Next up - The Seton Hall Pirates. The UConn women's basketball team (8-0) return to the XL Center to host Seton Hall (7-1) Saturday at 1 p.m. The game will be broadcast on SNY and the UConn/IMG Sports Network.
The Huskies will host their annual Toys for Tots drive vs. the Pirates. Fans are encouraged to bring a new, wrapped toy, which can be donated at the Atrium entrance. Saturday is also Connecticut Day. Fans can purchase tickets to UConn's final home game of 2018 beginning at just $10.
The Huskies and Pirates played their first game on Dec. 23, 1978, and played as league rivals from 1982 through 2013. Seton Hall won the first six of the series, but UConn dominated the final three decades to take a 49-10 advantage. The Huskies' 29-game winning streak against the Pirates is the longest against any opponent in school history and they've also won 44 of the last 45 games. Auriemma owns a 46-2 record against Seton Hall.
This season, Shadeen Samuels leads Seton Hall with 17.0 points per game and 9.4 rebounds per game. The Pirates are coming off a 90-47 win over Saint Peter's and their only loss of the season came to UCLA.
