What to Know

The Huskies simply couldn't be stopped on Sunday, as they easily beat the Delaware State Hornets at home 95-60. UConn can attribute much of their success to forward Adama Sanogo, who had 26 points in addition to eight boards.

Barring any buzzer beaters, UConn is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (3-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.
