DePaul Betting Form
DePaul enters tonight with momentum after a thrilling 72-71 upset over Creighton. The DePaul Blue Demons stats and results show a team led by CJ Gunn (13.8 PPG) and NJ Benson, who dominated the paint with 23 points and 10 rebounds in their last outing. Coach Chris Holtmann’s squad has been a “spread-killer” lately, covering in 6 of their last 10 games.
The DePaul injury report remains a significant hurdle. The Blue Demons are without Amsal Delalić (ACL) and Jeremy Lorenz (hip), both of whom are out for the season. Depth is thin in the frontcourt, meaning NJ Benson will likely have to play heavy minutes against a physical Seton Hall interior.
Seton Hall Betting Form
The Pirates are one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, ranking 15th nationally in points allowed (65.0 PPG). The Seton Hall schedule and stats highlight the play of Adam “Budd” Clark, who leads the team with 12.5 points and 4.8 assists per game. Seton Hall is coming off a 63-56 road win over Butler, where AJ Staton-McCray led the way with 19 points.
The Seton Hall injury report lists Patrick Suemnick as questionable with a shoulder injury. However, the Pirates’ core rotation is largely healthy. Their defense is their identity, forcing 14.8 turnovers per game and holding opponents to just 40.2% shooting from the floor. At the Prudential Center, that defensive pressure often shifts into a higher gear.
DePaul vs Seton Hall Matchup Breakdown
This game is a rematch of a defensive struggle. In their previous meeting, DePaul forced 13 Seton Hall turnovers and blocked 10 shots. Tonight, the setting changes to Newark, where the Pirates are 12-4.
The key matchup will be NJ Benson vs. Stephon Payne. Benson was the difference-maker against Creighton, but Seton Hall’s elite steal rate (9.5 per game) often disrupts teams that rely heavily on post-entry passes. If Layden Blocker and CJ Gunn can limit turnovers against the Pirates’ press, DePaul has the scoring depth to stay competitive.
DePaul vs Seton Hall Predictions and Best Bets
While DePaul has the psychological edge of a previous win, their 1-7 road record is hard to ignore. However, 8.5 points is a generous cushion for a DePaul team that has kept games tight against top-tier Big East competition. Expect Seton Hall to win a grinding, low-scoring affair, but DePaul’s ability to cover as an underdog (60% ATS this season) makes the points attractive.
Regarding the total, 131.5 is a low bar, but these are two of the slowest-paced teams in the Big East. Seton Hall ranks near the bottom of the country in possessions per game (64.8). With both teams ranking in the top 100 defensively, points will be at a premium.
Best Bet: DePaul +8.5 (-110).
