UConn Huskies
UConn enjoyed a strong start to the season, picking up notable non-conference wins over VCU, Auburn, and St. Bonaventure. The Huskies were riding a four-game winning streak heading into February, but they;ve dropped three of their first four games this month.
Dan Hurley’s unit is one of highest scoring offenses (77.6 ppg), and strongest rebounding (41.2 rpg) squads in the nation.
R.J. Cole leads the team in scoring after getting off to a hot start. The 6’2 guard scored 26 points against VCU, and he’s leading the team in scoring (16.3) and assists (4.4)
Strong rebounding guards Tyrese Martin and Andre Jackson join him in the backcourt, both averaging 6.5 and 7.7 rpg respectively.
Adama Sanogo is really coming into his own this season. The 6’10 sophomore has been dominant, and he posted a remarkable 26/18 line in the win over St. John’s. Sanogo scores 14.9 ppg, while leading the team in rebounding (8.1).
Longtime Husky Isaiah Whaley remains in the fold, and the fifth-year senior is averaging 7.4 ppg and 4.9 rpg.
St. John’s Red Storm
St. John’s wasn’t able to build much of a resume through non-conference play, with only wins over in-state foes Fordham and Monmouth standing out. The Red Storm started conference play 2-4, and they enter this on the heels of a home loss to Villanova, 75-69..
The Red Storm are one of the highest scoring teams in the nation at 79.3 ppg, good for 14th in the country.
Julian Champagnie leads the charge again after a breakthrough 2020 season. The 6’8 swingman scored a season-high 34 points and grabbed a career-best 16 boards in the win over DePaul, and he’s makes the Red Storm a threat to win every night. Champagnie is averaging a team-leading 18.5 ppg and a team-leading 6.6 rpg.
Posh Alexander compliments him well from the lead guard spot. The 6′ sophomore is quietly one of the best point guards in the country, and he plays an efficient, well-rounded, two-way game. Alexander is second on the team in scoring 14.9 ppg, while grabbing 4.7 rpg, and dishing out a team-leading 5.2 apg.
The NY-born guard also leads the Big East in steals (2.6). The pairing of Alexander and Dylan Addae-Wusu (9.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 4.2 apg) has given St. John’s strong backcourt play on both sides of the ball.
Transfer imports Montez Mathis (Rutgers) and Aaron Wheeler (Purdue) start up front and the latter is coming off a career-high 31 points against Villanova..
CBB Betting Trends:
- SHU is 6-4 ATS in their last 10 road games.
- SJU is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.
- Over is 5-2 in Red Storm’s last 7 games.

I’ll play the scoring game at MSG with this light slate today. These are two of the top scoring teams in the Big East, and a lot points should be scored under the lights in New York City tonight.
