The now 8th ranked UConn Huskies face the Seton Hall Pirates tomorrow night at the Prudential Center in Newark NJ. Game time is 7:00 P.M. and will be broadcast on SNY.
Although Seton Hall is unranked they are 4th in the RPI, compared to UConn's 3rd.
The Pirates are led by two Seniors; 6'8" Forward Herb Pope who is 4th in the Big East in scoring at 18.6 ppg and Senior point guard, Jordan Theodore who is averaging 15.8 ppg and leads the Big East in assists with 7.0 pg.
The Huskies now have four players averaging in double figures; Lamb 18.9, ( 2nd in the Big East) Napier 14.9ppg, Boatright 12.1ppg and Drummond at 10.0 ppg. This will be the third and final game of Jim Calhoun's suspension for recruiting violations.
While the Pirates could be tough at home history is on the side of UConn. since the 92-93 season Seton Hall is 2-25 against UConn and has lost the last 11 games in the series.
I want to welcome Brian Shu back as a follower to the site; a great Husky fan and important contributor to the "comments" last year.

Thanks Steve, very excited to discuss about the Huskies again! They are looking sharp and Lamb has stepped up and carried the weight that Kemba left behind.

Drummond and Lamb projected to go 1 and 2 in the draft this year.
Awesome Brian, great to have you back. Brian, I agree about Drummond, but I do not think Lamb will go quite that high, although a lot depends on what he looks like by year end.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite the prognosticator Steve, with the word STIFF. Again I didn't watch the game since I was listening to my Bison make a great 2nd half comeback against another good Ivy team. But I did watch the highlights & CT looked like the "boys" rather then the "men" in this one.
ReplyDeleteMike, Big East Road games are always up for grabs and Seton Hall may ambush a lot of people this year, particularly at the Prudential Center. The Huskies looked awful last night, see today's blog for analysis.
