Last Houston thread was talking about Oswald's shooting record, so let's talk about UConn's chances today.
O/u 133. They adjusted the KenPom o/u down a point, which is wild to me. We've been in the mid 140s since Akok went down, so this is a pretty jarring line. But Houston has been insanely good on defense and often has had games be in the high 50s to low 60s possessions. In conference play, they're at 0.90 points per possession allowed. We're at 0.95 on D since Akok went down, while scoring 1.12. Houston is scoring 1.05.
This should be a tight game, and the old "when in doubt take the team at home against a top 25 team" applies. Huskies moneyline +112 applies.
