Seton Hall Coming Off Another Disappointing Loss

Seton Hall is coming off another disappointing loss in the last game. Seton Hall scored 72 points against Iowa and they ended up losing by 13 points. At halftime they were down 44-33 and they couldn’t ever bounce back. The top offensive player was Dre Davis and he put up 18 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Overall this season Seton Hall is averaging 76.3 points while their defense is giving up 65.3 points per game. The defense overall has been fine and they are going to need the defense to be better here. If the defense struggles, they could be upset in this game.
