UConn aims to continue ascent vs. Seton Hall

March Madness might be starting a week early for UConn and Seton Hall. The Big East Conference rivals will meet Wednesday night in Newark, N.J., and both teams’ hopes of an NCAA Tournament berth might ride on the outcome. Depending on which bracket expert you believe, the Huskies (12-6, 9-6 Big East) and Pirates (13-10, 10-7) are either safely in the field of 68, ticketed for the First Four or even left out.
