When looking at KenPom’s adjusted defensive rating, there is a bit of a difference between these programs as UConn is 14th in sport with a 93.8 rating thus far while Marquette is sitting at 62nd in the nation with a 98.9 defensive rating right now.

St. John's took advantage of its size and UConn will do the same in this one, as the Huskies are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation while Marquette is one of the worst.

Go with the UConn Huskies with a better rotation to cover the spread as they seem to be the better team in this matchup.
