The Seton Hall Pirates will be on the road to take on the Butler Bulldogs on Tuesday, January 4th.
The tip-off is set for 8:00 ET from Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The Pirates started off as a 3.5 point favorite and that number has not budged. The total has gone from 130.5 to 131.
Seton Hall Pirates
Seton Hall has started off the year pretty well. I have liked a lot of what I have seen out of this team so far.
The Pirates lost to the Villanova Wildcats on Saturday by a score of 73-67. It was a close game throughout, but the away team was able to make a few more key plays and get the win. With that said, this group can learn from that loss.
We will start to learn more about this team when they face teams from the Big East on a more consistent basis. Playing teams from that conference is never an easy thing, but I still feel this group can have success.
In the loss to Villanova, the leading scorer for this team was Bryce Aiken, who had 22 points and 2 assists. Also, Jared Rhoden had 13 points and 6 boards.
Butler Bulldogs
Other teams may be getting more attention, but this Butler team has been impressive this year. If they keep up their good play, they will eventually be ranked.
The Bulldogs come into this game with a record of 8-4. These guys have played their fair share of easy games, but they have also played some stiff competition. Going against a team like the Pirates will certainly be a big challenge for them.
This squad last played on December 29th, where they beat the DePaul Blue Demons by a score of 63-59. It was nothing flashy, but they got the job done, which is the most important thing for them.
The offense did not play all that great in their last game, but I really liked the way they played defense. When you allow a team to score under 60 points in college basketball, you typically win those ball games.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Seton Hall is 6-12 ATS in their last 18 games against Butler.

Free Seton Hall Pirates vs. Butler Bulldogs NCAAB Summary:
This is a game where Seton Hall should take care of their business in, but it will be no easy task for them.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Butler ATS
Both of these teams are solid, but I do give the edge to the Pirates. At this point in time, I just feel they have more talent on the floor.
With that said, I am not sold on Seton Hall walking in there and covering this number. I expect the Bulldogs to give them everything they have in this ball game.
I understand that 3.5 is not a huge number to lay with the away team here, but I do not love it. I can see this game being a classic Big East Rivalry and the final score is very close. If you like the Bulldogs, definitely look for the hook.
I am going with the Bulldogs getting the 3.5 points here.
