KEEP AN EYE ON

Plenty to play for: A chance to complete the program’s first undefeated home schedule in 18 years. A chance to secure at least a tie for the Big East regular-season title for the first time in those same 18 years.

A nationally-televised game on CBS (not CBS Sports Network, the big CBS).

Senior Day for Tristen Newton, Cam Spencer, Hassan Diarra and Andrew Hurley. The “passing of the collar from Jonathan the Husky XIV to Jonathan XV.

There is plenty of incentive for the UConn men’s basketball team to beat Seton Hall on Sunday. But there is one that is perhaps is biggest of all. Revenge.

Seton Hall is one of three teams to have beaten the Huskies this season. UConn has split its two games with Creighton and would only have a chance to avenge its loss at Kansas in the NCAA Tournament. But there’s no way the Huskies want to get swept in their season series with the Pirates and coach Shaheen Holloway, Dan Hurley’s point guard successor at Seton Hall over 25 years ago and his chief competition for Big East Coach of the Year this season.

On Dec. 20 in Newark, N.J., in both teams’ Big East opener, the Huskies and Pirates were in a dogfight. Donovan

Clingan was dominating the paint and scored the first six points of the second half. Then, just under 3 1⁄2 minutes into the half, Clingan fell to the floor, grabbing his right ankle and wincing in pain. He never returned to the game, or any UConn game for the next month, due to tendon injury.

UConn, which trailed by four points at the time of Clingan’s injury, wound up losing by 15 — at the time, its worst loss in nearly four years.

On Sunday, a healthy Clingan and the Huskies will look to avenge that loss. Seton Hall has been one of the surprises of the league, currently sitting at fourth place in the Big East standings after being picked to finish ninth. The Pirates had won three straight and four of five before a 21-point shellacking on Wednesday at Creighton (where UConn had lost by 19 a week earlier).

Seton Hall is playing to move up to a No. 3 seed in the Big East tourney, as well as secure an NCAA Tournament bid.

But UConn is playing for plenty, as well. Including, perhaps more than anything, a shot at revenge.
