Butler vs Seton Hall Prediction 

Butler comes into this matchup on a lengthy losing streak and they are looking for their first conference win, but they will be at home for this game. The Bulldogs have allowed 80 and 84 points in their last two games, but they do have the higher shooting percentage in this matchup. Seton Hall is shooting just 40.8% from the field this year and they are scoring 64.6 points per game. The Pirates have allowed at least 91 points in two of their last three games, but they have been competitive in three of their last four. I don’t like either team in this matchup, but I am definitely not laying this many points with this Butler team. Take Seton Hall and the points in this contest.
