Oklahoma Sooners vs Seton Hall Pirates Point Spread Picks

A pair of 4-1 teams square off in Orlando, Florida, in the ESPN Events Invitational. Both played yesterday with Oklahoma shutting down Nebraska, 69-56, allowing 42% shooting. The Sooners are allowing 55.8 points per game and no one has topped 60 points. Oklahoma is 63-38 UNDER the total on the road after having won four of five, as well as 57-35 UNDER away from home after playing three straight as a favorite. Seton Hall's defense is allowing 58.8 points per contest after topping Memphis yesterday, 70-69. With Seton Hall on a 25-11 run UNDER the total, look for a fierce defensive duel. Take Oklahoma/Seton Hall UNDER the total.

The Seton Hall Pirates took a bad loss in overtime to Mercer, but overall have started 3-1. They get a chance to redeem that loss as they will face a 4-0 Oklahoma team at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. There will be a huge contingent there for Seton Hall as this is not far from their campus. This one will serve as more of a home game for the Pirates, and I think that gives them an edge. The Pirates have shot the ball very well with their top six scorers all at 43% or higher. The Pirates have enough offense, and that old Big East mentality of playing physical defense to stay with the Sooners here. I like Seton Hall here in the mild upset in what amounts to a home game. Go with Seton Hall on the moneyline.
