Pro Picks
Wichita State at Connecticut
Coach Dan Hurley of the UConn Huskies knew he had a large rebuilding job to do taking on the job at UConn. He has expressed his frustrations with a young team that lacks much offense on the inside. While some help is on the way with a solid recruiting class, his team continues to turn the ball over, get in foul trouble, and produce little inside. Wichita State has just one returning starter and comes in at 8-10 on the season, but the Shockers have held each of its last two opponents to less than 40% shooting and a lack of inside scoring will cost Uconn here. Play Wichita State on the moneyline.

Pro Picks
Wichita State at Connecticut
The seat is starting to heat up under Kevin Ollie. His UConn team struggled in out of conference games, needing overtime to beat Columbia and Monmouth at home. The PK80 Tournament exposed them as well as Arkansas beat them by 35, and road trips to Arizona and Auburn resulted in embarrassing blood baths. Ollie lost three players to transfers, another top recruit to Providence he originally signed and what is left is not what we are used to seeing from the Huskies. Wichita State is a seasoned veteran team that is Final Four talented, and this will be their first shot in the AAC Conference and I'm sure they will bring their "A" game against a storied program that doesn't have many good stories of late. Play on Wichita State.
