Uconn by Xavier -Selection and Predictions
Forecast
UCONN 76, XAVIER 69
Moneyline
Uconn (+105) is a solid game on the road as it looks to its first win in regulation since January 11 in Georgetown. Uconn has won only twice in the last 4 games.
Xavier (-130) can’t trust at home as the offense has really fought this season. The muskets have suffered 6 losses in the last 10 games since December 14, and it is unlikely to increase the 2-time defending national champs, although Huskies have some matches recently.
Toward the spread
Backing Uconn +1.5 (-105) makes no sense unless you feel xavier -1.5 (-115) wins by only one point. If you like Huskies, they are a much better option for plus money of ml.
Uconn has won 4 equal meetings in the series, including the last visit to Cinta’s Center 10 January 2024, last season.
AVOID.
