After a dominant win versus St. John's, UConn is one win away from a Big East title. Can they do it at home versus Seton Hall?

|---|---|
| UConn Huskies | -14.5 (-105) |
| Seton Hall Pirates | +14.5 (-115) |
Seton Hall is 19-9 overall, 9-8 in conference play, and 4th in the Big East. The Pirates have done an entire 180 this year, going from the worst team in the conference to one of the best. They still will need some more magic to continue their season, as they are not an at-large bid. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".
Seton Hall's calling card is their defense. The Pirates are coming off a game where they held their opponents to 47 points. They are one of the best-scoring defenses, allowing only 64 points per game. Can they slow down one of the best teams in the country?
UConn is 26-3 overall, 16-2 in Big East play, and the 6th team in the country. The Huskies are slated as a 2 seed in the Big Dance and are eying their third NCAA Title in four years. A win against Seton Hall will clinch the Big East title for the Huskies.
UConn has all the momentum in the world. During a marquee matchup against St John's earlier in the week, they dominated them. The Red Storm only made two field goals in the second half. When UConn plays like this, no one can beat them.
Seton Hall vs #6 UConn will be an interesting matchup. The Pirates are a quality opponent, but UConn is playing at a different level currently. With March coming soon, it's a safe bet to believe that Dan Hurly will have them ready to go. Our pick is UConn ATS (-14.5).
