Marquette Golden Eagles
Only one thing to say about Marquette this season: Markus Freakin’ Howard.

The man is on a tear. En Fuego. He’s averaging 27 points/game on 42.6/44.5/86.2 percentage shooting splits. The offense barely scores 75 points a game and this guy scores more than a third of them.
Howard shoots 44.5% from three on nine attempts per game. NINE. Not to mention he’s got an offensive rating of 112 and a true shooting% of 60.3.
Howard is used on 37.5% of Marquette’s offensive possessions (4th in the nation) and takes 40.8% of their shots (2nd in the nation). This man is literally the entire offense, and Marquette’s got a pretty damn good offense. The Golden Eagles are top-100 in offensive rating, top-50 in points/game, and top-40 in KenPom adjusted offense.
Unfortunately for the Golden Eagles, they can not field five Markus Howard’s on the court at the same time. They need four other players to play with him. And often that’s where ish hits the fan.
They’ve played five KenPom top-50 teams and lost to three of them. While they just did beat Villanova as a Home Dog, they also then dropped an OT thriller to Providence after being favored by 5.5.
Marquette’s got something special in Markus Howard, but it does not mean they are devoid of issues.
Seton Hall Pirates
Seton Hall is an elite defensive squad.
In their last five games, the Pirates are 5-0 SU and ATS, holding their opponents to an average of 60 points/game. And they’ve done it against really good teams: KenPom #7 Maryland, KenPom #64 DePaul, KenPom #46 Georgetown, and KenPom #41 Xavier.
Also notable is that they only lost to Michigan St. by three (when they were 5.5 point dogs) and held the number one offense in the nation to just 75 points, which is almost seven points below their season average.
Seton Hall is rated 9th in KenPom adjusted defense and are now 3-0 in Big East conference play.
The Pirates are rated 40th in KenPom adjusted offense, and are top-100 in the nation in both 2pt and 3pt FG%. Senior Guard Myles Powell leads the offensive attack, scoring 21 points/game on 41.4% shooting from the field.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Marquette are 2-7 ATS in their last nine conference games.
- Seton Hall are 8-0 ATS in their last eight conference games.
- Seton Hall are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall.
Free Marquette Golden Eagles vs. Seton Hall Pirates NCAAB Prediction: Home team with a stronger defense.
Marquette is a good basketball team. They score a lot of points and they score them very fast.
But when you have a supercharged offensive attack going on the road against a top-tier defense, the home side generally comes out on top. Pair that with Seton Hall’s top-10 defense, Marquette’s recent home loss and Seton Hall’s recent stretch of dominance, and this seems like a no-brainer.
Six points is a lot to give a college basketball team, but I still like the number here with the Pirates and will be betting them heavy. Seton Hall looks to be a force in both the Big East and Nationwide.
