Overview
- UConn led by 18 in the second half before Seton Hall closed to 65-64 on a Mike Williams III 3-pointer with 48 seconds remaining.
- Silas Demary Jr. sank four free throws in the final 29 seconds and Braylon Mullins blocked a late Williams 3-point attempt to secure the win.
- Tarris Reed Jr. paced the Huskies with 21 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, carrying the offense on a tough shooting night.
- Both teams struggled from long range as UConn went 3-for-17 and Seton Hall 1-for-16, and the Pirates’ 10 missed free throws offset UConn’s 17 turnovers.
- The victory extends UConn’s winning streak to 13 games and moves the Huskies to 17-1 overall and 7-0 in the Big East, as Dan Hurley praised Seton Hall as a team he would avoid in March.
