Lay the points with the Pirates. Their length will be a factor defensively and on the boards, as SHU will defend well on the perimeter and outrebound UGA, leading to multiple second-chance scoring opportunities (Seton Hall is 34th in offensive rebounding). The Bulldogs are a high-volume three-point shooting squad but only shoot 34.4%. The Pirates will turn long misses off those three-point attempts into transition baskets and use their size advantage to force turnovers (7.5 steals per game).

Georgia will struggle to keep up with Seton Hall, and by the second half, the Pirates will have worn down the Bulldogs enough to cover the 4.5-point spread.
