This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Seton Hall have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.1 rebounds per game.

Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Seton Hall was able to grind out a solid win over Georgetown when the teams last played back in February of 2023, winning 76-68. The rematch might be a little tougher for Seton Hall since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
