UConn vs Seton Hall Prediction 

UConn comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row and they are looking for some momentum heading into the Big East Tournament. The Huskies are shooting nearly 48% from the field this year, but their defense has led the way recently, as they have allowed 66 points or fewer in three of their last five games. Seton Hall has had an ugly season and they only have two wins in the Big East this year. The Pirates are shooting 40% from the field and they have scored 61 points or fewer in four of their last five games. Seton Hall did beat UConn by a score of 69-68 in their first meeting, but I have to fade their offense in this game. Take UConn to win big.
