New Hampshire vs UConn Prediction
The current betting odds have UConn listed as a 30.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UConn has looked really good this season with their 6-0 record overall and they are 4-0 in their home games too. The defending National Champions are entering this game ranked 5th in the nation but they have definitely been feeling disrespected by that with the way they have been blowing out their opponents. None of their games have really been close this year and they are getting another team on their home court that is a lot weaker in talent. New Hampshire has looked good this season with their 4-2 record overall but they haven't been great in their road games with their 1-2 road record. They have also been playing against much weaker teams and haven't had to play a team like UConn yet. UConn is one of the best teams in the country and they are going to continue blowing out these inferior opponents on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on UConn to cover the spread in this game.
New Hampshire UConn Prediction: Our NCAAB Pick for Monday, November 27, 2023 (7:00 pm ET start time) is UConn 96 New Hampshire 52.

Notable Quotes
"At that level, you could easily get lost in the shuffle if you don't pick the right school. That's one reason I stayed here. It all sounded good, but how do I know? You can easily be replaced. Here I know I'll be a priority." - Clarence Daniels on staying with the team for his last season.
“He should be talked about as one of the best guards in the country. But, people that don't watch the games and just watch TikTok highlights are the ones judging.” - Dan Hurley on Tristen Newton after his team’s win against Manhattan in their last game on Friday.
