Seton Hall vs DePaul Prediction

I’m on Seton Hall here. It’s not always pretty from the Pirates but it’s a lot more effective than what Depaul has been in conference play for the better part of the last 20 years since they joined the Big East. There are normally things you can count on in January for Depaul in the Windy City, snow, cold weather, wind, and Depaul getting beat up in conference play on the hardwood. Seton Hall’s far from a world-beater but they play slow and frustrating on offense and suffocating on defense. I think Seton Hall does more of the same to Depaul here as the Blue Demons take another frustrating L in this one. Give me the Pirates in this one.
