UConn vs Villanova Analysis<\/h2>\n

Villanova is 21-6 on the season, and 15-12 against the spread. The Wildcats average 73.7 points per game while giving up 63.1 points per game.<\/p>\n

Connecticut is 19-7 on the season, and 12-14 against the spread. The Huskies average 76.5 points per game while giving up 65.1 points per game. Connecticut is 12-2 at home this season. The over is 16-10 in games involving Connecticut this season, including a 9-6 record at home.<\/p>\n

Hungry for a Rematch<\/h3>\n

Adama Sanogo and Isaiah Whaley landed in foul trouble when these teams squared off at Villanova, allowing Eric Dixon to establish a rhythm. Wildcats head coach Jay Wright has made no secret of him not expecting the same to happen in Hartford.<\/p>\n

The Huskies have dropped five straight against \u2018Nova but are in a strong position to end that streak since the Wildcats have been overcoming nagging injuries for weeks and are now faced with another tough road test after narrowly surviving at the Dunkin\u2019 Donuts Center last week, winning an 89-84 thriller thanks to Collin Gillespie\u2019s big night.<\/p>\n

Gillespie and Justin Moore continue to battle through ankle issues and they\u2019ll be pestered into miscues on the road against a defense itching at another crack at a Wildcats team that finished with 85 points, the third-most points they\u2019ve allowed all season.<\/p>\n
