Betting Trends for vs

The Pirates have one of the most talented guards in the country with Myles Powell as they senior guard is averaging 23.4 PPG, but they have been one of the top-scoring teams in the country as they are averaging 82 PPG. While Iowa State has been just as equally impressive in scoring the basketball, they are significantly worse on the defensive side of the court as they rank 234th in points allowed. Myles Powell is a difference-maker for Seton Hall, and I believe he will make enough plays to win this game. Final Score Prediction, Seton Hall Pirates win and cover ATS 77-72.
