Seton Hall at Providence 2/3/21 - NCAA Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Seton Hall Pirates are set to visit Alumni Hall in Providence, Rhode Island for a Big East clash against the Providence Friars. The Seton Hall Pirates come into this matchup with a 9-8 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Villanova Wildcats, 80-72. Leading the way for the Seton Hall Pirates was senior guard Shavar Reynolds as he recorded 13 points and 3 assists. Senior forward Sandro Mamukelashvili had a productive outing for the Pirates as he pitched in 12 points and 9 rebounds.

The Seton Hall Pirates had a solid shooting game against the Villanova Wildcats as they connected on 26 of their 60 field goal attempts (43.3%), and they were solid from behind the three-point line (40%). The Seton Hall Pirates were even with the Villanova Wildcats in the turnover battle (11-11), but they edged out the Wildcats in the rebounding department (32-31).

The Providence Friars come into this matchup with a 9-8 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Georgetown Hoyas, 73-72. Leading the way for the Providence Friars was junior guard A.J. Reeves as he recorded 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Senior center Nate Watson had a productive outing for the Friars as he pitched in 12 points and 5 rebounds.

The Providence Friars struggled shooting the ball against the Georgetown Hoyas as they connected on 28 of their 66 field goal attempts (42.4%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (38.1%). The Providence Friars won the turnover battle against the Georgetown Hoyas (7-6), but they were dominated by the Hoyas in the rebounding department (47-33).

This should be a fun game as these are two teams who are fighting to be in the NCAA Tournament talk, but the Seton Hall Pirates have struggled as of recent with 3 consecutive losses. The Providence Friars might have one of the best duos in the country this season as David Duke is averaging 18.6 PPG and 6 RPG while Nate Watson is averaging 17.6 PPG and 6.7 RPG, and they should have a big game against a Seton Hall team that is allowing an average of 73.1 PPG through 11 Big East games. The Friars are in good shape considering they returned their starting PG a few games ago, and they have been awesome at home with a 5-1 record which should help them in this conference clash. Final Score Prediction, Providence Friars win and cover ATS 75-71.
