Seton Hall vs Creighton Analysis

The Pirates’ season has spiraled out of control following a 9-1 start that featured wins over Michigan, Texas and Rutgers. After experiencing a COVID outbreak that canceled all action for well over two weeks, Kevin Willard’s team is just 4-6, coming in two games under .500 in Big East play. They’re actually looking up at the youngest Creighton squad in years since Greg McDermott has his team 5-4 in league games entering this matchup at the Prudential Center.

Walking the Plank

The Bluejays will host the Pirates in Omaha to end the regular season on March 5, so Seton Hall’s goal is to have a big month and put themselves in position for that game to put them in the 20-win club. Considering they play Xavier twice and visit Villanova and UConn, that’s an ambitious goal but one that requires them to continue a strong start to February against Creighton after holding off Georgetown 70-63 in D.C. on Tuesday.

Forward Tray Jackson matched a career-high with 21 points and hit five 3-pointers and there’s hope that Bryce Aiken will be able to return from a concussion soon, so the Pirates should have enough weapons to make a run. Aiken isn’t like to be back on Friday, so Seton Hall will need Myles Cale and Jamir Harris to join Jackson in supplying a perimeter threat.

Jays Learning How to Fly

Creighton comes off a 59-55 upset at UConn as a 10.5-point underdog and also owns a road win at Marquette. The Jays are hoping to have 7-footer Ryan Kalkbrenner back after he rolled his ankle and missed most of the second half in Hartford.

Seton Hall vs Creighton Prediction

Seton Hall has seen its last five games come in under the posted total, while the low side is 3-1 in Creighton’s last four games. Look for those trends to continue since Aiken’s continued absence means there aren’t enough reliable quality shooters on either side to trust here.

Play the under in Friday’s night’s Seton Hall vs Creighton showdown in Newark.
