Shane’s Free Pick
This total is too high. Saint Mary’s knows to find success in this game they are going to need the defense to be good and they are going to need the defense to be good here. Look for UConn to struggle to score against St, Mary’s defense and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to stay under the total. Back the under to cash.
