Depaul Blue Demons vs. UConn Huskies Prediction

I’m on UConn in this one. I just think that UConn is miles ahead the better team in this game, and Depaul winning back-to-back conference games doesn’t fool me in the slightest. With Depaul, if you know, you know. This team and winning in Big East play does not mix well and I think UConn tags them here. Give me the Huskies in a blowout.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: UConn -19.5
