Betting on the Connecticut Huskies
The Huskies’ performance this season has been amazing, as they are still undefeated after nine games played to consolidate their position at the top of the Big East Conference, which is very competitive. However, they should not relax yet as they are only 1.0 game from their closest rival.
Connecticut recorded its ninth win in a row by beating the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their previous outing by a score of 64-74. Jordan Watkins was the team’s top scorer with 24 points, followed by Adama Sanogo who contributed another 20 points to improve his points per game average to 18.7.
The Huskies have been terrific across the board, ranking 19th best on defense in the league with an average of 58.7 points allowed per game, while their offense has allowed an average of 82.9 points scored per game.
Betting on the Florida Gators
Things haven’t gone quite as well for the Gators, who enter this game with a decent record but at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference, so they know they can’t afford to lose if they want to move up in their zone.
Being at home may give the Gators extra confidence heading into this game, as they have lost just one of their five home games and come here after thrashing the Stetson Hatters 51-89 in a game in which they had as many as five players score at least 10 points.
The Gators have been a bit weaker on defense than the visiting team, averaging 69.0 points allowed per game, but they have been very effective on offense, allowing an average of 81.0 points scored per game (40th best in the league).
JefeBet Prediction
The level the Huskies have shown this campaign has been simply amazing, with an offense that ranks among the best in the league and will surely have another productive night against a home defense that has shown good things but tends to give some liberties.
What’s more, the great performance they have had defensively should also be taken into account, as they allowed than 70 points in their nine games this season. So, they will be an interesting challenge for the Gators, who have their offense as their best weapon.
Although they will be visitors, we expect the Connecticut Huskies to leave their mark in this match, considering they have looked dominant all year long, being far superior to their opponents on offense and defense, something they will also do here against an unreliable Florida Gators.
Prediction: Connecticut Huskies Spread.
