Seton Hall vs UConn Prediction
Seton Hall is 16-12 ATS on the season, so you can make a case for the points. The problem is Seton Hall can’t score the ball and it makes it hard to trust against quality teams. UConn is coming off back-to-back blowouts since its loss to Creighton and we know what usually happens to this team once it hits March on the calendar. When UConn is engaged at both ends of the floor, things can get ugly. Seton Hall defends but struggles to score mightily. I’ll side with UConn and the chalk.
