The Georgia Bulldogs have shown a commendable mix of grit and skill through the season. With a scoring average of 75.0 points per game, offensive output is noteworthy, though it's somewhat offset by defensive problems, allowing 74.7 points per game. Noah Thomasson, leading the charge with an average of 13.1 points per game, alongside Justin Hill's 3.2 assists and Russel Tchewa's dominant presence in rebounds, exemplifies the balanced attack and defense Georgia aims to bring. 

The Bulldogs journey to the NIT semifinals, marked by victories against formidable opponents, showcases the capability to step up in crucial moments. However, a reliance on Thomasson for scoring and the potential absence of key players due to injuries could play pivotal roles in the matchup with Seton Hall.

The Seton Hall Pirates have exhibited a compelling blend of offensive capacity and defensive toughness. Averaging 72.8 points per game while restricting opponents to 69.5 points per game, highlights the Pirates well-rounded game plan. Kadary Richmond, leading in points, assists, and steals, showcases the multifaceted threat he poses to opponents. 

Coupled with Jaden Bediako's rebounding ability and defensive capabilities, Seton Hall looks to assert dominance early on. Despite the uncertainties surrounding Elijah Hutchins-Everett and Isaiah Coleman due to injuries, the Pirates depth and recent performances, particularly the double-digit victory over UNLV, signal a readiness for the challenge with Georgia.
