UConn vs Seton Hall prediction
My best bet
UConn -14.5 (-110 at bet365)
My analysis
The UConn Huskies are coming off a 70-66 win at 24th-ranked Creighton last time out, finishing off a tough three-game stretch against ranked Big East teams.
They opened with a 77-69 win over Marquette, then the ninth-ranked team in college hoops, before suffering a 68-62 loss at home against St John's, ranked 12th at the time.
That's the Huskies' lone loss to a ranked team in five games this season.
UConn leads the Big East in scoring at 78.7 points per game, ranking second in field goal shooting at 48.5% while sitting Top 5 in 3-point shooting at 36%.
They shouldn't meet much resistance from the Seton Hall Pirates, who have lost nine straight and own just one win in the last 15. They were bottled up 60-46 by the Georgetown Hoyas last time out.
Six of their last nine losses have been by double digits, as Seton Hall owns the worst scoring defense in the Big East, allowing 79.2 points per game.
Opponents are shooting 50.2% from the field (no other team in the conference is above 45%) and 39.7% from downtown, both last-place numbers in the conference.
There's no outscoring those woes, either: Seton Hall is putting up just 66.5 points per game and has failed to crack the 60-point plateau in six of its last seven games.
The Huskies have taken four of the last six head-to-head meetings, though the Pirates are 4-2-0 against the spread in those games.
But home hasn't been a great cover place for them, as the Pirates are 4-8-0 ATS at the Prudential Center
The Huskies are still alive for a chance at the Big East regular season crown, so taking care of business and leaving no doubt should be the order of the day for them Saturday.
UConn vs Seton Hall same-game parlay (SGP)
UConn -14.5
Over 133 points
Let's tack on the total to complete an SGP for this matchup. After cashing five straight Unders, UConn and Seton Hall broke the streak with an Over in their last meeting.
UConn isn't an exceptional defensive team, ranking 98th in KenPom's defensive efficiency metric, and they've given up at least 66 points in seven of its last nine.
Couple that with the Pirates' poor defense, and this seems like a gettable number.
Also notable: 12 of Connecticut's last 13 road games against conference opponents have produced a total of more than 134 points.
