Coming off of four day’s rest since beating DePaul on senior night, the No. 20 and third-seeded UConn men’s basketball team will take on sixth-seeded Seton Hall in the Big East tournament quarterfinals, in the first Big East tournament with Huskies fans in attendance since 2012. UConn had a bye from receiving one of the top three seeds, and Seton Hall just beat the winless-in-conference Georgetown Hoyas to get to this position.
The Pirates came out flat against a lowly Georgetown team and the reigning Big East Tournament champions took advantage, leading for most of the game despite sloppy play on both ends.
