Seton Hall has not played great basketball since the middle of December. Their claim to fame for the season is their mid-November upset of then-ranked USC, but their loss to Memphis the next day, the fact that they are 0-4 in Big East conference play and 1-6 in their last seven games really hurts them.

The Pirates have played four tough Big East opponents—they lost to Syracuse by 24, lost to West Virginia by 26, lost to Villanova by four in overtime, and lost to Notre Dame by nine. Connecticut has a much more complete package then the rest of these teams, though.

In Connecticut's five Big East games, they have lost to Georgetown by 11, defeated Rutgers by 31, defeated West Virginia by six, defeated Cincinnati by nine, and defeated St. John's by 12. They have been dominant in these games, but they haven't had breakout scores (except against Rutgers).

This doesn't give me confidence that Connecticut is going to dominate the Pirates by 19.

Pick: Seton Hall +19.0
