Staff Prediction

This is an interesting matchup that favors Rutgers. The Scarlet Knight's own statistically one of the top 10 defenses in the country and are facing a Seaton Hall team that statistically struggles on offense. Rutgers has also come into this game playing good basketball, coming off a win vs 10th ranked Indiana, and a 1-point loss at 25th ranked Ohio State. Rutgers should win this game and cover the -8.
