10* GAME OF WEEK (15-8 ALL L6 DAYS!)
(NCAAB) Xavier vs. Connecticut,
Point Spread: -6.00 | -110.00 Connecticut (Home)
Result: Loss
10* UConn (BIG EAST GOW)

Xavier has been great, but I think it's getting a little TOO much respect here now. It lost 73-72 to DePaul, and then bounced back with a 95-82 win over Georgetown. Beating the Hoyas these days is no big deal, but what is concerning is that the Musketeers allowed 80 or more points for the third time in their last five games. UConn got back on track with a dominant 86-56 home win over Butler last time out, snapping a three-game slide. The Huskies started out the season 14-0, and their first loss of the year occurred at home to Xavier, falling 83-73 as three-point favs on New Year's Eve. Look for the Musketeers to struggle defensively again, and for the revenge-minded Huskies to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish; the play is UConn!
