Seton Hall Pirates Betting Trends

While Xavier utilized its length to overcome the Buckeyes, Seton Hall counted on its long-range ability to take care of the Wolverines. Displaying balanced scoring, the Pirates were effective from beyond the arc (9-of-30, 30%) to stymie Michigan on the road at Crisler Arena as 8-point underdogs.

In a rematch of the 1989 NCAA championship game won by Michigan, it was Seton Hall’s first victory on the road over a non-conference team ranked among the top five. Overall, it was the first victory by the Pirates against a top-five team since knocking off Temple in the second round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament.

Seton Hall-Ohio State Prediction

This will be the sixth meeting between Ohio State and Seton Hall. The Buckeyes hold a 3-2 edge. The Pirates won the most recent meeting, a 75-59 victory on December 20, 2003.

Seton Hall are no slouches. The Pirates played in four straight NCAA Tournaments from 2016-19. Last year, a COVID-19 outbreak within the team basically scuttled their season.

The Buckeyes are playing without forward Justice Sueing. He’s out indefinitely with an abdominal injury. Forward Seth Towns (back) is also out for Ohio State.
