*********************************

Play the heavily favored West Virginia Mountaineers on their home court this afternoon versus the Seton Hall Pirates.

No. 23 West Virginia looks to bounce back from its second loss in three games when they entertain Seton Hall. The Mountaineers seem to have found the perfect opponent to help them steady the ship.

Seton Hall has lost three straight overall and six in a row on the road. In fact, the Pirates haven’t posted a road win since November 25 and are coming off a sixth straight conference loss to Connecticut.

West Virginia is 12-3 against the spread in their last 15 home games and 7-2 in their last nine at home while The Hall is 1-7-1 against the spread on the road. Looks like a good spot to grab the Mountaineers.

Play: West Virginia -11½

I like Seton Hall in this game.

The last time these two teams met. WV faded like cheap wallpaper in the 2nd half after that big start. I look for a dog fight all the way down to the end this time around.
