This game will be a battle between two very efficient teams in this Jimmy V Classic. UNC has the edge in the series but UConn will have the crowd at MSG. This will be the first of three top teams that UNC will play in the next few days and also a situational look ahead spot for them too as the Huskies can take advantage of that. Ucon does have the edge in defense so expect them to bounce back from their loss to Kansas and win and cover in this game.

UNC are 1-1 SU in the Jimmy V Classic. Connecticut are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games. Connecticut are 13-1 SU in their last 14 games. North Carolina are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.

Best bet: lay the points with Ucon.
