Why UConn can cover

Connecticut will be motivated to get revenge for its disappointing loss to Seton Hall earlier this season, as the Huskies led by 14 points at halftime before giving up the lead with 1:08 remaining and eventually losing on a putback with less than two seconds on the clock. Seton Hall has gone just 4-3 since pulling off that upset, with its wins coming against teams at the bottom of the conference standings. The Pirates had to hold off last-place Georgetown on Tuesday, failing to cover the 11.5-point spread. 

Meanwhile, UConn has gone 12-2 in its home games this season, and it is 6-1 in its games played on campus. The Huskies have gone 4-2 since losing to Seton Hall, with their other loss coming in narrow fashion at then-No. 23 Creighton last Saturday. Adama Sanogo leads the team with 17.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and he is coming off a double-double effort against Creighton. 

Why Seton Hall can cover

Seton Hall finds itself on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble in most projections, so it will be in desperate need of a win on Saturday afternoon. The Pirates will have some confidence coming into this matchup after beating UConn in the first meeting. Kadary Richmond gave them their first lead with just over a minute remaining, finishing with team highs in points (18) and rebounds (10). 

Al-Amir Dawes scored 20 points to lead four Seton Hall players in double figures on Tuesday. Dawes, a senior guard, leads the Pirates with 12.6 points per game, while Tyrese Samuel is adding 10.7 points and 5.9 rebounds. UConn has only covered the spread seven times in its last 20 Big East games, making the Huskies a team to stay away from right now.
