The Seton Hall Pirates are one of the most fascinating teams in the country as they are a one-man show with Myles Powell, but they are still one of the top teams in the country. The Pirates have been amazing scoring the basketball in 5 Big East games as they are averaging 76.4 PPG, and the majority of their success can be accredited to senior guard Myles Powell as he is averaging 22 PPG and 5.1 RPG. The St. John’s Red Storm doesn’t necessarily have the go-to scorer that Seton Hall has, and we have seen them suffer during conference play as they bring a 1-4 Big East record into his matchup while only averaging 64.6 PPG in those games. The Pirates on the other hand have been very good on the defensive side of the court as they are holding their opponents to an average of 64.8 PPG, and they shouldn’t have much of a problem shutting down the Red Storm. Expect Powell to take this game over late and help Seton Hall win this game without much of a problem. Final Score Prediction, Seton Hall Pirates win and cover ATS 75-68.
