The No. 20 UConn men’s basketball team took care of business in the Big East tournament quarterfinals, dispatching Seton Hall 62-52. All-conference selections RJ Cole led UConn with 17 points, while Tyrese Martin took his hardware snub personally with 17 points of his own to go with eight rebounds. The Huskies now get Villanova in the semifinals tomorrow at 9 p.m.
“We won it with our defense and our rebounding, which is our identity,” head coach Dan Hurley said postgame.
UConn’s defense was the story of the game, holding Seton Hall to 36 percent shooting.
