Connecticut Huskies: (-125)

 

•  The line for the game is Connecticut by 1.5 points.

•  Chase Jeter scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against Georgia Southern in 18 minutes while sophomore guard Alex Barcello added a career-best 16 points for Arizona, which led by 34 in the second half. Sophomore guard Brandon Randolph leads the team in scoring at 16.9 points per game but is 9-for-31 beyond the arc, and freshman Brandon Williams averages 13 points and 4.1 assists but is 9-for-35 from deep. The 6-10 Jeter (12.4 points, 66.7 percent shooting, 7.6 rebounds) and 6-9 Pitt grad transfer Ryan Luther (6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds) give Arizona an inside presence on both sides of the court.

•  Christian Vital scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half, Jalen Adams also finished with 19 and Alterique Gilbert and Josh Carlton contributed 15 apiece against the River Hawks. Adams (18.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists) is shooting just 32.1 percent beyond the arc – three-tenths of a percent less than he shot last season. Gilbert (13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists) has scored in double figures in every game and recovered from a two-game shooting slump two weeks ago (7-for-23) to raise his percentage to 43.3 for the season, including 46.9 from 3-point range.

•  Arizona beat UConn 73-58 last season, as Adams was held to 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting.
