Seton Hall vs. Gonzaga picks for the NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Region first-round game.

---

Seton Hall taking on Gonzaga should be a nice battle. Both teams sputtered during the middle of the season before finding their stride down the stretch. The Pirates are on a four-game winning streak and have won 12 of their last 14 contests. Meanwhile, the Zags have a five-game winning streak with the same mark as Seton Hall over their past 14 games. Both clubs won their conference tournaments.

If Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer can get hot, it could be a long night for Seton Hall. However, Isaiah Whitehead is a stud in his own right. We have the potential to see a two-man duel unfold in the first round. In terms of a 6-11 matchup, this one has just about everything basketball fans could hope for. It’s more than enough to stay up for the late tip and keep grinding on the bracket through the final horn.

How do the Campus Insiders experts see Gonzaga matching up against Seton Hall in the first round? Here’s a look at the Gonzaga vs. Seton Hall picks.

Pete Fiutak

That Big East championship was cute and all. Everyone will get a hat, but Gonzaga will pull off the 6/11 upset.

Ray Crawford

Domanta Sabonis, Kyle Wiltjer and the sudden offensive emergence of Eric McClellan in the WCC Tournament. Guided by Mark Few, the Zags will win more than once in the dance.

Shae Peppler

The Zags, again, can’t get over the hump and advance. Seton Hall proves to be too much.

Ken Bikoff

Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis will be too much for Seton Hall to handle.

Jordan Cornette

As hot as any team in the country, Seton Hall takes down Gonzaga and its lack of guard play in the first round.
