College basketball odds, picks and predictions for UConn Huskies vs Providence Friars. NCAAB betting free pick and best bet analysis.
It wasn't pretty, but UConn got the win over Providence at home earlier this season. Our college basketball picks believe the Friars won't catch UConn napping again, and that Providence will struggle to solve the Huskies' defense even at home.
That was an atypical game from the Huskies in the sense that they usually get most of their points from downtown and do not get very many foul shots. UConn ranks 228th in the nation with 18.1% of their points from the free throw line. They also rank 92nd in 3-point attempts and 51st in 3-point shooting percentage .
The Friars lost Bryce Hopkins early in conference play, which was a huge hit to their offense. Hopkins averaged 15.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists before going down with a knee injury. Since his injury, the Friars have been held to under 60 points in eight of their 17 games. Finally, we will add some made 3s since UConn will vastly improve from that 4-for-18 shooting performance last time. Since that game, the Friars have allowed their opponents to shoot 9.9-for-27.8 from downtown. Cam Spencer shot eight of the 18 threes in the last game but only made one. This time he will get a similar volume but make a much better percentage. The Huskies are 19-11 against the spread this season and 6-4 ATS in road games.
