Premium Pick

Seton Hall is a .500 team on the road and this is a tough situational spot. Seton Hall was favored at home over Saint Johns on Saturday but failed to cover, needing a last-second three-pointer to win. They turned it over 16 times and shot 42.2% as a team, including 4-of-18 from long range. That won't cut it against a Xavier squad that went 28-5 a year ago earning a No. 1 seed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. They show no signs of slowing down this season with four players averaging in double-digit scoring, along with two more at 9.5 points or better. Leading scorer Quentin Goodin is averaging 8.3 assists and 3.8 steals over his last four games. Xavier took both meetings last season, 73-64 and 102-90, and has won four in a row over Seton Hall at home. Play Xavier on the moneyline.
