Seton Hall Pirates vs. Creighton Bluejays Predictions

The Seton Hall Pirates are heading into the game with a solid season record, looking to improve their standing in the Big East Conference. They’ve shown resilience throughout the season, but they face a tough challenge against the Creighton Bluejays, who boast an impressive home record and are known for their sharpshooting from beyond the arc. The Pirates will need to leverage their defensive prowess to contain Creighton’s offensive threats, particularly from players like Baylor Scheierman, who leads his team in points and rebounds per game.

Creighton, on the other hand, is coming off a strong performance with a two-game winning streak and will look to capitalize on their home-court advantage. The Bluejays’ offense is ranked 39th in the nation for average points per game, and they are also among the top teams for three-point field goals made. Seton Hall, while struggling with three-point shooting, will rely on the leadership and all-around play of guard Kadary Richmond, who has been a key contributor in points, rebounds, and assists for the Pirates.

This game is not just about the star players, as both teams have depth that could prove pivotal in the outcome. Seton Hall’s defense will be tested against Creighton’s high-powered offense, and the battle on the boards could be a deciding factor. With both teams looking to secure a better seed for the Big East tournament, expect a fiercely competitive game with strategic adjustments and high-intensity play from tip-off to the final buzzer.

Seton Hall Pirates vs. Creighton Bluejays Pick

The Creighton Bluejays are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. With a strong home record of 12-2, they have demonstrated their ability to dominate at the CHI Health Center Omaha. Their offensive firepower is significant, ranking 39th in the nation for average points per game and being among the top teams for three-point field goals made. The Bluejays’ performance from beyond the arc, led by Baylor Scheierman, will likely be a key factor in overcoming Seton Hall’s defense. Additionally, Creighton’s recent form, including a two-game winning streak, suggests they have the momentum needed to secure another victory.

While Seton Hall has shown they can compete with top teams, their inconsistency on the road and struggles with three-point shooting could hinder their ability to keep pace with Creighton’s scoring. The Pirates’ 5-4 road record and 5-6 against the spread on the road further indicate potential difficulties in an away setting. Despite Seton Hall’s strong defensive efforts, Creighton’s balanced attack and high-scoring offense are expected to prevail, making the Creighton Bluejays moneyline bet the more compelling choice for this game.

The Pick: Creighton Bluejays -395. (DraftKings)
