Oregon
The Ducks are 9-0 ATS in their last nine neutral site games. Oregon is 4-0 ATS in its last four non-conference games.
Seton Hall
The Pirates are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Seton Hall is 15-5-1 ATS in its last 21 neutral site games.
Prediction:
This game is almost a tossup with these two very evenly matched squads playing on a neutral setting. The Pirates had to travel a little less to get to the Bahamas and have a premier scorer in Powell. Both squads are a little better on the offensive end than the defensive side, but they are each solid defensively as well. With such a tough call, I have to go with the Pirates and the points here as this could come down to the final possession. Powell for a game-winner perhaps?
