Cincinnati at Seton Hall

Cincinatti, as we know, comes off the bad loss to Villanova and looks to bounce back. However, analysts mention that the Villanova game was a must win game if this team was to make it to the tourney so this could simply not be a game which means too much to them. However, this team was on a roll winning at Syracuse - who is incredibly overrated - and beating Providence on the road. Yet, Seton Hall is a wounded team now and has the capacity to play great ball as they have not lost 3 in a row all season and I expect them to bounce back with the home court advantage in this game with a basic pick'em. Seton Hall is a top 60 team. No way around it, this team is the same team that went to NC State and won by double digits destroying a top 20 team. Now this team is dogged at home against a Cincinatti team that is just 3-6 on the road and 2-5 against top 50 teams. Granted Seton Hall has not faced anyone in the 25-50 range, but is 2-2 against top 100 teams at home and considering Cincy is a top 100 team on the road, this seems comparable. Keep in mind that Seton Hall has lost 3 straight including to Depaul and St. Johns on the road and a heartbraker to Notre Dame at home. Now, the face a Cincy team that comes off a bad loss to Villanova, which has almost but eliminated them from the tourney. However, Seton Hall is stil very much in the tourney hunt having beaten WVU, NC State and Syracuse. Seton Hall here for two stars.2
