Seton Hall Pirates at Connecticut Huskies

The Huskies have lost four straight games, which includes three games from the Big East, and what started as a very promising season has gone downhill fast. Connecticut lost three of those games by three points or less but it is coming off its worst showing of the season as it lost by 14 points at Georgetown on Wednesday. That is a type of game that can either sink a team further down or come back stronger and the latter should be the case here as the Huskies look to improve upon their 10-2 home record.

Seton Hall is playing worse. The Pirates were off to a great start as they opened the season 15-2 and were part of the national rankings. An NCAA Tournament bid was all but assured and then things went south. They have lost five straight games since then and only one of those was arguably close. This includes three losses on the road and for the season, Seton Hall is 1-4 in conference road games. The defense has been decent but the offense has dried up, averaging only 56.6 ppg on 34.7 percent shooting during the skid.

Connecticut went scoreless for more than seven minutes in the loss to Notre Dame, were held to their lowest point total in nearly two years, and went 3-13 from three-point range. And then it got worse. In the loss to Georgetown, the Huskies were held to 44 points, four fewer than against Notre Dame, while going 2-20 from long range. A combined 5-33 (15.2 percent) from behind the arc is not going to get it done but they have been a lot better than those numbers show as they are shooting 39.4 percent at home.

This is certainly a big game for both sides but even more so for the Huskies which came into the season with much higher expectations. They are now 4-5 in the conference and after a 2-0 start, they were handed their first loss at Seton Hall by 12 points which was the first loss to the Pirates since 2001, a span of 12 games. That makes this payback time for Connecticut which has covered six of the last seven home meetings against the Pirates. Look for the Huskies to finally break out on Saturday. 10* (534) Connecticut Huskies

Kansas Jayhawks @ Kentucky Wildcats Monday April 2, 2012 9:20 pm
All of the pressure is on Kentucky and head coach John Calipari and while it has handled it very well so far, this is of a different magnitude. The Wildcats are one win away from a National Championship that they are expected to win and that has been the case all season long. I think ... read more

Ohio State Buckeyes @ Kansas Jayhawks Saturday March 31, 2012 8:49 pm
The linesmakers are have given the edge to Ohio St. in this matchup and the main reason for that is the road these two teams have taken to get here. The Buckeyes have covered three of their four tournament games with the only non-covering being by just a bucket. Kansas meanwhile ... read more

Louisville Cardinals @ Kentucky Wildcats Saturday March 31, 2012 6:09 pm
As tempting as these points look, they won't be enough for Louisville to cover against Kentucky, let alone win it outright. The Cardinals have put a very strong run together, similar to that of Connecticut from last season as they won four games in four days to capture the Big East ... read more

Minnesota Golden Gophers @ Washington Huskies Tuesday March 27, 2012 9:00 pm
Washington is showing that it is the class of the NIT and the number one seed it received was well deserved. The Huskies have cruised through its three games to get to the NIT Final Four and even though all of those took place at home, they will be just fine in this atmosphere. Washington ... read more

Pittsburgh Panthers @ Washington State Cougars Monday March 26, 2012 10:00 pm
Pittsburgh is coming off an ugly overtime win over Butler on the road to advance to the best-of-three finals in the CBI Tournament. I believe that was their final roadblock before winning this championship. The Panthers came into this tournament with a great attitude after a very ... read more

Florida Gators @ Louisville Cardinals Saturday March 24, 2012 4:30 pm
You have to give credit to Florida for the run it is having but there is no reason it should be favored here. The Gators are one of the two lower seeded teams that are favored Saturday and while Ohio St. is justified, Florida isn't. The Gators first two games came against lower seeded ... read more

Florida has had a very easy time in getting into the Sweet 16 and it caught a very big break with Missouri going down against Norfolk St. The Gators have won their first two games by 26 and 34 points which is a rarity in this tournament, no matter the competition. The 30 ppg scoring ... read more
