I'm placing a four-unit wager on Xavier, 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games, to cover the spread on Sunday afternoon at UConn. The Huskies barely squeezed out a win in the last meeting between these teams despite a poor shooting performance by the Musketeers. It will take more than that to win and cover, as the Musketeers are desperate for a win after losing three straight games.

Connecticut will have its work cut defending the perimeter, as Xavier stars Quincy Olivari (42.9 3PT%) and Dayvion McKnight (38.1 3PT%) are threats from deep. On the other end of the court, Xavier's interior defense will challenge UConn center Donovan Clingan all game. The Musketeers hold their opponents to 51.9 percent at the rim and block nearly 14 percent of their rim shot attempts.
