Seton Hall +2 1 unit
This is a bit of a hunch play. For one, I do think the wrong side is favored here though any line of 3+ would make for a solid play on the dog probably. I'll side with the Hall in Jersey tonight though as I think the team has played tougher than their results would indicate - and are overdue for one of those "where-did-this-come-from" type shooting nights from the outside. Mitchell/Harvey/Gause are all better shooters than their 3 point percentages would indicate - and their FT %'s bear that out. On top of that they are coming off a couple of matchups where they really didn't stand a chance - teams with frontcourts like Uconn and even Notre Dame just give the Hall far too many problems. Providence though doesn't have that great of a frontcourt and therefore the Hall should be more competivie on the glass - especially if Garcia could keep himself out of foul trouble for once (which is not the tallest task ever against this Providence team). I look for the Hall to make up whatever they lose on the battle of the glass by creating a few more turnovers and taking better care of the ball...if they do that and shoot it as well as I believe they will tonight they should win this one outright.
Good luck.
