Seton Hall vs Providence Prediction

I’m with Providence here. It looks as if the Pirates will be down Coleman and Jenkins as their top two scorers, and that’s a big loss in a matchup where points are likely going to be at a premium as it is. You’ve really seen the impact those absences have had in a lot of Seton Hall’s recent losses that have ended up being blowouts. Providence isn’t normally a team that blows teams away offensively, but they may not need to do a whole lot to demolish Seton Hall here. Give me the Friars in this one.
