Seton Hall vs Marquette Betting Prediction
Seton Hall comes into this game on a two game losing streak and they are unsure about their best player’s availability for this game. Kadary Richmond didn’t play in their loss to Providence earlier this week and they really need him if they want to keep this game close. Marquette has won three games in a row and they will be at home for this game. We have seen the Golden Eagles score at least 86 points in two of their last three games and I think they are going to continue to roll here. Marquette is a very solid home team and with Richmond’s status up in the air, I am going to take Marquette.
