NCAA Basketball Betting Lock Alert - Connecticut at Rutgers
by Eric Williams
The 16th-ranked Connecticut Huskies, (21-6 SU, 10-12-1 ATS, 11-12 O/U), may have had their ten-game winning streak snapped this past Saturday, losing at Big East rival Villanova 67-65, but the Huskies will likely have their matchup against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, (10-18 SU, 7-16-1 ATS, 11-13 O/U), well in hand, likely by the time halftime rolls around.
The Scarlet Knights have dropped seven straight games and eight of ten coming into this affair, including a resounding 78-48 thumping at the hands of Marquette on Saturday.
