No need to overthink this one. UConn is the much better defensive team in this matchup. Much is made of Gonzaga's #1 ranking in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency, but the Huskies are right there at #3. The Huskies have rolled through their first three games and have won all 15 of their non-conference games by double digits this season. Gonzaga is coming off an emotional game against UCLA with a huge 2nd half, while UConn was able to cruise down the stretch.
UConn has covered the spread in eight of its last nine games and is 12-1 in its last 13 games as a favorite.
