Nonetheless, the Huskies continue to struggle on the year as they are just two slots away from occupying last place within the AAC. And while wins have been tough to achieve this year, they picked up a 20-point victory over the Shcokers in their last meeting as they jumped out to a 15-point lead at the half while being led by Vital with 21 points, 5 rebounds, along with 5 assists (5-8 3 FG).

Their last outing certainly saw them increase their shooting percentage as they are shooting only 41% from the floor on the year. McDuffie (18 ppg) has been their leading scorer on the season, yet shoots on 37% from the floor per outing.
As stated, he certainly had an outing to forget in the last meeting versus the Huskies. However, the Shockers have been the most consistent of the two recently as they will look to pick up their fourth home win in five games.

Free UConn Huskies vs. Wichita State Shockers NCAAB Prediction:
Two struggling offenses will be facing off versus two defenses that has been the tip of the spear in each team’s very little success on the season. And while UConn picked up the blowout win in their last outing versus the Shockers, Wichita State has played much better at home throughout the season. With that being said, look for the Huskies to drop their fifth straight road game in falling to the Shockers by a 67-61 score in a low-scoring affair.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Shockers ATS
UConn has been awful throughout the season, as pointed out. Furthermore, it is evident to me that they will not be able to keep pace in this matchup versus a Wichita State team that has won five of seven, as stated, along with playing well at home this season. In all, look for the Shockers to cruise in the second while getting the victory.
