UConn Huskies
Last time out, UConn visited #22 Xavier and left with an 83-73 defeat. This was a fantastic game to watch and the 10-point final score does not show the true tightness throughout. UConn led by one at the half and extended that lead to seven early in the second half, but the Musketeers did not back down. Xavier fought back quickly, took the lead, and won outright as 2.5-point underdogs.
Adama Sanogo had 18 points, six rebounds, and one assist on the day. Andre Jackson Jr. added 14 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in the loss.
Through 15 games, UConn is scoring 82.3 points per game, shooting 47.6% from the field, and assisting on 19.1 made shots. The Huskies are allowing 60.7 points, grabbing 39.0 rebounds, blocking 4.8 shots, and stealing the ball 7.7 times.
Providence Friars
Providence visited the DePaul Blue Demons and left with a comfortable 74-59 win. This game was never going to be close and the Friars made sure to remove any doubt on who the winner would be early on. The Friars never trailed, led by 15 at the break, led by as many as 28 points, and easily covered the 5.5-point spread.
Devin Carter had 22 points, four rebounds, one assist, five steals, and four blocks on the day. Jared Bynum added 18 points, four rebounds, and two assists in the win.
After 15 games, Providence is scoring 80.2 points per game, shooting 47.5% from the field, and assisting on 15.1 made shots. The Friars are allowing 67.7 points, grabbing 40.1 rebounds, blocking 5.1 shots, and stealing the ball 8.1 times.
