SETON HALL vs RUTGERS PREDICTION

This rivalry matchup is usually a close game within 5 points of each other with Seton Hall winning 5 of the last 6 matches. Seton Hall will be hungry for a win after the Iowa State loss while Rutgers has hardly faced any true competition outside of their conference.  Seton Hall will be prepared after resting for almost a week.  Seton Hall will not have an easy battle here considering Mamukelashvilli is out for this one but they will be able to cover this spread as long as Powell can put up his averages.
