Expert picks & predictions for UConn at Creighton
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Huskies tonight: UConn +3.5 (-110)
“This is a revenge spot for UConn and a chance for Creighton to sweep the Huskies in the regular season. UConn is coming off a loss, while Creighton has won nine straight and is the home team here. UConn was one of those wins for Creighton during this nine-game winning streak. The Huskies were without star freshman Liam McNealy who returned last game (18 points, 11 rebounds).”
