What to Know

The #15 Connecticut Huskies won both of their matches against the Seton Hall Pirates last season (70-65 and 62-52) and are aiming for the same result Wednesday. UConn and Seton Hall will face off in a Big East battle at 6:30 p.m. ET at Prudential Center. The Huskies won't have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 4.5-point advantage in the spread.

UConn entered their game against the St. John's Red Storm on Sunday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. The contest between them was not particularly close, with UConn falling 85-74. This was hardly the result they or its fans were betting on, as they were favored by 14.5 points over St. John's heading into this matchup. Despite the loss, UConn got a solid performance out of guard Jordan Hawkins, who had 31 points along with five rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Pirates narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the DePaul Blue Demons 71-67. Four players on Seton Hall scored in the double digits: forward KC Ndefo (16), guard Al-Amir Dawes (15), forward Tyrese Samuel (12), and guard Femi Odukale (12). Ndefo hadn't helped his team much against the Georgetown Hoyas last Tuesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him. KC Ndefo's points were the most he has had all year.

Seton Hall's win lifted them to 11-8 while Connecticut's defeat dropped them down to 15-4. This past Saturday Seton Hall relied heavily on Ndefo, who posted a double-double on 16 points and 12 boards. It will be up to Connecticut's defense to limit his damage.
