New Haven Chargers Betting Preview

The New Haven Chargers are a division one team for the first time and enter the 15th season under coach Ted Hotaling. New Haven is in the NEC and was predicted to finish dead last.

Najimi George returns after averaging 8.1 points and 0.7 assists, while Kyle Kearson averaged 1.1 points and 1.4 rebounds. Timothy Coleman is the only other returning player for New Haven, and he played in two games last season. New Haven is obviously a new team that will be learning on the fly, but just becoming a part of the NEC is an accomplishment, and this is an experienced coaching staff. Maybe the Chargers can shock the conference sooner than later.

UCONN Huskies Betting Preview

The UCONN Huskies won 24 games last season and enter year 8 under coach Dan Hurley. UCONN has made the big dance in each of the last 5 years and have won 2 of the last 3 national titles.

Solo Ball returns after averaging 14.4 points and 1.6 assists, while Alex Karaban averaged 14.3 points and 5.3 rebounds. Tarris Reed Jr. averaged 9.6 points and 1 assist, and Jaylin Stewart played in 624 minutes last season. UConn returns a good portion of last year’s squad and also landed Georgia transfer Silas Demary, who was an all-freshman SEC selection. UConn also snagged Braylon Mullins and Eric Reine, two high profile recruits. UConn will be in the thick of the national title picture yet again.
