UConn vs. Seton Hall Pick
UConn vs. Seton Hall Spread Pick
- UConn -5.5 (4 units)
UConn has been rolling since their loss to Arizona before Thanksgiving, winning 12 straight contests. That includes triumphs over Illinois, Kansas, Florida and Texas, all of whom are in the top 51 of the KenPom rankings. The Huskies have only gotten deeper with Mullins’ addition to the rotation. Seton Hall has played well, with their two losses coming to USC by two on a neutral floor and by eight at home to Villanova. As well as the Pirates have played, they haven’t faced a team like the Huskies, who are talented and experienced. Seton Hall is solid defensively but they don’t have the firepower to keep up offensively here. Take the Huskies here.
