UConn vs Furman Predictions & Picks

Furman are tipped to cover as underdogs in this opening-round matchup.

UConn are rightly favorites, but they are banged up, come into this game on the back of a rough loss, and they have rarely covered the spread in recent months.

  • UConn are 7-14-0 ATS in their last 21 games
  • UConn are 3-9-0 ATS in their last 12 games as a double digit favorite
  • Furman are 4-2-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a betting underdog
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of UConn’s last 7 games

Head To Head

  • UConn lead the all-time series 1-0
  • UConn won 83-58 when the two teams last met in November 2015

Verdict

UConn are the better team, but when it comes to covering the spread they are unreliable.

The Huskies have racked up a bunch of failures in recent months, especially in the role of double-digit favorite, so give us Furman and the free points in round one.
