UCONN Huskies vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Preview

UCONN (21-7) may be able to avoid playing in the first round in the Big East tournament if they can beat WVU (18-10), but that will not be easy since the Mountaineers are 11-2 at home this season.

In their last games both teams played on Sunday with UCONN beating Cincinnati 67-59 and WVU beating Rutgers 65-54.

This season UCONN has been a decent betting team at 13-9 ATS while West Virginia has not at 11-14 ATS. UCONN is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against WVU.

The Huskies hit on 10 of 19 of their 3-pt bombs in their last win, but hitting the long ball will be tougher tonight against a WVU defense that has one of the best 3-pt defenses in the nation. Huskies’ leading scorer Kemba Walker (22.8 ppg) ranks 2nd in the Big East in scoring and if WVU can shut him down they will be in good shape.

WVU will be facing a Huskies’ defense that ranks 103rd in the nation in opponents points per game. The Mountaineers are 2-2 in their last 4 games and they have struggled in that span only shooting 37.6%. They will need a good outside/inside game from the combo of G Casey Mitchell (14.8 ppg) and F Kevin Jones (12.6 ppg 7 rpg).

UCONN is a slightly better team on the boards and if they can control the glass tonight there is a good chance the will score an upset.

The Huskies have a lot of confidence and while WVU is a solid home team I think UCONN will shoot the rock well and Walker will have a big scoring game.

Betting Trends

UCONN is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 and WVU is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning % above .600.

Pick: UCONN +4.5
