St. Peter’s at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s St. Peter’s at Seton Hall odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The St. Peter’s Peacocks (1-0) and the Seton Hall Pirates (1-0) meet Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (FS2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the St. Peter’s vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Peacocks of St. Peter’s made a historic run to the Elite Eight last season. Now, its former coach is patrolling the sideline for the opponent on Saturday.

Seton Hall coach Shaheen Holloway will lead his Pirates against his former team, St. Peter’s, and defensive specialist KC Ndefo followed his coach to Seton Hall.

The Peacocks also saw G Daryl Banks III (St. Bonaventure), F Hassan Drame and F Fousseyni Drame (La Salle), G Doug Edert (Bryant), G Matt Lee (Missouri State) and F Clarence Rupert (Southern Illinois) transfer to other schools, breaking up the historic team.

St. Peter’s won its opener against NJIT by a 73-59 count Monday, covering as an 8-point favorite as the Over cashed.

Seton Hall also played a New Jersey school in its opener, routing Monmouth, another MAAC team, by a 79-52 score Wednesday as 19.5-point favorites.

St. Peter’s at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 78, St. Peter’s 58

Moneyline

Seton Hall (-1600) will cost you 16 times your potential return, and even in a multi-team parlay, there is no reason to include such a heavy favorite.

PASS, and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

SETON HALL -15.5 (-120) is a solid play in this Garden State battle in Newark.

There will likely be a flood of emotions early on for Holloway and Ndefo, but the fact so many new faces have replaced familiar ones will ease the pain. The Pirates should be able to handle their business. The Peacocks will draw a lot of attention because of their Cinderella run last season, but they’re a shell of their former selves.

Over/Under

OVER 131.5 (-112) is the lean here.

Seton Hall shot well in its first game, hitting 45.3% from the field while bagging 8 triples. The Pirates struggled from the free-throw line at just 59% (23-of-39). If Seton Hall picks up the pace from the line, it should be able to exceed its opening-game total in points.

St. Peter’s shot just 39% (26-of-59) in the opener, including just 27% (6-of-22) from behind the arc. With a little improvement, it too could see an uptick in offensive production. As such, the Over is the play here.

Monmouth at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Monmouth at Seton Hall name odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Monmouth Hawks and Seton Hall Pirates open their 2022-23 seasons with a non-conference tilt in Newark. Tip-off at the Prudential Center is slated for 8 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Monmouth vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Monmouth got off to a great start a year ago, winning 10 of its first 12 games. The Hawks finished 21-13 overall and 11-9 (4th) in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Last season was MU’s last in the MAAC and they now compete in the Colonial Athletic Association.

These two programs last met Nov. 12, 2017, when the Pirates won as 16.5-point favorites 75-65.

The Pirates were 21-11 last season. They went 11-8 (5th) in the Big East and earned an NCAA Tournament berth. Seton Hall was solid down the stretch, at point going 9-2 from Feb. 1-March 9. Coach Kevin Willard, who had been at SHU since 2011, was hired by Maryland in the offseason and the Pirates’ new bench boss is Shaheen Holloway, who guided St. Peter’s to an Elite Eight appearance last March.

Monmouth at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 74, Monmouth 57

Moneyline

PASS. No value here whatoevere.

Against the spread

Figure Seton Hall’s defense being a major problem for a young Monmouth squad that returns no starters from last year.

Holloway’s St. Peter’s squad went 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS against the Hawks last season. But his new Pirates unit may have a couple injury concerns in the rotation, and this spread is a large 1 for a pair of teams expected to play mostly slow-tempo ball this year.

PASS.

Over/Under

SHU closed out the 2021-22 season with 5 straight Unders. The Under is 20-7 across MU’s last 27 contests on the road.

Figure Monmouth trying to slow this game down to protect a young backcourt. And Holloway playing out a respectful 20-point win against a former MAAC colleague seems likely.

BACK THE UNDER 135.5 (-115).

March Madness: TCU vs. Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 9-seed TCU Horned Frogs (20-12) meet the No. 8-seed Seton Hall Pirates (21-10) in San Diego Friday for a first-round South Region game in the NCAA Championship Tournament. Tip-off at Viejas Arena is set for 9:57 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the TCU vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Texas Christian went 8-10 in Big-12 play, but the Horned Frogs made the NCAA field on the strength of a lockdown defense and late-season wins over Texas Tech, Kansas, and Texas (currently ranked Nos. 11, 3, and 25 nationally, respectively). TCU also ranks as an elite offensive rebounding team: the Frogs have logged a dozen or more offensive boards in 14 games this season.

Seton Hall took fifth in the Big East regular-season standings. Like TCU, the Pirates also sport a solid defense, especially of late. Seton Hall has gone 6-1, allowing just 61.9 points per game since Feb. 19. SHU has held foes to a mere 37.5% mark from the floor over that span.

[tipico]

TCU vs. Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 67, TCU 64

Money line

PASS.

Against the spread

Seton Hall’s defense is a good fit for what TCU likes to do with the basketball. A slow-down game with a preponderance of shots around the paint can be well-defended by the big bodies in the Pirate frontcourt.

The Frogs are often too loose with the ball, and if SHU can limit TCU’s offensive rebounds it can pull off a win by a two-possession margin.

TAKE THE PIRATES -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Both teams enter on Under streaks, but this total is perhaps overly reflective of that.

Seton Hall had started to ramp up its pace a bit before being dragged lower in some Big East tourney games. Both sides figure to be a bit overrated in the perimeter defense department, and TCU’s offensive rebounding tendencies should be respected.

BACK THE OVER 128.5 (-110).

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

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

The third-seeded UConn Huskies (22-8) meet the sixth-seeded Seton Hall Pirates (21-9) Thursday for a second-round tilt in the Big East Tournament. Tip-off from Madison Square Garden will be at 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Seton Hall vs. UConn odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The No. 20 Huskies earned a first-round bye after winning six of their last seven regular-season games. They’ll now face Seton Hall for the third time this season after splitting their first two meetings.

UConn is led by G R.J. Cole, who averaged 15.8 points per game and 4.1 assists per game, this season. F Adama Sanogo was second on the team with 15.3 points per game and 8.6 rebounds, nearly averaging a double-double.

Seton Hall got hot at the perfect time as winners of its last five games in the regular season and taking down Georgetown in the first round of the Big East Tournament.

It starts with senior G Jared Rhoden for the Pirates. He averaged 16.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season, but he only scored 14 and 15 points in two games against UConn.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Over/Under (O/U): 131.5 (O: -122 | U: -112)

Seton Hall vs. UConn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

UConn 67, Seton Hall 62

Money line

UConn is a legitimate contender this year that features a stout defense, athletic wing scorers and a heady point guard in Cole. However, the Pirates have given UConn some trouble in the last two seasons, winning two of their four meetings. I’m going to PASS on the money line with UConn (-205) andl look to the points.

Against the spread

The last 10 meetings between UConn and Seton Hall are split dead even 5-5 against the spread, though Seton Hall covered in their most recent meeting as a 5.5-point underdog.

However, I think the Huskies will cover the spread as long as Sanogo can stay out of foul trouble and they can find some consistency from 3-point range. I like UCONN -3.5 (-125).

Over/Under

The Over/Under is split 5-5 across UConn’s last 10 games. However, the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams. I like the UNDER 131.5 (-112) in this game, which is the opening matchup for UConn in its conference tournament. There could be some nerves to shake off early.

The first-round battle is slated for a 9:30 p.m. ET tip-off (FS1). Below, we look at the Georgetown vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Georgetown vs. Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 83, Georgetown 69

Money line

PASS. Seton Hall (-650) will cost 6.5 times the potential profit, and betting Georgetown (+360) is just throwing away money.

Against the spread

The cautionary note for Seton Hall bettors is the most recent meeting between the two teams. It was two games back for each squad as the Pirates failed to cover as 12.5-point favorites in their 73-68 home win.

In that game, Seton Hall, which forced 14 turnovers each of the two games prior and 14 again the following game, forced Georgetown into just 8 miscues. Plus, an SHU five, which has shot well from distance of late (37.2% since Jan. 24), went just 4-for-20 from beyond the arc. Even so, the Pirates led that game by 7-to-9 points for most of the last 12 minutes.

Figure on senior-laden Seton Hall putting youthful Georgetown out of its misery in this one … and by a four-possession margin, not two.

BACK THE PIRATES -9.5 (-122).

Over/Under

Two quicker-than-average paces. Two offenses with likable late-season trend lines. Two Unders during the regular season, and both can be picked at as outliers.

TAKE OVER 144.5 (-112).

Georgetown at Seton Hall odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgetown Hoyas (6-22, 0-17 Big East) and Seton Hall Pirates (18-9, 9-8) meet Wednesday in Newark, N.J. The contest at the Prudential Center is slated to tip off at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgetown vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Georgetown has reached the final week of the regular season without yet logging a Big East victory. The Hoyas are a poor-shooting, bad defensive team that hasn’t won since Dec. 15. Since that date, GU is 0-18, connecting on just 38.0% of its shots while allowing 79.9 points per contest.

The Pirates were ranked in the top-25 through much of the first half of the season. Seton Hall then went 3-5 over eight games in January. In February, SHU went 6-2; the Pirates closed out the month on a three-game win streak.
