Saturday saw yet another tough blow for the UConn Huskies — blown lead, that is. Seton Hall shocked the Huskies not once, but twice with last-second shots to end up with a 69- -68 win at home.
UConn largely controlled the game throughout the first half, but the Pirates crept up by the end of the first half to trade leads with the Huskies for the rest of the matchup. In the final minutes, UConn pulled ahead, going up by as many as seven points with less than a minute remaining.
After coming back from a seven-point deficit early in the second half, the Huskies went on to blow a seven-point lead with 1:54 to go in regulation. A 10-3 Seton Hall run sent the contest to overtime— before a layup from forward Scotty Middleton in the back-and-forth final frame sealed it for the Pirates with just three seconds to go.
