There are two versions of Seton Hall. The team that plays at home and the one that really struggles on the road. Thankfully, this one is at Prudential. This is a very winnable game. Villanova is playing much better and their win at Providence was impressive. Since their 5-game losing streak, they are 6-2. They are playing solid defense but are averaging just 62 points per game on the road as opposed to 73 at home in those 8 games.
I believe SHU must not allow Brendan Hausen to have a big game off the bench. Along with the improved play of Justin Moore, he has been a catalyst in Villanova's upswing. Seton Hall must swarm Villanova and come out with the energy they had at home against Xavier and Butler. This has to be a top-notch defensive effort. I think you live with Dixon scoring his points, but try to limit the rest of the Nova guys on the perimeter. On the flip side Seton Hall has averaged 79 points per game at HOME in conference play. Our guy's love playing at home and that could be the difference. The core guys need to show up. I think Dawes goes off and is the difference. If Addae-Wusu is not scoring he still has to do all the other things that are vital. Also, the bench guys have to contribute something. Coleman has to play with smarts and score where he can. Bediako has to show some anger and finish his plays. So important that WE the fans do our part too. We have to be into it from the start. Sha and the coaching staff better have them ready!! This is not Grandma's Villanova. Overwhelm and Crush them!!
