What to Know

After two games on the road, the #10 Seton Hall Pirates are heading back home. They will take on the Providence Friars at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Prudential Center. Seton Hall is coming into the contest hot, having won eight in a row.

Things were close when the Pirates and the St. John's Red Storm clashed on Saturday, but the Pirates ultimately edged out the opposition 82-79. The Pirates can attribute much of their success to G Myles Powell, who had 29 points along with six rebounds, and G Quincy McKnight, who had 20 points and five assists along with seven boards.

Speaking of close games: Providence was close but no cigar on Saturday as they fell 78-74 to the Creighton Bluejays. One thing holding the Friars back was the mediocre play of G Alpha Diallo, who did not have his best game; he finished with only eight points on 3-for-13 shooting in his 35 minutes on the court.

The Pirates are the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (9-3), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Seton Hall got away with a 65-63 win when the two teams previously met in January of last year. Will they repeat their success, or does Providence have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
