Why Seton Hall Will Cover The Spread/Win

Seton Hall’s defense has been a bright spot, especially given the offense’s struggles. They allow 68.5 points per game, 44.8% from the field, and 35.2% from behind the arc. Coleman has been the best rebounder, with 5.1 per game. Scotty Middleton leads the team in blocks with 0.7 per game. Finally, when it comes to on-ball defense, four players average at least one steal, with Dylan Addae-Wusu leading the team with 1.7 per game.

This defense has its hands full in this game because they can’t just shut down Creighton on the road, even with the defense traveling. They need more help entering a road game like this, and they won’t be able to match down low with Kalkbrenner for Creighton.

Addae-Wusu also leads the team in assists with 3.1 per game. This offense will have its hands full against Creighton in this matchup. The Blue Jays have been great on defense, and the Pirates’ only hope is that Coleman will have a giant game in this matchup in Omaha, which is possible.

They also have a 115.2 offensive rating on KenPom, 48th in all college basketball.
