Butler at Seton Hall odds, picks and prediction

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

The Butler Bulldogs (13-15, 6-11 Big East) meet the Seton Hall Pirates (16-9, 7-8) Wednesday at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Tip time is slated for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Butler vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Butler gave then-No. 9 Providence a scare Sunday before falling 71-70 in overtime at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs led by 19 early in the second half, but the visiting Friars came back to tie the game in regulation and win by 1 point in the extra session. BU now heads on the road, where it is 1-6 since Jan. 16.

The Pirates have struggled in Big East play after going 9-1 in non-conference games at the outset of the season. However, Seton Hall does boast a solid defense and strong offensive rebounding. SHU has held opposing fives at a 40.2% mark from the floor in going 6-2 over its last eight games.

Butler at Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 73, Butler 64

Money line

PASS.

Against the spread

Seton Hall is just 1-4 ATS over its last five home games.

Save for a clunker at St. John’s two games back, Butler has been quite good this month, although it doesn’t have the wins to show it. The Bulldogs are a relatively young team and could be growing into a better version of themselves before tournament season.

BACK THE BULLDOGS +9.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Butler plays a slow-paced game but is dragged into quicker tempos by superior teams. The Over is 8-1-1 in the Bulldogs’ last 10 games against opponents playing .600-or-better basketball.

Shot analytics and possession efficiency numbers peg the Butler offense as being due for an upswing.

TAKE THE OVER 129.5 (-107).

Seton Hall at UConn odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Seton Hall Pirates at UConn Huskies odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets in a Big East battle.

The Seton Hall Pirates (15-8, 6-7 Big East) visit Gampel Pavilion to take on the No. 24 UConn Huskies (17-7, 8-5) Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 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.

After splitting two Big East road games, a win at St. John’s Sunday and a loss at Xavier Friday, UConn returns home where it has had success, going 10-2 so far this season.

While 17-7 on the season, UConn is just 3-3 over its last 6, covering just once. The Huskies are 11-13 against the spread (ATS) overall.

Seton Hall isn’t much better, posting an even 11-11 ATS mark. The Pirates are just 4-4 straight up (SU) on the road with an uglier record of 4-8-1 ATS overall in conference games.

The Pirates are led by 6-foot-6 G Jared Rhoden, who is averaging 15.4 points per game (PPG).

Seton Hall at UConn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

UConn 76, Seton Hall 70

Money line

PASS.

The Big East is too competitive to bet a favorite at -250. At the same time, UConn is 10-2 SU at home. At +200, Seton Hall is the only reasonable play, but I wouldn’t bet on an upset here.

Against the spread

LEAN to UCONN -5.5 (-110). UConn has been the better team this season.

The issues that Seton Hall has had on the road make it tough to trust. Its ability to cover conference games has also been lacking and is a clear trend to stay away from. Plus, Seton Hall is 3-4 ATS against ranked opponents.

UConn has edges offensively, scoring 77.0 PPG compared to Seton Hall’s 74.5. Defensively, UConn allows 65.3 PPG; Seton Hall yields 67.5 PPG.

Considering the play within the conference and the consistency on the season, I’d side with the home team here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 136.5 (-110).

The best bet in this game is the Over.

UConn has been covering Overs at a high rate, 16-8 O/U this season. It’s a league-best 9-4 O/U in conference games, while Seton Hall is tied with a league-worst 5-8 O/U in Big East games.

Last time these two teams met (Jan. 8), they were knotted at 77 after regulation before UConn won at Seton Hall 90-87 in overtime.

With both teams having quality offenses, I’d bank on the OVER 136.5 (-110) in this one.

Xavier at Seton Hall odds, picks and prediction

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

The Xavier Musketeers (16-6, 6-5 Big East) meet the Seton Hall Pirates (14-7, 5-6) in a Wednesday night battle at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J, at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Xavier vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Xavier has lost three of its last five, dropping them from the top-25. The Musketeers fell to DePaul, 69-65, Saturday. The close score was nothing new for XU, which has seen five of its last eight games decided by 4 points or less.

The Pirates are just 5-6 over their last 11 games, but they head into Wednesday’s tilt off back-to-back victories. Seton Hall, which sports the nation’s 18th best 2-point field-goal defense (44.6%), held Georgetown and Creighton to just 63 and 55 points, respectively, over the two wins.

Xavier at Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Xavier 71, Seton Hall 70

Money line

Xavier and Seton Hall both play at above-average tempos. XU has performed well against teams with similar pacing. The Musketeers have also found success against teams yielding a couple too many offensive rebounds. SHU has trended that way in recent weeks; it has coughed up 10-plus offensive rebounds in four of its last five games.

The Musketeers are the better shooting team, and recent results on both sides have this price in a nice place. Tab this one as a near-pick ’em, and that makes for VALUE ON XAVIER (+155).

Against the spread

The Pirates are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games against teams playing .600 ball. The road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five series meetings. The
Underdog is 13-3 ATS in the last 16.

TAKE XAVIER +3.5 (-107).

Over/Under

PASS: signals are waving this one up, down and sideways.

Creighton at Seton Hall odds, picks and prediction

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

On Friday night, the Creighton Bluejays (13-7) will travel to the Prudential Center to take on the Seton Hall Pirates (13-7). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Creighton vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Creighton is coming off a 4-point win over UConn on Tuesday.

The Bluejays covered as 10.5-point underdogs. In 9 straight Big East games, Creighton is just 5-4 with two losses to Xavier and one to Villanova and Butler. The Bluejays are 10-10 against the spread (ATS) this season.

They’re 6-3 ATS in conference games. As for Seton Hall, the Pirates are just 2-7-1 ATS. The Pirates aren’t covering the spread by an average of 4.9 points in conference play.

The Pirates have covered 2 of their last 7. However, they are 8-3 at home and are a borderline top-25 team, so they’ll undoubtedly be favorites on their home court.

Creighton at Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 67, Creighton 64

Money line

PASS on the money line.

While Seton Hall should get the win, a -260 value in Big East game is far too much. With Creighton just 3-3 straight up in road play, I wouldn’t side with their +205 either.

Against the spread

BET on CREIGHTON +5.5 (-107).

The Bluejays may not have had the most success in Big East play, but they’ve been covering the spread. They’re 4-2 in Big East play as underdogs.

They’ve been so good this season behind their 86th-ranked defense, one that allows just 65.7 points per game. They’ve also held opponents under 40% shooting this season.

Seton Hall’s strength is also its defense, and with two defensive-minded teams, the margin of difference should be slim as fewer points will go on the board.

With the Pirates 3-7 ATS in their last 10 and just 4-6 straight up, I’ll side with the Bluejays to cover here.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 134.5 (-107).

While this is low total, both teams play at a slow pace and are more focused defensively. This season, Creighton is 6-13-1 O/U and Seton Hall is 7-12 O/U. Creighton is 3-6 O/U and Seton Hall is 3-7 O/U in conference play.

Given the trends, the Under is the only way to play the total, although I’d prefer the Creighton spread in this Big East battle.

St. John’s at Seton Hall odds, picks and prediction

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

The St. John’s Red Storm (10-7, 2-4 Big East) travel to Walsh Gymnasium Monday to take on the Seton Hall Pirates (12-5, 3-4). Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the St. John’s vs. Seton Hall odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

St. John’s welcomed Seton Hall Saturday and lost at home by 6 points as a 1-point underdog. Seton Hall G Myles Cale went for a game-high 21 points and F Alexis Yetna ended with 16 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.

St. John’s had just two players who reached double-digits in scoring and no one topped 13 points. St. John’s is just 6-11 against the spread (ATS) on the season, 2-4 ATS in conference play and 2-2 ATS as a road underdog.

Seton Hall is 8-8 ATS on the season but just 2-5 ATS in Big East play.

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

Prediction

Seton Hall 72, St. John’s 66

Money line

PASS on the money line.

Big East basketball with two competent teams makes laying the price tag on the home favorite simply not worth it. Similarly, betting a road underdog that’s the inferior side doesn’t make much sense.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to ST. JOHN’S +7.5 (-115).

While they failed to cover at home a couple of days ago, it’s tough to win against the same team twice and we’re just asking them to hang close with the Pirates in this scenario.

Seton Hall has played 7 conference games in a row and only one has been more than a 7-point difference — a 15-point Pirates road victory against Butler. They’re just 2-5 ATS over their last seven games.

While the Pirates managed just 60 points on Saturday, they’re averaging 75.3 points per game in conference play. They’ll get back on track Monday and that should help keep this game competitive.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 150.5 (-107).

While St. John’s may score at a high rate, they were struggling offensively against Seton Hall Saturday.

Seton Hall has allowed opponents to shoot just 30.1% from deep on the season and its opponents average 66.7 points per game. Even in Big East play, where it hasn’t been great, it’s giving up just 73.6 points per game while scoring 74.7 points per game.

Seton Hall is just 7-9 O/U this season. While St. John’s is 9-8 O/U on the season, it’s just 3-3 O/U in Big East action.

Considering the recent meeting between these sides wasn’t even close to the Over, I’d rather bank on the Seton Hall defense coming to play at home.

Seton Hall at St. John’s odds, picks and prediction

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

The Seton Hall Pirates (11-5, 2-4 Big East) visit the Big Apple to face the St. John’s Red Storm (10-6, 2-3) Saturday in a Big East battle. Tip-off at Madison Square Garden is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Seton Hall vs. St. John’s odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Seton Hall has lost back-to-back road games, falling at DePaul Jan. 13 and at Marquette Jan. 15, and has lost three straight against the spread (ATS). The Pirates are 7-8 ATS and 7-8 Over/Under (O/U) with the sixth-toughest schedule, according to USA TODAY’s Jeff Sagarin.

St. John’s has lost three of its past four games (2-2 ATS), including an 87-64 loss at Creighton Wednesday. The Johnnies are 6-10 ATS and 9-7 O/U with the 172nd-toughest schedule.

These teams split their two regular-season meetings last season, but Seton Hall beat St. John’s in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals.

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

Prediction

St. John’s 78, Seton Hall 74

Money line

SPRINKLE on ST. JOHN’S (+115) with the plan of betting more on the Johnnies plus the points.

St. John’s wing and Big East-leading scorer, SF Julian Champagnie, struggled immensely versus Creighton earlier this week, connecting on just 7 of 21 field-goal attempts. But I expect a bounce-back performance from Champagnie against a team he’s played well against.

Champagnie averaged 23.0 points per game (PPG) on 50.0% field-goal shooting and 6.0 rebounds per game in the two regular-season meetings with Seton Hall last season. St. John’s will go as far as Champagnie can take it this season.

Seton Hall will feel the loss of PF Sandro Mamukelashvili, who was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Mamukelashvili led the Pirates in scoring in all three games vs. the Johnnies last season, including a 32-point performance in Seton Hall’s 77-68 victory at home Dec. 11, 2020.

Again, SPRINKLE on ST. JOHN’S (+115) for a small wager if at all because the Johnnies’ spread is the sharper play.

Against the spread

Definitely BET ST. JOHN’S +1.5 (-105) heavier than or instead of the money line because this is a better spot for the Johnnies than the Pirates.

Seton Hall is 2-3 ATS on the road, 1-5 ATS versus Big East foes and 1-5 ATS in day games.

Since St. John’s hired head coach Mike Anderson before 2019-20, the Johnnies are 2-1 straight-up (SU) and 3-0 ATS at home versus Seton Hall.

ST. JOHN’S +1.5 (-105) is my favorite wager in this game.

Over/Under

PASS.

St. John’s plays at the fastest pace and averages the most PPG in the Big East and Seton Hall should be able to get easy second-chance points since the Johnnies are a bad rebounding team.

However, the Pirates are 1-4 O/U on the road, the Johnnies are 1-5 O/U in their last six games versus teams with a winning record and the Under has cashed in four straight Seton Hall-St. John’s meetings.

Texas at Seton Hall odds, picks and prediction

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

The No. 11 Texas Longhorns (6-1) and No. 25 Seton Hall Pirates (7-1) meet as part of the Big-12-Big East Battle Thursday. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. ET at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Below, we look at the Texas vs. Seton Hall odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

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

The Longhorns have won five straight games, each by a margin of 13 or more points, since losing to then-No. 1 Gonzaga Nov. 13. Texas has been spectacular on defense holding foes to just 55.3 points per game (fourth NCAA-I). Thursday’s contest will mark the Longhorns’ first road game since the setback against the Bulldogs.

The Pirates enter Thursday’s battle on a four-game win streak. Seton Hall has been a strong shooting team (46.6% from the field, 75.4% from the free-throw line), and its 82.5 PPG rank 27th in the nation. The Pirates are paced by a veteran core of eight upperclassmen.

Texas at Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 66, Seton Hall 65

Money line

Consider a partial-unit play on SETON HALL (+105). The lean toward the Pirates is small, but in a low-scoring environment and with Texas traveling halfway across the country (and for the first time in nearly a month), a +105 or +115 edge on Seton Hall is an acceptable risk.

SHU’s perimeter defense (27.1% defending 3s) is a big key in turning this one into a lower-scoring pick-’em.

Against the spread

The Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games following three or more consecutive home games.

Pair the above play with SETON HALL +1.5 (-110) as a bit of insurance.

Pirates G Bryce Aiken (illness) is listed as questionable for this game. Aiken is SHU’s fourth-leading scorer (9.9 PPG) and is a solid defender who was impressive in games against Michigan and Ohio State. Both those games are key comps in building a case for the Pirates in this one. Following his status is suggested as it could sway points and prices a bit.

Over/Under

The Under is 6-2 in the Longhorns’ last eight games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600 and is 4-0 in the Pirates’ last four games following a straight-up win of more than 20 points.

Seton Hall plays a fast tempo, but they will have their pace checked by a slowed-down Longhorn five in this one. Both veteran defenses work hard to contest every shot, and most of the damage on the Prudential Center scoreboard will be done from inside the arc.

The strongest play in this game is the UNDER 135.5 (-110).

Seton Hall at St. John’s: Three things to know

Seton Hall wrapped up its regular season on a 4-game losing streak, the last two by double digits, and failed to cover in six straight games. The Pirates’ last regular-season loss was to the Johnnies 81-71 Saturday.
St. John’s became the 4-seed in the Big East Tournament and earned a first-round bye after its win over Seton Hall. The Red Storm’s win last week over the Pirates snapped a 3-game losing skid to their conference foes.
The Johnnies won a few Big East season awards such as head coach Mike Anderson earning Coach the Year and PG Posh Alexander being named Freshman of the Year and a co-Defensive Player of the Year. Also, Seton Hall senior PF Sandro Mamukelashvili was co-winner of Big East Player of the Year.

Seton Hall at St. John’s: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

St. John’s 78, Seton Hall 72

Money line (ML)

With all due respect to the three awesome basketball players that split the Big East Player of the Year awards, Mamukelashvili included, St. John’s sophomore F Julian Champagnie is the best player in the conference.

Champagnie was 1st in points per game, free-throw percentage, offensive box +/-, 2nd in win shares and usage rate, 3rd in PER and tied for 6th in rebounds per game.

St. John’s upset Seton Hall last week without Alexander who’s been sidelined the past two games with a thumb injury. Well, Alexander has told the media he plans on playing Thursday and his defensive prowess gives opposing offenses fits.

Finally, while it’s technically not a true home game, St. John’s does have a leg up with the Big East Tournament being held at Madison Square Garden, where the Johnnies do play some regular-season home games.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the spread unless it gets up to St. John’s (+2.5). At that point, I’d prefer just taking the points with the Johnnies as the wiser play.

Over/Under (O/U)

I lean UNDER 152.5 (-110) for a tiny wager since the Under has cashed in three straight Seton Hall-St. John’s games and five of the past six.

However, I’m not bullish on the Under because St. John’s is tied for the highest cover rate in the Big East and a plus-6.3-point total margin, which is by far the most in the conference.

Seton Hall at St. John’s: Three things to know

Before their 81-67 whooping of Providence Wednesday, the Red Storm’s NCAA tournament hopes were damaged after losing three of their previous four games (2-3 ATS in their last five games).
Seton Hall has a much better tournament resume with the Big East Tournament tipping off next week but has also struggled recently. The Pirates enter on a 3-game losing streak and haven’t covered in their last five contests.
St. John’s was handled by Seton Hall 77-68 as 5-point road underdogs in their first meeting of the season Dec. 11. Pirates forward Sandro Mamukelashvili erupted for 32 points on 12-of-18 shooting with 9 rebounds and 3 assists.

Seton Hall at St. John’s: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

St. John’s 86, Seton Hall 79

Money line (ML)

BET ST. JOHN’S (-105), who’ve been a great home team this season. The Johnnies have a 10-3 record at home, 9-4 ATS and are outscoring teams 81.7 to 74.5 on average in those games.

Also, St. John’s kept the first meeting against Seton Hall within a couple of possessions late but were unable to sink a crucial bucket.

Furthermore, the Pirates attempted 18 more free throws and the Johnnies are a pretty good 3-point shooting team but only connected on 19% of their 3-point attempts in the first meeting.

Both of those statistics should regress back to the mean in this game, and I like ST. JOHN’S (-105) to get revenge against Seton Hall at home.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the spread unless St. John’s gets to +2.5, then take the points instead of the money line. However, since the money line and spread are nearly identical, there are applicable ATS trends in this game.

St. John’s is 8-3 ATS with a plus-4.3-point spread differential as home underdogs since head coach Mike Anderson took over the program last season. Plus, the Johnnies have the 4th-best cover rate in the Big East when playing conference foes since the beginning of 2019.

Over/Under (O/U)

The recent total trends of these two teams point to the Under yet BetMGM opened this Seton Hall-St. John’s total 5.5 points higher than the previous game despite the Under cashing in two straight and four of the last five meetings.

This intel has me lean towards the OVER 153.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit because it feels like the House is trying to goad bettors into taking the Under.

Money line: Villanova -225 (bet $225 to win $100) | Seton Hall +180 (bet $100 to win $180)

Over/Under: 141.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Villanova at Seton Hall: Three things to know

‘Nova returns to action after a Thursday postponement. The Wildcats’ first game since last Saturday comes against a Seton Hall team that has played them as tough as anyone this season. Villanova scraped by Seton Hall 76-74 Jan. 19, in a game contested within four points most of the way.
Seton Hall has lost three of its last four games, but those losses came against ‘Nova and current No. 14 Creighton and two of them were by a combined six points. The Pirates’ scoring punch has been impressive at times. Overall, SHU is averaging 75.3 points per game to rank fourth in the Big East. Over their last three games, the Pirates are averaging 77 PPG on the strength of a 52.2% mark from the floor.
F Sandro Mamukelashvili had a big game for the Pirates when they played Villanova earlier this month. Mamukelashvili stuffed the stat sheet with 23 points, nine rebounds, and five assists. The 6-foot-11 senior leads Seton Hall in scoring at 17.9 PPG.

Villanova at Seton Hall: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Villanova 75, Seton Hall 70

Money line (ML)

Villanova was coming off nearly a month-long layoff before its first meeting with Seton Hall. The Wildcats led that game by 9 with seven minutes to play. The layoff may have contributed to ‘Nova being gassed in nearly coughing up all of that lead. Also, the Pirates shot 55.8% from the floor in that game.

Figure on a more complete game from Villanova in this contest. The Wildcats are the lean but only at a price better than -210. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

Villanova is 5-0 ATS in its last five as a road favorite and 7-1-1 in such games against teams playing .600 basketball. Look for the Wildcats to have a significant edge in 3-point shooting and in the turnover margin. Even in a tough road game, the advantage should get ‘Nova well into two-possession territory on the scoreboard.

For the sake of betting only with value attached, PASS unless you can get a an even price (-110) at 4 or fewer points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The market has been undervaluing the Wildcats offense. BACK THE OVER 141.5 (-110).
