No. 19 Ohio State @ Seton Hall

Current Records: Ohio State 3-2; Seton Hall 3-0

What to Know

The Seton Hall Pirates will square off against the #19 Ohio State Buckeyes at 6 p.m. ET Monday at Suncoast Credit Union Arena. Seton Hall should still be riding high after a victory, while the Buckeyes will be looking to right the ship.

Seton Hall sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 67-65 win over the Michigan Wolverines last Tuesday. Guard Jared Rhoden (16 points) was the top scorer for the Pirates.

Meanwhile, OSU was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Thursday as they fell 71-65 to the Xavier Musketeers. Guard Malaki Branham had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 28 minutes but putting up just seven points on 3-for-11 shooting.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Seton Hall is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Seton Hall is now a perfect 3-0 while the Buckeyes sit at 3-2. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Pirates come into the game boasting the 15th most blocked shots per game in college basketball at 6.7. OSU is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the matchup with six blocked shots per game on average, good for 22nd best in college basketball. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
