Seton Hall vs. Creighton Prediction
I’m on Creighton in this one. The Bluejays are the better team, and while Seton Hall’s been on quite the run, going on the road to take down the Bluejays is going to be tough. I mean this Creighton team just demolished UConn at home and has beaten better by more this season. Give me Creighton laying the points here.
