Seton Hall vs Wagner Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with 1-2 records to start the season, and both have had issues scoring points. Seton Hall is scoring just 53.7 points per game and they are shooting 36.3% from the field. Wagner is only averaging 48.5 points per game against D-1 teams this year and they are shooting 39.9% from the field. Seton Hall should be able to get this win rather easily, but I think we are going to see another low scoring game. Take the under here.
