Marquette-Seton Hall Betting Odds

  • Spread: Seton Hall -7.5
  • Money-Line: TBD
  • Total: 143

Odds Subject to Change

The opening betting line for the game’s spread favors Seton Hall by 7.5 points at home. The line for the total opened at 143 points.

Marquette has just one straight-up win in its last six games and it has failed to cover against the spread in 11 of its 14 Big East games this season. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last 10 conference games.

One of those losses (SU and ATS) was against Seton Hall on Dec.17. The 70-63 home defeat as three-point favorites was the Musketeers’ fifth-straight loss to the Pirates SU. They are 2-8 ATS over the past 10 meetings.

The Pirates are 3-4 SU (4-3 ATS) in their last seven conference games but they are coming off back-to-back road wins against Providence and Connecticut. The total has gone OVER in four of the last five games.

Seton Hall has lost its last two home games SU and ATS to Creighton and Villanova with the total going OVER in each contest. This followed a SU 5-1 (4-2 ATS) run at home this season.

Other than the recent 32-point loss to Villanova, the Golden Eagles have been playing teams tough with four other losses by a combined 21 points. The lone win in that six-game span was against Butler at home.

The Golden Eagles’ top two players this season have been forward Dawson Garcia and guard DJ Carton. Garcia leads the team in both points (13.2) and rebounds (6.7). Carton is averaging 12.7 points per game with a team-high 3.7 assists.

Marquette is averaging 71.1 points and 36.4 rebounds as a team. It is shooting 45.2% from the field and 34.8% from three-point range.

Defensively, the Golden Eagles have allowed more than 70 points in four of their last five games. They are giving up an average of 71.2 points a game overall.

At 8-5 SU in Big East play, Seton Hall is holding down fourth place in the conference standings. Sandro Mamukelashvili continues to come up big for the Pirates with a combined 42 points in the last two games.

The senior forward is averaging 17.9 points this season with 7.1 rebounds a game. Guards’ Jared Rhoden (14.5 points) and Myles Cale (12.9) are also a big part of the team’s offensive production.

Marquette-Seton Hall Predictions

The Pirates have gotten the best of things in this series over the past few seasons and Marquette will be hard-pressed to end the SU five-game losing streak on the road this Sunday.

Even with the Golden Eagles keeping most of their games competitive, I'm betting on Seton Hall while laying the 7.5 points in this matchup. Neither of these teams have been tearing it up on defense lately. I see that trend continuing on Sunday with the combined score going OVER the current total line.

  • Score Prediction: Seton Hall 81 Marquette 71
  • Best Bets: Seton Hall
  • Best Bets: OVER
