UConn at Seton Hall picks and predictions
Prediction
Seton Hall 72, UConn 69
Moneyline
SETON HALL (+170) is worth playing at home as a moderate underdog, striking while the iron is hot against an ice-cold Connecticut side.
The Huskies are 1-4 SU in the past 5 games overall, including losses in each of their last 3 road outings.
Against the spread
SETON HALL +4.5 (-105) is a decent play catching the points if you can’t stand the idea of playing the Pirates straight up and you want some insurance.
UConn is 4-10 ATS in the past 14 road games while going 1-5 ATS in the past 6 against winning teams.
While the favorite is 5-2 ATS in the past 7 in this series, you have to roll with the hotter team, and that’s the Pirates.
Over/Under
OVER 135.5 (-110) is the lean in this Big East battle — but go lightly.
The Over has hit in 5 of the past 7 games overall for the Huskies and is 6-2-1 in the past 9 for the Pirates against teams with a winning percentage over .600.
