Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Seton Hall Pirates prediction
It’s going to be interesting to see which team shows up because both Rutgers and Seton Hall have shown flashes, and they’ve had letdowns. The difference here is Seton Hall is at home and has far and away more offensive options. Rutgers relies heavily on defense and can go through scoring droughts due to a lack of guys able to create. Seton Hall has a handful of guys who can take over, they’re top-100 in field goal percentage, and they’re one of the best free throw shooting teams. I’ll lay the buckets.
