Stephen Nover's CBB Thursday Top Ticket
(NCAAB) Southern Methodist vs. Connecticut, 01/25/2018 2:00 PM, Score: 52 - 63
Point Spread: -5.50 | -110.00 Southern Methodist (Away)
Result: Loss
UConn has failed to cover in 22 of its last 30 home games and I don't like its chances here.

SMU have the sixth stingiest defense in the country holding foes to 62 points a game. The combination of the Mustangs' defense and outstanding outside shooting should mean a double-digit victory.

UConn just can't concentrate on one SMU player because every Mustang starter averages double figures.

The Huskies are down second-leading scorer Terry Larrier. He's out with a fractured sinus wall.
