The 17th-ranked Huskies are off to a 13-3 start but they have shown some chinks in the armor with a neutral court loss to UCF and a road loss at Seton Hall.
And while we don’t think the Bearcats have enough to spring the outright road upset, we do feel there could be a scare in Storrs tonight for the homestanding Huskies.
The Bearcats were bounced by UConn from last season’s Big East tourney and are 5-1 ATS with revenge in this series when the Huskies arrive off a SU win.
And we figure that Calhoun’s clan will be out for blood in South Bend on Saturday when they attempt to stop a three-game losing streak to the Irish.
That may very well fi nd the hosts a bit lackadaisical early tonight in Gampel Pavilion.
Nonetheless, the Huskies’ 4-11 ATS log as chalk versus avenging conference foes assures this one will be nip-and-tuck all night. A solid Big East take.
Current line: Connecticut -6½ against Cincinnati at Bovada sportsbook.
