Seton Hall is atrocious and have lost their last 9. They've only kept one opponent within 13 points in the last month.

Seems like it should be easy for us to win by 15+, especially with McNeeley back and Diarra probably good to go. But we've also been terrible when favored by 7-15 points, and Big East road games are a wild card. This could end up being like a 65-55 rock fight.

Plus, wins against Seton Hall have been hard to come by in Newark.

I doubt Diarra plays much in this game. He needs to rest to get better.

Idk, this Seton Hall team is bad bad. I know this Uconn team is struggling but I am hoping the confidence is sky high coming off the Creighton win.

A bad Butler team went into SH and won by 30 last week.

I'm slamming the -14.5 and pairing it with Auburn ML. Alabama is overrated.

I've been convinced Dan Hurley treats this game like a donation to his alma mater

I’d be curious to hear your take on Bama being overrated. Pearl vs Oates, hmmm

Overrated might be a strong word. The SEC is a gauntlet but Alabama has had the softer schedule of the two teams so far.

Bama's schedule is super back-loaded. I expect them to drop a few.

Seton Hall would not be competitive in a handful of mid major conferences this year. I'm not convinced they have more than 3-4 high major quality players in their rotation right now

On the flip side, we haven't won in NJ in 4 years. Not since Adama's freshman year breakout game

In a normal world this would be a 20+ blowout, but we live in a world with lots of bad mojo. 14.5 is fine

Bama second hardest SOS behind Auburn. What is interesting is that they don’t have a game left that isn’t unranked, 4 of the 7 against top 5 teams. Gauntlet and a half. They’re going to have easily the strongest SOS to end the year.

Ideally Diarra spends as little time on the court today as possible. Rest up for Nova, Jonnies, and Marquette

More than confident, I want a team to have a single-minded focus to make a statement here. We are the back to back defending champs. We should be reminding everyone of that on the court every single game.

You're looking at overall SOS which is being skewed by their really strong non conference games. They've played the weakest schedule for conference games which is what he's talking about

Way to take both sides of the bet....LOL.

UConn covers easy. 78-55.
I'm not taking both sides. I bet Hall +14.5 (and the line is down to +13.5).

I wouldn't be surprised for us to romp, but I think it's more likely we struggle to pull away, like we have in other games we've been favored by around this amount.

Do not ever underestimate your opponent be it war,business, road race or anything. Doing so leaves you vulnerable to disappointment and shame. Any team can have a breakout game and make it difficult to win. Play to win every game and let us not play like arrogant fools.

Congrats on betting against UConn.

I could either be pissed off and poorer or pissed off and richer. I prefer the latter.
I guess.

Personally, I don’t ever bet against them. I would never want to make money off a game like this. But you do you.

Don't ask how much I bet on South Carolina against the women tomorrow.
