My Prediction
Connecticut Huskies by 15Alright, let's dive in, shall we? We've got the Connecticut Huskies squaring off with the DePaul Blue Demons in a classic Big East showoff. I won't be pulling any punches, so if you're a Blue Demons fan, you might want to keep the Kleenex handy.
Right off the bat, Connecticut is showing their teeth with a formidable roster. Out in front, you've got Solomon Ball racking up 14.5 points per game this season and not too far behind him is Alex Karaban, beating his chest with 15.4 points per game. Don't forget about our assist machine, Hassan Diarra! He's got 6.5 dimes going out per game in this season.
On the other side of the court, the Blue Demons are putting forth a solid effort too. CJ Gunn and N.J. Benson are holding it down scoring-wise, managing 11.7 and 8.8 points per game this season, respectively. Conor Enright, though, that kid is handing out assists like they're going out of style, with 6.4.
Now, if we look at the historical record, the Huskies have established their supreme dominance over the Blue Demons, with a dramatic win every single face-off in the past 2 years. Pull out your calculators folks, I assure you, there's no mistake there.
Throw in the regular season records, with Connecticut leading 14-6 against the Demons' 10-11, and the recent results, honestly, it's as clear as a polished bowling ball, who has the upper hand here.
Fun fact, the Huskies also outrank the Demons in the AP ranking at 25. Are you getting the picture yet?
