UConn Huskies
The Huskies have had their ups and downs this season and that has continued as of late, as they have alternated wins and losses over their last 6 games. The latest was a 72-61 win over DePaul. Solo Ball led the way for the Huskies in that one, scoring 16 points on 5 of 10 shooting from the field, and adding 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. Alex Karaban, the team’s leading scorer, made just 1 of his 14 shot attempts and finished with 8 points. He did add 8 assists and 6 rebounds as well.

UConn vs. Marquette Prediction:
I like Marquette to cover the 7 point spread at home on Saturday night. The Huskies have been very inconsistent lately, not being able to string together two straight wins. The Golden Eagles on the other hand have won 9 of their last 10 games. They are 11-1 at home SU and are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games. Connecticut is 1-2 ATS as a road dog entering this matchup. The Golden Eagles have scored 72+ points in 9 of their last 10 games. They also have the advantage defensively ranking 47th in opponent points per game while UConn ranks 70th. On top of that, the Huskies top scorer in Alex Karaban has scored single digits in 3 of his last 4 games and shot a combined 3-21 from behind the arc over that same time period. He is struggling and the team is struggling and they will not fare well against a Marquette team that is at home and has dominated lately.
UConn vs. Marquette Prediction: Marquette -7
