UConn Huskies at Memphis Tigers Prediction

Neither team has been padding bettors’ bankrolls with both having negative returns and of the two UConn leads the way with a dreadful 2-8 spread mark this season. I think that’s going to change here. The Huskies have played a tough December schedule going off as the dog in four of the five lined games and while they have dropped their last three spread decisions two of the losses came in overtime. Look for Connecticut to been in this to the last buzzer and may surprise with an outright win.
