Seton Hall Form & Recent Results
Seton Hall heads into this game trying to shake off a rough stretch, as they’ve lost two in a row and have dropped three of their last five games overall. Their most recent setback was a heartbreaking 69–68 loss at Creighton in Omaha on Saturday, a game that easily could have gone either way. Adam Clark did his part by putting up 20 points and handing out four assists, while Stephon Payne controlled the glass with 11 rebounds. Even though the Pirates came up just short, there were positives in the numbers, where they shot 50% from the field and an impressive 56% from three, and they actually spent a little more than half the game in the lead. At the same time, the 14 turnovers and modest 30 total rebounds were areas that likely made the difference in a one-point game.
Overall for the Pirates this season, Clark has been the steady offensive leader, pacing the team at 11.9 points per game, with AJ Staton-McCray close behind at 11.5. Payne has been Seton Hall’s top rebounder all season, averaging 7.4 boards per game, and Clark also leads the Pirates in playmaking at 4.5 assists per game. Defensively, Seton Hall has held opponents to about 68 points per game across their last five games, which shows they’ve been competing and staying organized on that end. They’ve also been tough at home with a 10–3 record, averaging 70.8 points per game in their own building. The defense has given them a chance recently, but if they want to even up their conference record with a home win against Providence, they’ll need the offense to show up with more consistency and make the most of the opportunities they create.
Providence Form & Recent Results
Providence comes into this game riding a two-game winning streak, although the bigger picture shows they’ve still been a bit inconsistent lately, dropping three of their last five games overall. Their most recent win was an impressive 90–72 result at home against DePaul on Saturday, and it was a performance that looked like the Friars at their best. Jason Edwards carried the scoring load with 25 points, while Oswin Erhunmwunse controlled the glass with 13 rebounds and Corey Floyd Jr. helped keep the offense organized with five assists. Providence shot the ball extremely well in that game, finishing at 59% from the field and 43% from three-point range, and they were the team in charge almost the entire night, leading for 98% of the game. They also won the rebounding battle with 41 boards, which helped them control the pace and limit DePaul’s second chances.
For the season, Edwards has been Providence’s most reliable scorer, leading the team at 17.6 points per game, with Jaylin Sellers close behind at 17.1. Erhunmwunse has been their top rebounder all season as well, averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, and Stefan Vaaks has set the table most consistently, leading the team with 3.3 assists per contest. The concern, though, is on the defensive end, especially on the road. Over their last five games, Providence has given up 82.8 points per game, and those numbers get even worse on the road, where they’re just 1–6 and allowing a huge 93.9 points per game. If the Friars want to avoid what would be their 10th Big East loss of the season when they head to Newark on Wednesday night, they’ll need a major defensive bounce-back, particularly in terms of stopping dribble penetration, contesting shots, and keeping teams off the offensive glass.
Key Stats
- Providence’s Jason Edwards this season: 17.6 points per game

Providence vs. Seton Hall Picks and Prediction
Providence hasn’t had an easy time in Big East games this season, and things have been even tougher when they’ve had to play away from home. In road games, their defense has been giving up more than 90 points a night on average, and that’s the kind of weakness Seton Hall will want to attack right away. The Pirates will try to feed off the energy of playing at home, and they’ll also look to carry some momentum forward from their tough one-point loss to Creighton, using it as motivation to turn the next game into a much-needed conference win in front of their own crowd. Final Score Prediction, Seton Hall Pirates win but fail to cover the spread, 77-74.
