The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils and UConn Huskies face off on Tuesday in a college basketball showdown at the XL Center.
UConn Can’t Get Caught Looking Head
UConn’s first two games were against lesser competition and the next game will be against Indiana, but the Huskies need to focus on this game and not look ahead. In the last game against Stonehill, UConn scored 107 points and they ended up winning by 50 points. In the last game against Tristen Newton finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. There were five different players that finished with at least 12 points and they are going to need the balanced attack again.
Another Tough Game for Mississippi Valley State
Just like every year, the Delta Devils have a tough non conference schedule and they haven’t been great. In the last game against Oklahoma, the defense gave up 82 points while the offense scored only 43 points. Two games ago against LSU, the Delta Devils gave up 106 points while the offense only scored 60 points. The top player this season for Missippi Valley State is Rayquan Brown and he is averaging 15.5 points while shooting 41.9 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from behind the three point line.
Shane’s Free Pick
This is a big number to lay, but don’t let that fool you, the Huskies are the playing in thisgame. Two games ago against Oklahoma they gave up 106 points and the Huskies are going to score at least that many here. I don’t see the Delta Devils getting to even 50 points here and this is going to be a comfortable cover. Back UConn against the spread here.
