The (2-0) Seton Hall Pirates and the (2-0) Iowa Hawkeyes will square off on Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey. The Prudential Center will host the start of the game at 7:30 p.m. EST. Since neither of these teams has ever lost, I anticipate a close game. The previous meeting between the two teams ended with a 91-83 victory for Seton Hall.
The Hawkeyes won their previous game against NC A&T by a score of 112-71. The Pirates won their previous game against Saint Peter's by a score of 80–44.

Iowa vs Seton Hall Best Picks and Prediction
I don't think the Hawkeyes' defense will be able to stop the Pirates from scoring during this game. I haven't been impressed by Iowa's opponents, and they allow 64.5 points per game. The Pirates rank 123rd in terms of points scored per game and 98th in terms of team shooting %.
They have demonstrated their ability to score effectively, and their defense will make the opposition's offense simple and straightforward. The key to this game will be Seton Hall's defense, which won't let the Hawkeyes score enough points to cover the spread. The Hawkeyes' offensive superpowers will struggle if they do not score frequently.
Pick: Pirates -1 (-110)
