Love these battles between former Big East programs, especially when they are Madison Square Gardens.
UConn is looking to prove some stuff and so is Villanova, even though they did nearly bring down Kansas in their last game.
Connecticut Huskies
UConn is not back. They are not going to win it all this season but thanks to a strong backcourt they can be better than expected and a challenge to most teams.
Jalen Adams is having an awesome year. Ignore the fact that his scoring is down a tick and see that he is shooting it better than ever. He score 17ppg in less than 29 minutes of action. His number will go up with usage.

Finally healthy Alterique Gilbert is contributing. He makes over 42% of his threes – which is actually better than his overall percentage. He also runs the attack which makes Adams more dangerous.
Christian Vital is one of the best rebounding guards in the country. He actually leads the team and is just 6’2. He is the third leading scorer and one of four guards scoring in double figures. They are an impressive group overall. .
Villanova Wildcats
The defending champs are the most confusing team in the country right now. Last week they lost at Penn and at Kansas by three points. How is that possible given the differences?
This is not a home game but an important one as the Wildcats look to prove their value. At a certain point people just look at how many losses yo have and don’t care about the circumstances.

Villanova is still waiting for their heralded freshman class to start making more than negative headlines. Their depth is not where they need it to be without them.
Case in point, they did not get a single point off the bench in the loss to the Jayhawks. 29 minutes, no points, 1 rebound and 2 turnovers, plus some fouls. That is not going to cut it.

Free Connecticut Huskies vs. Villanova Wildcats NCAAB Prediction:
This kind of looks like a coin flip. You want to give Villanova the benefit of the doubt but that is hard this season.
The Huskies just have to get enough from their guys up front. That will be the key to winning or just competing.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: UConn ATS
I like the Huskies here but Villanova will always be an intriguing dog. The line will be critical in establishing value as always.
