(NCAAB) Connecticut vs. Xavier, 02/13/2021 12:00 PM, Score: 80 - 72
Point Spread: 4.00 | -110.00 Connecticut (Away)
Result: Win
Xavier hasn’t had a lot of time on the court over the past month but the Musketeers were fortunate enough to win their first game back from a long layoff against Butler. Things might not be so easy in this spot against a UConn team that will be hungry for an all-important win. The Huskies have dropped four of their past five games but could sneak back onto the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble with a victory in this matchup. UConn's James Bouknight is expected back for this game and he will provide a huge boost. UConn has held its own against some tough competition and only one of their last four losses came by more than eight points. Take the Huskies to cover the spread on the road in this Big East battle on Saturday.
