Preview
Anyone think that Big East play wasn't going to be exciting this season? The Georgetown Hoyas, who have won the regular season title for the past two years, currently sit in 11th.
Marquette was undefeated in conference play until a week and a half ago—now they have two losses.
Notre Dame was terrible in conference play and Louisville looked unstoppable, until the Irish destroyed the Cardinals, 90-57.
UConn looked like they were going to run away with everything until Jermone Dyson went down indefinitely with a knee injury on Wednesday.
That's the state of the Big East—pretty quiet, really...
The Huskies (11-1, 23-1) are going to find out if they can get it done without their second-highest scorer. Coach Calhoun plays a pretty shallow bench already (only seven players average more than 12 minutes per game), and the loss of Dyson is going to call upon some of their lesser-knowns to step up.
Seton Hall (5-6, 14-9) is now on a five-game win streak, although four of those wins have come over the bottom-quarter of the Big East. The key to their success is Jeremy Hazell, who is averaging over 20 points per game. If the Pirates can continue to find him, they may stand a chance of taking down the Huskies in the same manner that they defeated the Hoyas.
This is the second time these two have faced off this season—the first time, the Huskeis won at home, 76-61.
