The Connecticut Huskies haven't won against a Top 5 opponent since December 2000, but look to defeat the No. 4 ranked Villanova Wildcats Monday.
Sporting a 22-1 overall record and a 9-1 mark within the conference, the Huskies aim to knock the Wildcats (9-1 in the conference) for a loss.
Villanova gets its chance to prove the bookies wrong, who opened them as 1-point underdogs. Expect lots of offense in this one with an opening total set high at 148.
The Huskies hope their 99-point explosion last game in a win versus the Pirates was no fluke and that their defence can keep Villanova in check.
Jay Wright's troops were at DePaul against the Blue Demons last game and came away with a 61-51 win, where oddsmakers had them as 9-point favorites. The Wildcats will look to run its 8-game conference winning-streak to nine when they play tonight.
Some trends to consider:
Connecticut is 2-4-1 ATS in its last 7 games against Villanova
Connecticut is 2-4-0 ATS in its last 6 away games against Villanova
Connecticut is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 away
Connecticut is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 games against Villanova
Villanova is 15-4-1 OU in its last 20 at home
Villanova is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 games against Connecticut
