Stonehill vs UConn Prediction

The current betting odds have UConn listed as a 35.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UConn is the defending National Champions but they are entering the season ranked 6th in the country. They are already off to a 1-0 start this season and they pulled off a big win on their home court by around 40 points. Meanwhile, Stonehill is already 1-1 this season with a loss in their only road game and this is going to be a much tougher opponent they face here. UConn also has to be feeling disrespected with their rank after winning the National Championship last year so they will be looking for another big win by over 40 points here at home. UConn is also more rested having played 1 less game and they have a lot more talent that Stonehill won't really put up much of a fight and this game will be over very early on. The best way to place a bet here is on UConn to cover the spread in this game. 

Stonehill UConn Prediction:  Our NCAAB Pick for Saturday, November 11, 2023 (12:00 pm ET start time) is UConn 102 Stonehill 43.

Notable Quotes


“[Zegarowski] is honestly one of the top shooters in the country. [Zegarowski] is going to get the focus of a lot of scouting reports everywhere we go where people are going to try and take him away.” - Chris Kraus on Zegarowski ahead of his team’s game against UConn on Saturday.


"He broke the play off. He initially broke off the action, but he created on his own. Then, he got back into that elbow action and got a good look. He's just got to stick with the script. When we run something for you, just execute the play." - Dan Hurley on his son after his team’s win against Northern Arizona in their last game.
