Fresh off one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season, the Pirates of Seton Hall (7-18, 2-12) take the show on the road to Milwaukee for a Big East tilt against the No. 16 Marquette Golden Eagles (19-6, 10-4).
Seton Hall rallied to end regulation and in overtime to knock off UConn, 69-68, Saturday afternoon. The Huskies led by seven with two minutes left in regulation and by five in overtime, but the Pirates rallied on both occasions to ultimately secure Seton Hall’s second conference win of the season.
Marquette snapped a 3-game losing streak with a 68-58 win at home over DePaul last Tuesday. Following three losses to ranked teams, the Golden Eagles took advantage of the cellar-dwellers in the Big East.

Expert picks & predictions for Seton Hall at Marquette
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Hall to stay within the number in the first half: Seton Hall 1H +10.5 (-120)
“Marquette is laying its biggest spread of the first-half all season when they host Seton Hall and you’d have to go back six games to find the last time that the Golden Eagles led at the half by 11 or more points. This is a big number for the first 20 minutes considering Marquette was on a three-game losing streak before beating DePaul by 10 points and leading by two points at the half. I lean Seton Hall in the first half +10.5.”
