Providence vs Seton Hall Prediction 

Seton Hall rolls into this matchup looking to extend their four game winning streak, but they will be on the road here. The Pirates are shooting 46% from the field and they have allowed 61 points or fewer in three of their last four games. Providence is coming off of an overtime loss to Butler, but they have won three of their last four. The Friars are shooting 49% from the field, but their defense is allowing nearly 85 points against per game. Providence has gone over 153.5 in six straight and with their defense struggling, I like the over again here.
