JefeBet Prediction
Just by looking at the numbers of the two teams, we can expect an explosive match, as they have shown a lot of offensive power. This, in turn, leads us to believe that we will see a close matchup in which the margin of victory will probably be minimal, but that UConn will not lose the undefeated in this year 2022.
Prediction: UConn Huskies win by 3 points.
