Notre Dame at Connecticut

Connecticut is hot but they are still a young team that plays up and down to their competition, especially at home. And, their leading scorer Anderson is still out. Notre Dame is a decent team with good front court depth and I think they can keep this one close. While CT plays great defense, the Irish are 11-1 ATS versus good defensive teams (holding opponents to <42%) this season. Notre Dame is also 9-2 ATS vs. winning teams and 9-0 ATS on the road this season. Go with the Irish for two stars.
