Connecticut Huskies vs NC Asheville Bulldogs Point Spread Picks

The Huskies lost Kemba Walker to the NBA and this season will rely on Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier for offense. Obviously they are the big favorite in this game, but don't count out the Bulldogs who return four starters from last season from a team that won the Big South tournament. This team made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament, so they won't be automatically overwhelmed by the situation. So far in four games the Bulldogs are averaging 91 points per game. They even put up 75 on the No. 1 team in the nation on Sunday. This will be the first real test for Connecticut as the Huskies haven't faced anyone of note yet. Under Jim Calhoun, the Huskies are just 70-85 ATS as a double-digit favorite and 53-69 ATS following a home win by 10+ points. They are also 8-22 ATS under Calhoun on the road following three straight 10+ point wins. UConn may sleep a little here, allowing UNC Asheville to stay within this big number.
