💰 Seton Hall vs. St. John's prediction & best bet
Seton Hall +9 (-109)
As evidenced by the low total (132.5), this matchup projects to be an offensive struggle. That's how both regular-season meetings unfolded: St. John's 65, Seton Hall 60 (Jan. 20) and St. John's 72, Seton Hall 65 (March 6).
I have no choice but to take Seton Hall +9 in a low-scoring battle. It's unlikely either team will score enough to win by double digits, especially since they both rank in the top 15 in adjusted defensive efficiency.
Pinnacle is the lone shop offering +9, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the best sports betting sites follow.
Score prediction: St. John's 70, Seton Hall 64
🔥 Best Seton Hall vs. St. John's player prop bet
Zuby Ejiofor Under 7.5 rebounds (-126)
Despite a lot of missed shots in both regular-season matchups, Seton Hall has done a solid job of keeping St. John's big man Zuby Ejiofor off the glass.
Ejiofor grabbed two rebounds (one on each end) in his most recent meeting with the Pirates. This came after Ejiofor collected four boards (all on offense) in the first battle with Seton Hall.
For the season, Ejiofor is averaging 7.2 rebounds per contest. But he's only cleared this rebound line in two of his previous nine outings.
This Under costs as much as -154 at Caesars, highlighting the value at FanDuel.

I'm not the only one with an Ejiofor play tonight, as our Mike Spector highlights a play on his points total in his college basketball predictions today.
🚀 Seton Hall vs. St. John's same-game parlay
FanDuel offers the best price on Ejiofor's rebounds line, which is why I've opted to create my Seton Hall vs. St. John's parlay there. It's worth sacrificing some value on the spread, especially since I'd back the Pirates at +8 or better. I don't see any value in the total by itself, but the Over is worth adding to an SGP, as Seton Hall must score enough to stay within striking distance tonight.
And if this isn't enough for your same-game parlay needs, we have another one lined up for you in our Miami vs. Virginia picks & prediction.
💵 Seton Hall vs. St. John's SGP picks
- Seton Hall +8.5 (-110)
- Zuby Ejiofor Under 7.5 rebounds (-126)
- Over 132.5 (-115)
Best odds: +429 via FanDuel (0.1u -> 0.43u)
💡 How I'm betting Seton Hall vs. St. John's
Follow all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.
Because I see value in just two markets, I've decided to bet one unit on each play in this Seton Hall vs. St. John's matchup. To me, they have similar value at their current price.
After these two teams faced each other as recently as the regular-season finale, it's not surprising that I couldn't find a third wager worth making tonight. To be honest, the spread only became valuable after some early-market movement. Taking the points with Seton Hall would have been more of a lean at its original value.
As for Ejiofor's rebound line, the angle is more specific to this matchup.
It's important to have the ability to adapt when assessing the market in March.
📊 Live Seton Hall vs. St. John's odds: Big East
St. John's is laying -8.5 in the market after opening as a 7.5-point favorite. The total has climbed up from 132.5 to 133.5. The early movement indicates that the Over and the Red Storm's spread are on the right side, though I'm skeptical, as mentioned above.
I'd back Seton Hall at +8 or better in what should be a low-scoring matchup on Friday night.
