MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES VS. SETON HALL PIRATES BETTING CONCLUSION

Seton Hall was really missing Bryce Aiken, who remains in the concussion protocol since the first meeting with Marquette back on Jan. 1 when he dropped 28 points. He was rolling right along with 22 or more points in three straight games before the injury, so his loss has been huge for the offense. It showed in a 21-point loss to the Johnnies last time out.

Marquette eased past Seton Hall in the first meeting when the Pirates were 100 percent. They're not fully healthy right now, and Aiken will be missed. The Golden Eagles are red hot, rattling off six straight wins and covers, and catching five is a nice value for the road side. Remember, the road team is 23-8-1 ATS in the past 32 meetings in this series, with the underdog covering 20 of the past 26 in this series. Look for that trend to continue.
