*8* SUPER SPECIAL on Providence.

The Providence Friars have dropped four of their last five overall, but they are getting a handful of points on the road at Seton Hall tonight. The Pirates have been playing well, winning six of their last seven, but they could be primed to suffer a let down against a hungry Providence team tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Friars have won six of the last eight meetings between the two teams, covering the spread five times during that span. They are 5-2 ATS in their last seven at Seton Hall.

2. Home Cookin' - Providence hasn't had any trouble winning games away from home, going 10-3- ATS in it's last 13 road games. They are averaging 76.1 points on the road, sightly more than the Pirates average at home.

3. X-Factor - The Friars have a huge edge in free throw shooting, hitting 72.7 percent on the season. The Pirates are shooting just 63.6 percent of their free throws at home.

Selection: This is a play on the Providence Friars (8*)
