Seton Hall Pirates

The Pirates covered 9 of 12 road games in 2025-26, a rate only seven Division I teams beat, and 6 of 17 at home, where only 51 teams did worse. Their games went under the total 20 times in 33.

Better away than home

Seton Hall won 12 of 17 at home and covered six. The home misses came at every size of spread: 68-45 over New Haven at -25.5, 51-47 over Georgetown at -6.5, and outright losses as favorites to Butler (-278), DePaul (-360) and Villanova.

On the road the Pirates went 6-6 and covered nine. Getting points at Providence and Marquette they won both, and at Kansas State they won 78-67 at +124. Even losses at UConn (67-71 getting 12.5) and St. John’s (60-65 getting 11.5) covered.

Underdogs worth the points

As underdogs Seton Hall covered 9 of 12, 75%; 17 teams did better. The best price of the season came on a neutral floor in Maui: 85-74 over NC State at +320. As favorites they were 17-4 straight up and 10-11 against the number, so blind backing went nowhere: every one of the 33 games carried a moneyline, and a unit on each lost 0.34.

Defense and the under

The Pirates allowed 65.33 points a game; only 12 Division I teams allowed fewer. Twenty of their 33 games stayed under, 60.6%, and 49 teams went under more often.

The Big East pairs

St. John’s won all three meetings, ending the Pirates’ Big East tournament in the semifinal a day after Seton Hall had beaten Creighton 72-61, its second win in three over the Bluejays. DePaul and Villanova each won both meetings. Xavier and Providence lost both, with Seton Hall covering all four of those games.

By month

November and December: 12-2 straight up and 4.85 units won. January and February: 7-8, and 4.63 units handed back.
