Arizona State at Connecticut 7:00 ET
Sun Devils (+) over Huskies- Two clubs that are off disappointing campaigns meet in this first-round NIT contest as the former NCAA Champion Huskies failed to qualify for the 'Big Dance' falling to SMU in Hartford in their conference playoff final. Neither of these teams did their backers any favors this season as Connecticut was 13-18 ATS and the Sun Devils were 13-19 against the money. Arizona State enters this contest 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall while the Huskies enter this fray 1-7 ATS after a straight-up loss. It may be more of a gut feeling but I believe the defending champs suffered more by not making the tournament and their play will show it. Take ARIZONA STATE!
