UConn is coming into this game with a 6-3 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight games at home, but prior to that they lost 3 straight games in neutral locations at the tournament they were playing in. They lost to Memphis, Colorado, and Dayton in that tournament and those have been their only 3 games away from home this season. They have won 2 straight games since then, but they still struggled in their last game against a stronger opponent as they only beat Baylor at home by 4 points. They are going up against a Texas team that is 7-1 this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They lost their 1st game of the season in a neutral location to Ohio State by 8 points, but they have won their last 7 straight games since then. They played 2 other games in a neutral location since that loss, beating both Saint Joseph's and Syracuse in those games, and now they are coming off of a 4 point win against NC State in their last game which was also their 1st road game of the season. Now they are going to be back at home with some confidence from that road win and they have been much better at home this season. They have won all 4 of their games there and have won all 4 of those games by 20+ points. UConn won B2B championships, but the team is certainly in a bit of a down year with their current start to the season, and they have struggled with stronger opponents in their first few games as well. UConn will struggle in their 1st road game of the season here as Texas has been so good at home. Texas will cover the spread in this game.
