UConn has yet to win a road game this season. I thought their guards might make them a sleeper but it hasn’t come together like that.
SMU is headed to what looks like the worst season since Larry Brown’s first year on campus. Their identity has been deteriorating over time.
Connecticut Huskies
The Huskies have lost three in a row to drop to 4-8 in the AAC. Their only chance now is to somehow run the table in the conference tournament.
Jalen Adams is a good player but he turns the ball over too much to be great. You look at his percentages and he looks relatively efficient but he has just two more assists than turnovers on the season.

Christian Vital is a good rebounder but he also gives the ball away too much. He has just one more assist than turnover and those two players have the ball more than anyone.
Not helping matters is the fact that Alterique Gilbert is out, he has missed the last give games. Adams is out too as it looks like they are saving him for the most important part of the season at this point.
SMU Mustangs
The Mustangs have lost five in a row and they have to feel a bit broken at this point. They have had many close losses this season.
Leading scorer Jahmal McMurray is a nice player. He is averaging 17ppg but he averaged just over 20 in his last season at USF before transferring.

He and another transfer Jimmy Whitt Jr. form a solid backcourt. Unlike the Huskies guards Whitt holds on to the ball. He has an assist to turnover ratio of better than 2:1.
Ethan Chargois has size inside and might be able to have success against a UConn team without much of an inside presence. There could be an advantage there.

Free Connecticut Huskies vs. SMU Mustangs NCAAB Prediction:
UConn is really shorthanded right now. At full strength they might have been a threat even though they have not won a road game.
SMU is hardly an inspiring story this season but they should get this one at home.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: SMU ATS.
Been burned by the Huskies a number of times this season and there is no reason like them in this spot.
