Betting Trends for vs
Both of these teams have struggled to find any consistency in AAC play as they combine for a 3-10 record, but UConn has suffered the worst start as they only have 1 win in 6 attempts. The Temple Owls have been solid on the defensive side of the court this season as they are holding their opponents to an average of 64.8 PPG, but the same can’t be said about the Huskies, especially against AAC opponents as they are allowing an average of 72.3 PPG. The Owls have a very good backcourt as Quinton Rose is averaging 16.6 PPG and 2.6 SPG while Nate Pierre-Louis is pitching in 10 PPG and 1.7 SPG, and I think the Huskies will struggle to find any success here. The Temple Owls will keep this game close due to their defense, but UConn will edge them out with a win at home. Final Score Prediction, UConn Huskies win but fail to cover ATS 68-65.
