This matchup features the two teams who felt snubbed by the committee the most but only one can win. Indiana State has never won the NIT and Seton Hall last won it in 1953. Both are similar in strengths on defense, but Indiana State are a little better in that department. The edge in offense goes to the Sycamores who shoot more threes at over 38.7% beyond the arc, and shot over 50% from the field versus Utah. They are also very good at the charity stripe too and with Avila heading the Sycamores, they have several players that can shoot in double digits. On the flip side, Seton Hall have played many times at Finkle House in the past and will have to shore up on defense in this one, but Indiana State will have the crowd and the feel of a home game for them that should put them over the edge in what would be an historic win for the program. Both are motivated that's for sure, but the Sycamores want it more.

Best bet: lay the points with Indiana State.
