#626 ASA FREE PLAY ON UConn -11 over St Johns, Saturday at 8 PM ET - We really like this spot for the Huskies at home coming off a road loss earlier this week. UConn was favored by 8 @ Seton Hall on Wednesday and lost by 15 points making only 38% of their shots and 19% of their triples. It was a tough spot for the Huskies as they had beaten a very good Gonzaga team by 13 points on the west coast 5 days prior to taking on Seton Hall. The only other loss for the Huskies came by 4 points @ Kansas and they bounced back to roll over UNC by double digits after that loss. They have very solid top 100 wins vs Indiana, UNC, Texas, and Gonzaga all by double digits. St John’s has been solid this year with an 8-3 record under new HC Rick Pitino but they are walking into a hornet’s nest here. The Red Storm haven’t been away from home in over 20 days and they’ve played only 1 true road game this season. UConn has won 25 of their last 27 home games and this team ranks in the top 20 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They are also one of the top offensive rebounding teams in the nation (7th) which should give them some extra opportunities vs STJ who ranks 278th in defensive rebounding. UConn is 6-0 at home winning by an average score of 94-60 and we like them to take care of a transition St John’s team with nearly all transfers in their rotation. Lay it.
