The Iowa Hawkeyes and the Seton Hall Pirates meet in college basketball action from the Prudential Center on Wednesday night.
The Iowa Hawkeyes will try to build on their 112-71 win over North Carolina A&T last time out. Kris Murray led the Hawkeyes with 22 points on 7 of 11 shooting with 3 threes and a team-high 8 rebounds while Patrick McCaffery added 21 points on 8 of 15 shooting with a pair of triples. Payton Sandfort added 17 points on 7 of 10 shooting with 3 threes while Filip Rebraca added 12 points to cap off the scoring in double figures for Iowa in the win. Tony Perkins also dished out a team-high 5 assists as well in the win.
The Seton Hall Pirates will be out to build on their 80-44 beatdown win over Saint Peter’s last time out. Al-Amir Dawes and Dre Davis shared the team-high with 13 points apiece, with Dawes logging a team-high 10 rebounds for the double-double. Tyrese Samuel added 12 points on 5 of 11 shooting to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Seton Hall in the win while KC Ndefo added 6 rebounds as well in the winning effort.
Iowa is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 8-1 in their last 9 games after scoring 100 points or more in the previous game. Seton Hall is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the under Is 10-1 in their last 11 home games.
I could make the case for Iowa here that the Hawkeyes are really good offensively and when they’re making the outside shots, watch out. However, I’m sticking with Seton Hall here as the Pirates have been outstanding defensively in the first couple games of the season, and while this will be the toughest test early on for Seton Hall, their strength on the defensive end will rule out here and get them over the finish line against this solid Hawkeyes team. Give me Seton Hall laying the points.
