Kadary Richmond (Guard) vs. Tristen Newton (Guard)

Kadary Richmond has been the catalyst for Seton Hall this season, averaging 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. The junior guard stuffs the stat sheet on a nightly basis but has been prone to sloppy play at times with 3.2 turnovers per contest. Richmond will need to value each possession against a tough UConn defense.

Meanwhile, Tristen Newton pilots the Huskies’ attack with 15.2 points and 5.9 assists per outing. The senior is an excellent floor general and marksman, shooting 40.9% from the field and 30.6% from deep. Newton excels at getting his teammates involved but can also take over games with his scoring. His battle with Richmond could swing this Big East showdown.

With both guards adept at filling it up and setting up teammates, this matchup will be determined by efficiency and decision making. If Newton can limit his miscues while still creating looks, the Huskies will be in prime position. But if Richmond dominates time of possession while matching Newton’s output, the Pirates could pull off the upset.

Pirates’ Prowess on the Court

The Pirates are putting up 73 points per game on 45.1% shooting, relying on a balanced offensive attack. Seton Hall has four players averaging double figures in scoring, led by guard Kadary Richmond’s 16.3 points per contest. The Pirates are also getting it done from deep, knocking down 31.4% from three-point range. Seton Hall crashes the offensive glass effectively as well, using their athleticism to pick up 12.5 offensive boards per game. That has fueled their efficient scoring. However, the Pirates have had some lapses on defense recently, allowing over 71 points over their last 10 games.

Huskies’ Dominance Detailed

The Huskies have dominated opponents all season thanks to a tenacious team defense that yields just 64.2 points per outing. UConn has held its last five opponents under 70 points thanks to the efforts of their shot blockers. The Huskies also control play with their rebounding, pulling down 38.4 boards per game compared to just 31.4 for their opponents. Their forwards each chip in over five rebounds per contest. That gives UConn extra chances to score while limiting second opportunities for the opposition.
