Seton Hall certainly does not have Indiana State's home-state advantage, but it does hold an edge of playing inside Hinkle Fieldhouse once a year in Big East play.
It's a small advantage in the matchup with Georgia, but that might help the Pirates settle into the neutral-court setting faster.
The Pirates' other key advantage comes at the free-throw line. They rank 18th in free-throw shooting on KenPom, while Georgia is 183rd. That could be a difference-maker if the contest remains close.
Shaheen Holloway's team also played more consistent basketball down the stretch run of the season. The Pirates went 7-4 from January 30 to the Big East tournament. Georgia went 3-11 in the same span.
Georgia's shooting carried it past the Xavier Musketeers, Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Ohio State Buckeyes, but that could come to a screeching halt against a Seton Hall defense that gave up 58 and 68 points in its last two wins.
The Pirates can dictate the game with their defensive play,, but if it becomes a high-scoring affair, UGA has an opportunity to take over.
Prediction: Seton Hall over Georgia
