In this UAB vs Connecticut Prediction, Connecticut is coming as -11.5-point home favorites, with the total set at 64 points. Both teams are coming into this matchup in opposite trajectories, as Connecticut is 4-1 in its last 5 games and has been perfect at home, while on the other hand, UAB is 1-3 in its last 4 and winless on the road. The Huskies have the 20th-best offense in the country and are going up against the fourth-worst defense of UAB, so I am expecting a blowout today. Take Connecticut and lay the -11.5 points at home.
