The two-time defending national champion UConn Huskies lost their eighth game of the season on Saturday afternoon in Newark, N.J., falling to the now-7-18 Seton Hall Pirates in overtime.
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.
