Lines last updated at 6:30 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n UConn 72, Seton Hall 64<\/p>\n No interest; PASS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n These Big East foes have engaged in a taut back-and-forth over recent years. The Huskies and Pirates have alternated wins over the last 7, and the road team has not earned a victory since 2021 when UConn won at SHU.<\/p>\n Seton Hall is a defense-first team ranked as the BartTorvik No. 40. In its last 10 games, Connecticut has defeated BartTorvik No. 49 Texas Longhrns (71-63) and BartTorvik No. 51 Butler Bulldogs<\/a> (79-60). Those games were at home, but earlier this season the Huskies defeated an excellent-on-defense Kansas Jayhawks team (BartTorvik No. 20) on the road (61-56). Those are promising comps.<\/p>\n UConn does not generate many free-throw attempts but has logged better rates in that regard in 2 of its last 3 games. And the ability of the Pirates to force turnovers — a big plus for SHU early — has exhibited some regression of late. Those trends favor the Huskies.<\/p>\n TAKE UCONN -5.5 (-110)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Over is 2-1 across the last 3 series meetings.<\/p>\n Both sides have tempo figures that put them squarely in the slower half of NCAA-I teams, but both the Huskies and Pirates are on trend lines that show an uptick in possessions over recent weeks. The expected game flow is mostly 2-by-2, but there are some matchup indicators pointing to some fair input from the foul line, and Seton Hall does sport some turnover-fueled fast-break ability.<\/p>\n Peg the OVER 130.5 (-115)<\/strong> with a lean.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips<\/strong>, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n College sports coverage from USA TODAY Sports Media Group:<\/strong><\/p>\n Alabama<\/a> \/ Auburn<\/a> \/ Clemson<\/a>\u00a0\/ Colorado<\/a> \/ Duke<\/a> \/\u00a0Florida<\/a> \/ Florida State<\/a> \/\u00a0Georgia<\/a> \/ Iowa<\/a> \/ Kentucky<\/a> \/\u00a0LSU<\/a>\u00a0\/ Michigan<\/a>\u00a0\/ Michigan State<\/a> \/ Nebraska<\/a> \/ North Carolina<\/a> \/ Notre Dame<\/a>\u00a0\/ Ohio State<\/a>\u00a0\/ Oklahoma<\/a> \/ Oregon<\/a> \/ Penn State<\/a> \/ Tennessee<\/a>\u00a0\/ Texas<\/a> \/ Texas A&M<\/a> \/ UCLA<\/a> \/ USC<\/a> \/ Washington<\/a> \/\u00a0Wisconsin<\/a> \/ College Sports Wire<\/a> \/ High School<\/a> \/ Recruiting<\/a><\/p>\nUConn at Seton Hall odds<\/h2>\n
