The current betting odds have UConn listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UConn has been crushing teams all year as they are one of the best teams in the country right now and have been very good on their home court. They are one of the best teams in CBB when it comes to covering spreads this season and they are undefeated in all of their home games so far. They are blowing out teams in their games and even though Oklahoma State has been playing well with 5 wins already, they don't have a team that is nearly as good as UConn is. They have played 1 road game this season too and they won that game by almost 30 points, but they were also playing a very bad team and will have a much tougher team on their hands here and in a much more hostile environment. UConn always has a good team but now that they are ranked they are going to be looking to keep that ranking and they can do so with another dominant performance here at home. The best way to place a bet here is on UConn to cover the spread in this game.

"Just thrilled to come out with a win. Obviously taking care of business in a game, but we obviously didn't play great in the first half. In the second half guys tightened up, played much better, starting with our defense. I thought Quion Williams was terrific in terms of setting the tone again by losing himself within the game and making an impact without having to necessarily score. With that being said, there's a lot of improvement that needs to be made. This is what the non-conference is supposed to do, give you some different challenges. So, looking forward to moving forward." - Mike Boynton after his team’s win against Prairie View A&M.

 

 

“When you’re this deep, you can survive nights when your two [best] offensive players gave us six points combined.” - Dan Hurley on his team’s depth this season.
