Exactly two months from today, the second round of the NCAA tournament will get underway.

Here are our best bets for Wednesday’s college basketball action. And below is a closer look at UConn vs. Seton Hall.

Today’s Best College Basketball Bets: UConn vs. Seton Hall

UConn remains ranked generously at No. 15 in the AP poll despite losing four of its last five games, three of which by 10+ points. And per Erik Haslam on Twitter, UConn’s efficiency numbers are bleak amid that tailspin.

Huskies head coach Danny Hurley should have a little more fire than usual returning to his alma mater, but we expect Shaheen Holloway’s Seton Hall squad to muck the game up defensively and stay close throughout. The Pirates have won four of five and rank in the top 21 in adjusted defensive efficiency, effective field goal percentage, and 3-point percentage allowed.

UConn has covered just one of its last seven games, and four of its previous 14 road games. Thus, we will continue to fade this reeling Big East contender.

Bet: Seton Hall +5 (-110 at DraftKings)
