ANDREW’S FREE UCONN VS NEW HAMPSHIRE PREDICTION 

I’ll probably just stick with UConn. Also probably not touching it, though; the line’s crazy thick. The Huskies had zero issues with Manhattan in their last outing, shooting a blistering 58.1 percent from the field with a 37-27 rebounding advantage. The only “close” game UConn has had so far was against Texas, and even that one wasn’t all that close of a finish. 

As for New Hampshire, they’re coming off a nice effort versus a struggling Fairfield team, hitting 50 percent from the field with 37 rebounds and 14 assists. Needless to say, there will be quite the uptick in competition here. The only question is margin of victory.
