Connecticut @ Seton Hall

Current Records: Connecticut 10-3; Seton Hall 10-3

What to Know

The Connecticut Huskies will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Prudential Center at noon ET Saturday. The teams split their matchups last year, with the #24 Seton Hall Pirates winning the first 80-73 on the road and the Huskies taking the second 69-58.

UConn beat the Marquette Golden Eagles 78-70 two weeks ago. UConn relied on the efforts of guard R.J. Cole, who had 20 points and seven assists, and guard Tyrese Martin, who had 25 points in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Seton Hall and the Butler Bulldogs on Tuesday was still a pretty decisive one as Seton Hall wrapped it up with a 71-56 win on the road. Seton Hall's guard Bryce Aiken filled up the stat sheet, picking up 12 points and seven assists.

The Huskies are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread two weeks ago might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

The wins brought both teams up to an identical 10-3. Two stats to keep an eye on: UConn ranks fourth in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 6.6 on average. The Pirates are not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the contest with 5.1 blocked shots per game on average, good for 33rd best in college basketball. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
