Pittsburgh at Seton Hall

Pittsburgh Coach Jamie Dixon knows the value of defense and that has keyed this run for the Panthers, winning four of the last five games. They allowed 63 points the last game, but lost at South Florida as the offense went cold on the road again shooting .346%. The UNDER is 9-1 in the Panthers’ last 10 games as a road underdog, as well as 10-3 UNDER the total in their last 13 road games. They face a poor shooting Seton Hall squad that is under 43% from the field as a team. Seton Hall snapped a six-game losing streak with a 59-54 victory at Rutgers on Wednesday using defense, allowing 31% shooting. The UNDER is 9-2 in the Pirates’ last 11 home games against a team with a losing road record. Seton Hall shot a season-low 25.9% from the field as it lost to Connecticut, 69-46 in the previous game, so this offense can struggle badly against tough defensive units. Seton Hall is 4-1 UNDER the total in the Pirates last five games as a home favorite, so look for more defense than offense across the board. Play Pitt/Seton Hall UNDER the total.
