💰 Moneyline: Marquette -2500 / Seton Hall +1100 | Total: 134.5 (-115 over / -105 under)
Seton Hall has yet to win a road game this season, and their offensive struggles make them an easy target for Marquette’s aggressive defense. Marquette forces turnovers at an elite rate, and Seton Hall’s weak shooting won’t help them keep pace. The Golden Eagles should take control early and cruise to an easy cover at home.
Key betting trends:
Seton Hall: 10-15 ATS, 0-8 SU on the road.
Marquette: 11-14 ATS, 5-2 SU at home in Big East play.
Head-to-Head: Marquette won the last matchup 76-59 on the road.
