OVER 142 Total Points
Wofford has shown an affinity and an aptitude for scoring plenty of points on the season while Seton Hall has not been afraid to mix it up with offensive teams – playing to 167 points with Kentucky, 152 with Maryland, 160 with Marquette and 148 and 146 with Villanova in the past week.
It’s always tough to call a 7 vs 10 game featuring opponents with no history, so I’m going to stick with a totals play here.
