SETON HALL vs LOUISVILLE PREDICTION
Louisville is not even close to the same team as they were last year. This will be a rebuilding year for the Cardinals. To make matters worse, transfer Charles Minland, a two-time All-WCC selection from San Francisco, is out with a knee injury while key returner Malik Williams is out with a foot injury. Neither will be available for this game. The Bookie is rolling with Seton Hall in this one to cover the spread and possibly win outright.
