Two of the original Big East conference teams will face off here on Sunday afternoon in Connecticut. As Seton Hall puts their bubble hopes on the line against the defending national champions on the road, when they face off with the Connecticut Huskies. Every time two of the original Big East member teams face off you are in for a solid and competitive contest. That will likely be true with this matchup on Sunday afternoon as the Pirates and the Huskies match up pretty well this season. This is a game that could go down to the final buzzer here on Sunday afternoon. As teams look to put a finishing stamp on their resumes with only a couple weeks before selection Sunday.
Seton Hall has put together a respectable season, and their NCAA tournament future hinges on the outcome of this game, and their outcome of the rest of their season as well. They have picked up 18 victories in their first 28 games of the season and this feels like a must win game for them if they want to improve their standing on the bubble heading into the last month of the regular season. This would also be a massive upset for them on the road against the defending national champions, and give them plenty of momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season and the conference tournament.
They have put together a quality conference record winning 11 out of 17 games within the Big East this season. As of right now that has them in fourth place of the conference. Although it is unlikely, they will move up any farther they do have Villanova hot on their heels for that fourth place spot which will be important heading into the conference tournament. The last time these two teams played. It was Seton Hall that upset the defending national champions at home by double digits, and they will look to replicate that performance here on Sunday afternoon.

The defending national champions have put together an incredible campaign this season. They have spent plenty of time ranked number one in the country this season, and they are heading towards a number one seed in the NCAA tournament as well. They come into this game with 25 victories through their first 28 games of the season and they have all been officially wrapped up the regular season conference title in the Big East. This will be a big game for Connecticut for a number of reasons as they are trying to close the door on the conference title and they are looking to a loss from earlier this season as well.
The last time these two teams met, it was Seton Hall that came away with a 15 point victory at home. Now Connecticut will be looking to return the favor in their home arena here on Sunday afternoon. Since that loss in December to Seton Hall, Connecticut has gone on an incredible run. Over that time, they have won 15 out of 16 games and they will look to make it 16 out of 17 with another solid performance here in this. As a victory in this game would officially clinch the biggest regular season title for the Connecticut Huskies here on Sunday afternoon at home against the Pirates.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- UConn is 15-0 at home
- Seton Hall is 3-5 against ranked teams
- Seton Hall is 5-5 on the road
I expect this to be a close, and competitive contest throughout the early stages of the game on Sunday afternoon. But in the end I look for the Connecticut Huskies to get their revenge against Seton Hall here at home, as I look for Connecticut to pick up a comfortable victory in this one. Not only do I look for the defending national champions, pick up a victory and avenge their loss from earlier this season. I also look for the Connecticut Huskies to cover the spread here in this game on Sunday afternoon as well.
