<p>Only one Top 25 team will be playing in the NCAAB on Friday, February 24, and that’s a good reason to check out the best Musketeers vs. Pirates betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Both Xavier and Seton Hall will be looking to avoid the fourth defeat in five games when they meet at Prudential Center. The Musketeers are slight 1-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 140.5 points. These Big East foes will meet for the second time this season; the Musketeers won 73-70 in Cincinnati, OH.</p>



<p><strong>Musketeers fell short of Villanova at home</strong></p>



<p>The Xavier Musketeers (20-8, 15-12-1 ATS) managed to avoid the third loss in a row with a win over the DePaul Blue Demons at home but fell short to the Villanova Wildcats in the next one. The Musketeers had a 10-point lead in the second half; however, that wasn’t enough to get a victory. The hosts had a game-winning shot, but Souley Boum missed a layup and the Wildcats snatched a 64-63 win. Xavier was better in both rebounds (34-26) and assists (17-13) but committed 14 turnovers opposite Villanova’s seven, which cost the hosts in the end.</p>



<p>Senior guard Souley Boum led the Musketeers with 17 points and four rebounds. Jerome Hunter added 14 points and four boards, Jack Nunge posted a double-double of 12 points and game-high ten rebounds, while Adam Kunkel scored ten points with four boards.</p>



<p>F Zach Freemantle is out of action due to a left foot issue, and he is expected to return in early March.</p>



<p><strong>Pirates lost to UConn on the road</strong></p>



<p>The Seton Hall Pirates (16-12, 15-12-0 ATS) lost three of the previous four games, including the most recent one to the UConn Huskies on the road. The Pirates weren’t good from the floor as they shot 39.6% and made only two three-pointers from 11 attempts, while the Huskies dominated the boards (39-25). Seton Hall will now play the next two games at home and then will conclude the season against the Providence Friars on the road.</p>



<p>Senior forward Tyrese Samuel led the Pirates in a 64-55 loss to UConn with 16 points and four rebounds. Al-Amir Dawes also scored 16 with two steals, while KC Ndefo added 13 points and game-high five boards. Seton Hall’s defense contributed miserable three points.</p>



<p>G/F Dre Davis is idle with an ankle injury, and he will miss an undetermined length of time. F Kadary Richmond exited the last game with a back injury, and it is unknown if he will face Xavier on Friday.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Xavier:</strong></p>



<ul>
<li>8-2 ATS in the last ten games vs. a team with a winning straight-up record</li>



<li>9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 games following an ATS loss</li>



<li>6-2-1 ATS in the last nine Friday games</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Seton Hall:</strong></p>



<ul>
<li>0-4 ATS in the last four home games</li>



<li>1-4 ATS in the last five games following an ATS win</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Xavier Musketeers vs. Seton Hall Pirates Pick</strong></p>



<p>Xavier is playing without the second top scorer Zach Freemantle, but the Musketeers have a lot of offensive weapons to choose from, unlike the Pirates. The Musketeers have a top-20 offense in college basketball that averages 81.9 points per game opposite Seton Hall’s 68.3 ppg. Although the Pirates have a stronger defense, they will need a good offense to outscore the visitors here. Considering the hosts will be likely playing without Dre Davis and Kadary Richmond - that is not going to happen. I am backing the Musketeers to sweep the season series.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Musketeers at -1 (-110)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>The only way for the Pirates to win this game is a low-scoring affair. They do allow only 64.4 points per game, which is a top-40 defense in the country. Given the fact that the Musketeers failed to score more than 68 points in three of their previous four games, Seton Hall will have a chance to limit Xavier to below 70 points. Under is 4-0 in the Musketeers’ last four overall; Under is 4-1 in Xavier’s previous five road games, while Under is 9-3 in the Pirates’ last 12 overall.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 142.5 points (-130)</p>

Longwood Lancers vs Binghamton Bearcats NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/19/24

Sometimes you just have to write about the big game. We try here at BangTheBook to highlight the low and mid-major conferences as much as possible with our spotlight previews, but today’s mega matchup between Kansas and Baylor is just too big to overlook.

The Jayhawks are a nine-point underdog against the Bears in this matchup and some books, like <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a>, are showing indications of possibly moving the line up to 9.5. The total on the game is 140.5.

To put this in perspective, you have to go back to March 7, 2015 to find a spot when Kansas was an underdog of more than six points in a conference game. That was against Oklahoma on the road. SportsDatabase.com doesn’t even go back far enough to find a nine-point dog role. This is a big line and some rare air for the Jayhawks. For what it’s worth, here are <strong><a href="https://sportsdatabase.com/ncaabb/query?output=default&amp;sdql=team%3DKAN+and+conference+and+line%3E%3D5&amp;submit=++S+D+Q+L+%21++">Kansas’s games at +5 or higher</a></strong> in the last 15 years.

So, yeah, we have to talk about this one.
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Jayhawks</u></strong></h3>
Is it fair to say that this year’s version of the Jayhawks is good, but not great? The losses have come by 12 to Gonzaga, 25 to Texas, and five to Oklahoma State in Kansas’s most recent game. That road loss at Stillwater saw the Jayhawks shoot 5-of-21 from three for the second time this season. The other time they did that was a three-point win over a Kentucky team having a down year.

The only other performance that bad or worse was in the 25-point loss to Texas when Kansas was 3-of-23 and just 20-of-65 from the field overall. The Jayhawks have played pretty well in most of their games, but it is pretty clear that they aren’t the same caliber of team that Bill Self is used to having in Lawrence.

Of course, all of those narratives could change with a win tonight.

The thing about Kansas this season is that the Jayhawks don’t really stand out in any big way. They’ve played the 28th-ranked strength of schedule and are still a top-30 team in adjusted offensive efficiency and a top-25 team in adjusted defensive efficiency. That being said, they are 211th in 2P% and 118th in 3P% on offense. Defensively, they are above average defending both the two and the three, but don’t really excel in either area.

The Jayhawks are a great offensive rebounding team and Baylor does rank 207th in ORB% against, so some second-chance points could be enough to make this game closer than the line would suggest.

<h3><strong><u>Baylor Bears</u></strong></h3>
Baylor is a top-five team in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. They’re also third in the nation at forcing turnovers at 26.3%. Kansas, to their credit, has only turned it over on 18.2% of their possessions, which is above average, though not spectacular. Possessions will be huge in this game.

We already highlighted the chances that Kansas can get some offensive rebounds, but Baylor is eighth in the nation in terms of getting back their misses. Those extra possessions between turnovers and ORebs are a big reason why Scott Drew’s team is off to such a dominant 12-0 start. Baylor is even 10-2 against the spread, though they have played the 118th-ranked schedule and played a much weaker non-conference slate than Kansas.

Baylor has not even played what Bart Torvik would term a “close game”. Baylor’s smallest margin of victory was eight points this past weekend against Texas Tech in a 68-60 win. It was the lowest points per possession output for Baylor of the season with .971, but they still easily came away with the victory. Texas Tech did do well on the offensive glass, which should provide some hope for a well-rested Kansas squad that hasn’t played since last Tuesday.

Baylor is fourth in 3P% in the nation at 42.3% and 37th in 2P% at 55.2%. They take a lot of high-quality shots and rank ninth in eFG%. Kansas ranks 175th in eFG%. Baylor is also the all-around better defensive team. When you add it all up statistically and factor in the bodies of work for the two teams, getting to a spread of -9 isn’t that hard to do.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
Credit to Baylor for beating two top-15 opponents in Illinois and Texas Tech, but they’ve played one other top-30 opponent, which was Oklahoma at home, and then one other top-100 opponent in TCU. Kansas has played three teams outside the top-100 and one lower-division team. Will the tougher strength of schedule be a reason to back Kansas?

You’d certainly like to play on a historical outlier like this line, but it is fair to wonder just how good this Kansas team is, as most of their better wins have been close and their losses have not been pretty.

Still, Kansas at +9 is a lot to overlook.
<h4><strong>Pick: Kansas +9</strong></h4>
