I see two programs headed opposite directions here. Seton Hall has been on an ascending trend for a few weeks now, and in my estimation, the market hasn't fully caught on. Meanwhile, the Friars have been getting incrementally worse as conference play rolls on.

Providence lost by four at home to Seton Hall on Jan. 3 when the Friars still had their best player healthy in Bryce Hopkins -- he went down with a season-ending injury in the second half. PC has largely fallen apart without him. Seton Hall has won five of six including that game and its only loss last time out in triple OT to an excellent Creighton team.
