TCU vs. Seton Hall Prediction and Odds for NCAA Men's Tournament

The No. 9 TCU Horned Frogs are taking on the No. 8 Seton Hall Pirates in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in the South Region.
TCU made a run in the Big 12 conference tournament to earn a No. 9 spot, and it is actually the favorite at WynnBET Sportsbook in this game.

TCU vs. Seton Hall Prediction and Pick
Jamie Dixon’s TCU squad played some impressive basketball down the stretch, and I like them to win this game against Seton Hall, who has sputtered on offense at times without Bryce Aiken.
Even though the Horned Frogs are favorites, I am going to take them on the moneyline even though they’ve gone 18-11-3 against the spread this season.
Seton Hall is a better 3-point shooting team, but not by much, and the Pirates are 281st in effective field goal percentage.
This may be a bit of recency bias, but after watching Seton Hall struggle to get anything going against UConn in the Big East Tournament, I don’t see this team bouncing back against a tough TCU team.
Lean: TCU Moneyline (-115)
