VCU vs Seton Hall Prediction

I’m down here. These are two of the best teams in the country early on in terms of defensive efficiency, and Seton Hall’s games have not allowed more than 113 points this season. On the other hand, VCU can also shut down teams and I think this will be a physical black-and-blue matchup. Give me the bottom.
