I’m taking the points with Providence on Tuesday night. Seton Hall has dug themselves a hole and they’re no longer clinging to an at-large berth in all likelihood. The Pirates have dropped two straight and three of four. They have struggled on the offensive end more often than not over the past 11 games, scoring an average of just 61.5 ppg. Take away a “bust-out” 94 point performance against St. John’s and that average dips to 58.3 ppg over their last 10. Hard to believe with the triumvirate of Jordan Theodore, Herb Pope, and Fuquan Edwin all wearing Seton Hall colors. But the three do have a tendency to get into foul trouble, not to mention they have been known to lose focus for key stretches of games. The Friars have been a tad under-valued, covering three in a row and seven of their last 10. They held Seton Hall to 34.3% shooting in this season’s lone meeting, but couldn’t overcome a big disadvantage from behind the arc, losing 66-57. They held the “big 3″ to 17 of 46, 37% shooting and I expect more of the same in this one. The Pirates have dropped nine of their last 13 games and I believe they’re going to be in a serious fight tonight. I’m grabbing the points with Providence on Tuesday night. Thanks! GL!
