Seton Hall @ Connecticut

Current Records: Seton Hall 15-8; Connecticut 17-7

What to Know

The Seton Hall Pirates will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Harry A. Gampel Pavilion at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The #24 Connecticut Huskies will be strutting in after a win while the Pirates will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Seton Hall was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 73-67 to the Villanova Wildcats. One thing holding Seton Hall back was the mediocre play of guard Jared Rhoden, who did not have his best game: he finished with only eight points on 4-for-12 shooting in his 38 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the Huskies narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the St. John's Red Storm 63-60. Forward Isaiah Whaley and guard Tyrese Martin were among the main playmakers for UConn as the former had 11 points along with seven rebounds and five blocks and the latter had 17 points in addition to eight boards. Whaley had some trouble finding his footing against the Xavier Musketeers last week, so this was a step in the right direction.

Seton Hall is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 2-0 against the spread when expected to lose.

Seton Hall is now 15-8 while the Huskies sit at 17-7. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Pirates enter the contest with 5.4 blocked shots per game on average, good for 14th best in college basketball. But UConn is even better: they come into the matchup boasting the second most blocked shots per game in college basketball at 6.8. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
