Manhattan is entering this game with a 3-1 record overall and they are 2-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

Jaden Winston led the team in assists with 5 in that game while Seydou Traore led the team in rebounds with 8.

UConn is entering this game with a 5-0 record overall and they are 3-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming off a win against the Texas Longhorns in their last game. Alex Karaban led the team in points in that game with 20 while Cam Spencer was next on the team with 16. Tristen Newton led the team in assists with 7 in that game while Samson Johnson led the team in rebounds with 8. They were 47.5% from the field, 29.2% from 3-point range, and 88.9% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 89.4 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 60 PPG against them. UConn has an ATS record of 4-1 this season and their O/U record is 3-2.

The current betting odds have UConn listed as a 33 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UConn has looked really good in their games this season with their 5-0 record overall and the 5th ranked team in the land has been rolling over the teams they have played. UConn is also the defending National Champions and they have been feeling disrespected with their ranking coming into the season, playing like it too. Manhattan has also looked good this season with their 3-1 record overall and they have been road tested too with their 2-1 road record. Manhattan doesn't have the talent to keep up with a team like UConn though, especially when UConn is coming off a double digit win against another ranked team, the Texas Longhorns. UConn won't need to do much to pull away at home in this game and eventually they will pull away to the point where the game will be way out of reach for Manhattan. The best way to place a bet here is on UConn to cover the spread in this game. 

Manhattan UConn Prediction:  Our NCAAB Pick for Friday, November 24, 2023 (2:00 pm ET start time) is UConn 99 Manhattan 52.
